the treatment parameters.
Upon depression of the up arrow key, the
device will begin delivery of current to the
electrodes starting at an intensity of 0.5 mA.

shown to the right.

Changing the treatment intensity
The up arrow and down arrow keys allow the intensity (current) of a
treatment to be adjusted anytime during a treatment. The adjustment
range of the intensity is 0.5 to 4.0 mA in 0.1 mA increments.
Note: At initial launch of a treatment, an electrode error condition is
most likely to be detected due to electrodes or electrode cables
not correctly connected or attached to the patient.
Single Phase:
The display to the right is a
typical display of a single phase treatment
currently occurring on channel 1 and shows
an treatment intensity of 4.0 mA with a
dose delivered so far of 23 mA-min. The
total target dose to be delivered is 40
mA-min. The polarity of the treatment is
positive. The time remaining until the
treatment concludes is “8:15” (eight
minutes and fifteen seconds)
.
At the completion of a single phase treatment, the intensity (current)
will be automatically “ramped-down” by the device to 0 mA over a
period of about ten seconds. At this time, the device will generate
four beeps followed by two beeps (•••• ••) to signal the end of the
treatment.
Dual Phase:
The display shown on the
right is a typical display of a dual phase
treatment currently occurring and shows
that the positive treatment of 30 mA-min
has completed and that the negative
treatment is currently occurring. 20 mA-min
of a total negative target dose of 40
mA-min has been delivered so far at the
Note: As the intensity is varied by the user during a treatment, the time
displayed until the end of the treatment is actively modified
based-on the new current level and the total target dose
desired. At low intensity levels, the treatment times can be
quite long; whereas, if the intensity is raised toward the 4.0 mA
level, the treatment time can be significantly reduced.

Note: During a treatment, the treatment intensity will be immediately
reduced to the 0.5 mA level, if the On/Off key is pressed
momentarily. This is a safety feature built-into the device.
Note: It is desirable to increase the intensity of a treatment to a
comfortable maximum in order to shorten the total treatment time.
WARNING
When increasing the intensity, care should be taken not to exceed a level
that causes patient discomfort.
