Electrically isolated output. This is a safety feature so that if an accidental short occurs due to dropping etc. within the unit, it cannot reach the patient.
Pulse duration: 240 microseconds positive / 1.458 microseconds negative
Pulse waveform: Asymmetrical, biphasic, with very short positive spike for nerve stimulation and negative, broad peak of longer duration for muscle stimulation. This is a patent pending feature. This waveform exactly duplicates the waveform of a healthy nerve signal much the same as a pacemaker imitates a healthy cardiac signal.
Pulse repetition rate:
Switch selectable: 7.83 Hz and 90 Hz. 90 Hz modulated 6 seconds on and 6 seconds off with a .25 second ramp-up and a .25 second ramp down within the 6 seconds while on:
Peak charge per pulse: 7.23 microColumbs @ 500 ohm load
Pulse amplitude: 0 to 40 volts @ 500 ohm load, continuously variable
Peak pulse current: 0 to 80 ma @ 500 omh
Power source: 9 V alkaline battery (supplied) or 120 volt AC wall converter to increase power by 30%.
Intended mode of action:
The 7.83 Hz and the 90 Hz settings are designed to control pain by stimulating the large afferent nerves. The 6 second on/off setting is designed to stimulate the muscles to contract. By utilizing the footbath, the entire skin area of the foot vasodilates because of the warm water, allowing increased blood flow to nourish the nerves. This increases the metabolism of the micro-fibers of the dendrites in the skin that initiate the electrical nerve signals.
Unit dimensions: 3 x 1.5 x 6.25
Weight: 8 oz. (with battery)
Footbath dimensions: 15.5 x 13.5 x 12.75
