Introduction
1.1
Intended Use
The
HiToP
®
191
is a microprocessor-controlled HighTone Therapy device for
electrotherapy. Its application range predestines this device for the use at home, in
modern and well-equipped hospitals or medical practices.
Thus, the
HiToP
®
(HighTone
P
ower)
191
is well suited for:
•
pain therapy for polyneuropatic diabetis
•
muscle stimulation (increase of energy consumption)
Through external muscle stimulation the metabolisme is activated which again
results in an improvement of the sensibility to insuline.
Also patients with varicose veins, metal implants, endoprotheses and open wounds
(ulcus cruris) may be treated.
The
HighTone
Power Therapy device
HiToP
(
HighTone
P
ower) provides a
therapy with middle frequency sine waves. The therapy is absolutely free of d.c.
components. There are two 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

is divided into two different ones.
1.2
What is High Tone Power Therapy?
High Tone Power Therapy is a specific new development based on scientific
knowledge from a number of different disciplines, i. e. it is an inter-disciplinary
new development. The specialist knowledge involved is derived from medicine,
physics, mathematics, physiology, histology, cytology, chemistry, biochemistry
and involves their sub-disciplines.
Put briefly and simply:
High Tone Therapy takes the fact that electrical changes in the tissue are always
associated with biochemical changes, and vice versa, and puts it to use for
therapeutic purposes. In doing so it provides an alternative to medicinal, physical
and operative therapies that have so far proven unsatisfactory, risky, associated
with side-effects or even unsuccessful, and planned surgical treatment.
