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.
