Combination therapy
It is recommended that only the large ultrasound transducer is used for
combination therapy in order to maintain sufficient contact area to keep the
stimulator current density to a safe level.
The surface of the ultrasound transducer is internally connected to the B1
terminal of the stimulator patient lead and thus becomes that electrode
when used in combination mode. As the blue wire coming from the B1
terminal on the patient lead becomes redundant it is advisable to
disconnect it during combination therapy. The B2 terminal becomes the
electrode paired with the ultrasound head and the yellow wires (A1 and A2)
become an independent pair of electrodes on stimulation channel A. If
Channel A is not to be used do not turn up its output (an electrode error
warning will appear if this is done in CC mode).
Set up both the ultrasound and the stimulator screens ready for treatment,
pressing the menu key after each set-up to return to the system menu.
When both modalities have been programmed press the Combination
button. The following combination screen will appear :-
This displays the current ultrasound and stimulation settings in abbreviated
form.
If a stimulation setting other than 4-pole interferential was chosen a
Combination screen like this will appear:-
