schwa-medico Operating Instruction - EMP 2 PRO
the display on the right hand-side you find two vertical lines. This means: with
the
key both channels will be increased at the same time.
Setting the intensity
You can use the modification keys or the
key to set the intensity of
both channels to a pleasant value at any time. The display shows the strength
of current for both channels, which may be varied from 0-100 mA. Intermediate
values are clearly marked by a dash behind the digit. If the electrodes are not
correctly connected to the device, the intensity is returned to zero starting from
a current of 4 mA. If you are in the run-down or pause phase in muscle stimu-
lation programmes and you press one of the modification keys, the working
phase is started directly from the build-up phase.
Symbols on the display
During stimulation, the current intensity status is shown in the middle of the
display by four symbols:
Continuous stimulation or work phase in muscle stimulation. Stimulation is per-
formed at the set intensity.
Build-up phase in muscle stimulation. Intensity is brought up to the set value
from zero. In dynamic stimulation, the intensity of channel 1 is adjusted upwards
to the set value, whereas that of channel 2 is adjusted downwards to zero.
Run-down phase in muscle stimulation. The intensity is brought down from the
set value to zero. In dynamic stimulation, the intensity of channel 2 is adjusted up-
wards to the set value, whereas that of channel 1 is adjusted downwards to zero.
Pause phase in muscle stimulation. Stimulation is performed with 75 % of the
set intensity at a frequency of 3 Hz.
Pause the stimulation
When the sequence number is not flashing, the
key may be used to inter-
rupt stimulation. The word “PAUSE“appears on the display. If the pause key is
pressed again, the last intensity set for both channels is restored via a build-up
ramp.
Stopping stimulation
Use the
key or modulation keys to stop stimulation at any time. Stimulati-
on stops automatically at the end of a programme.
