1.3 Device description
The
HiToP

is a microprocessor-controlled HighTone Therapy device for electrotherapy. Its application
range predestines this device for the use in modern and well-equipped hospitals or practices.
Also patients with varicose veins, metal implants, endoprotheses and open wounds (ulcus cruris) may be
treated.
The High Tone Power Therapy device
HiToP
(

frequency sine waves. The therapy is absolutely free of d.c. components. There are four channels available.
The frequency range used comprehends 3 octaves, the range of 4096 – 32768 Hz. The therapy frequency is
scanned with a defined frequency. This method is called
SimulFAM

odulation. In the following, the basic method is divided into two different ones.
SimulFAM
i
A slow frequency travers of up to three octaves is realized. The minimum amplitude is passed with the
minimum frequency. The maximum amplitude is passed with the maximum frequency. This therapy
activates the metabolism of the body
without any
effect of irritation.
SimulFAM
X
A frequency travers of three octaves is realized. The frequency travers is realized with different speed
(0.1 - 200 Hz). This therapy activates the metabolism in the body, thus having
an
effect of irritation.
