PURPOSE AND APPLICATION OF SCREENING PROGRAM
The SCREENING program is intended for the rapid assessment of homogeneity of
electrical resistance of the skin zone (ERSZ) before and after DENS treatment. One
measurement of the surface resistance of the skin is made within the first five seconds
after the device is applied.
The energy range is either minimum (ER-1) or comfortable (ER-2). The treatment
method is stationary (electrodes are moved to another position after an audio signal
sounds). The SCREENING program operates at frequency of 10 Hz. Only in-built
electrodes are used in the process.
To enter the SCREENING program, switch on the device. Press FREQUENCY- button
repeatedly until the word SCREENING appears on the screen. Place the electrodes onto
the selected skin zone. Set the level of intensity by pressing the INTENSITY* button
until the patient experiences a light pleasant tingling sensation.
Upon application of electrodes on the skin surface the device automatically starts to
measure the change in electrical resistance on the skin in this zone in response to the
impulse of the device.
After the measurement process the device emits a short audio signal and shows the
measurement results on the screen in the form of ALT index (from 0 to 100). Write
down the shown number and move on to diagnostics of the next zone.
Latent
s are the skin zones where the ALT value is significantly different
from the mean value on both sides. After assessing the value of the zone, the affected
zones should be treated in the
program for a period from 3 to 5 minutes at
frequencies of 60 or 77 Hz at the second (comfortable) intensity level.
