1 Introduction
1.1 Intended use
The
DUODYNATOR
®
1049
is a microprocessor controlled electrical stimulus device for Electro Therapy.
Their wide range of usage predestinates these medical devices for use in physiotherapeutic departments of
clinics as well as in modern well-equipped private practices.
The
DUODYNATOR
®
1049
is a therapeutic device for the classical electro therapy particularly in multi-
channel operation as well as for the therapy with two-dimensional interference current.
If two middle-frequency electrical circuits of different frequencies, or those which are phase shifted towards
each other, transpose, a new frequency – the interference frequency – is generated at the intersection point
through superpositioning of the superposed amplitudes.
DUODYNATOR
®
1049
uses this two-dimensional
interference method. This allows the desired highest possible low-frequency stimulation from the immediate
area surrounding the electrode to be shifted into deeper regions, since this is where it is generated.
Apart from the two-dimensional interference currents,
DUODYNATOR
®
1049
offers a selection of single
circuit currents and provides a therapy with medium sine waves. The therapy is absolutely free of d.c.
components. There are four channels available. The carrier frequency can be set from 4000 to 12000 Hz in
steps of 2000 Hz.
The
DUODYNATOR
®
1049
is particularly suitable for:
•
Pain therapy
•
Muscle detoning
•
Muscle training
•
Muscle stimulation (increase energy consumption)
•
Lipolysis (degradation of fat cells in the epidermis)
•
Edema treatment
•
Fat burning.
Also the operation of the
DUODYNATOR
®
1049
is facilitated by programs, which automatically adjust the
therapeutic frequencies and the treatment time. Therapeutic frequencies, especially for gymnastics, muscle
training, muscle detoning, lipolysis, fat burning and edema treatment are available. It offers also the
possibility of editing programs by the therapist himself.
