VLFT10GEN Specifications
Internal Memory
Duty Cycle
The VLFT10GEN is capable of operating a duty cycle of 25%, defined as 10 seconds active
and 30 seconds inactive, in any mode for a period of four hours.
Leakage
Storage capacity
8 GB
Precaution
Use of duty cycles greater than 25% (10 seconds active followed by 30 seconds inactive) will
increase the risk that heat build-up under a return electrode may be high enough to injure the
patient. Do not continuously activate for longer than one minute.
