before it was switched off. When switching between ICT and MFmod mode, the last program settings for
the actual mode are loaded.
3.1.5 Galvanic current
The DUODYNATOR 1049 offers the possibility to emit galvanic current. This can be done with channel IV
only and could be selected as single step program.
Galvanic current is used to stimulate the circulation in the area to be treated. It has alleviating
characteristics.
Furthermore, with iontophoresis it serves for percutaneous penetration of drugs. Here the procedureis the
same as in case of galvanization. The quantity of the penetrated drug depends on the purity ofits solution,
the size of the electrodes, the intensity of current, the polarity and the penetration time.The knowledge of the
loading of the drug is especially important for a successful treatment. Acids arealways transported to the
anode, bases to the cathode.

Note!
•
Turn the
Intensity regulator only until the
patient notices a slightly increasing current
.
•
Apply the intermediate layers dripping wet.
•
In case of anode-effective drugs the layer of the anode will be saturated with the solution of the
drug, and in case of cathode-effective drugs the same is made with the layer of the cathode.
•
The electrode layers have to be washed out thoroughly after the expiration of ionthophoresis.
There should not remain any residuals
.
Warning!
•
In case of
iontophoresis
do not exceed the intensity of current of 0.1 mA/cm
2
(active) electrode surface.
•
In case of
galvanization
do not exceed the intensity of current of 0.2 mA/cm
2
(active) electrode surface.
3.2 Contents of display
The therapy display is seperated into two halfs. The therapy view shows the following information:
•
the remaining treatment time,
•
the selected type / name of current program,
•
the presently released voltage and current
•
In ICT mode, an additional shift regulator is displayed.
