Intelect® Transport Combo
18
OVERVIEW
Pulsed Mode (Electrotherapy)
– This is an available mode on the unit in which electrotherapy is distributed intermittently.
Pulsed Mode (Ultrasound)
– The output of the ultrasound is automatically interrupted during the treatment time. This limits the amount
of energy delivered to the tissues.
Ramp
- Ramp is the gradual increase and decrease in current. The purpose of ramping up the current is to maximize patient comfort by
preventing the abrupt and sudden exposure to the current.
Sound Head
– The aluminum face of the applicator that contacts the patient’s skin. It covers a transducer mechanism that converts
electrical energy to mechanical energy in the form of a vibrating crystal.
Sweep
- This is the modulation of therapeutic frequency commonly used to prevent accommodation. Sweeps are measured in pulses per
second (pps) and Hertz (Hz).
Treatment Time –
Measured in minutes and seconds, it is the suggested time in which therapy is given.
Vector
- A vector is a geometrically descriptive feature used to increase the effective therapeutic current at the crossing point of
Interferential.
Vector Position
- The available vector positions are 0 to 90 degrees.
Vector Scan
- Measured in percentages, vector scans are the rhythmic changes of the position of vector. The available vector scans are
Manual, Auto 40% and Auto 100%.
Waveforms
- Waveforms are current or voltage that is varied by time and are the geometrical descriptions of a DC, AC, or pulsed DC/AC
current. For more specifications and types of waveforms available on the Intelect Transport Combo, refer to the section entitled
"Waveform
Specificatio ns."
