USER'S MANUAL
1 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The BTL vac is a vacuum unit for application of electrotherapy currents by suction cup electrodes. Adjustable vacuum
pressure ensures simple and convenient attachment of patient electrodes, especially on the parts of body hard to
reach with flat rubber electrodes. Moreover, the pulse mode provides mechanical massage of the tissue, improves
body metabolism and increases blood supply.
The BTL vac has two independent outputs and operates in both continuous and pulse mode. The unit has four predefined programs to combine various pulse frequencies, and a special program to control vacuum unit directly by the
electrotherapy unit.
