•
may allow the ingress of conductive fluid.
Intelect® Advanced Therapy System
Inspect Applicator cables and associated connectors before
•
each use.
The Intelect Advanced Therapy System is not designed to prevent
•
the ingress of water or liquids. Ingress of water or liquids could cause
malfunction of internal components of the system and therefore
create a risk of injury to the patient.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
•
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in
the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. Harmful interference to other
devices can be determined by turning this equipment on and off.
Try to correct the interference using one or more of the following:
Reorient or relocate the receiving device, increase the separation
between the equipment, connect the equipment to an outlet on a
different circuit from that to which the other device(s) are connected
and consult the factory field service technician for help.

WARNINGS (continued)
Stimulation should not be applied over the anterior neck or mouth.
Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur and
the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause
difficulty in breathing.
Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the
•
introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac
arrhythmia.
Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, and
•
inflamed areas or skin eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis,
varicose veins, etc.
Stimulation should not be applied over, or in proximity to, cancerous
•
lesions.

DANGERS
Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this
device, in certain configurations, will deliver a charge of 25
microcoulombs (µC) or greater per pulse and may be sufficient
to cause electrocution. Electrical current of this magnitude
must not flow through the thorax because it may cause a
cardiac arrhythmia.
Patients with an implanted neurostimulation device
must not be treated with or be in close proximity to
any shortwave diathermy, microwave diathermy, therapeutic
ultrasound diathermy, or laser diathermy anywhere on
their body. Energy from diathermy (shortwave, microwave,
ultrasound, and laser) can be transferred through the
implanted neurostimulation system, can cause tissue damage,
and can result in
severe injury or death. Injury, damage, or death can
occur during diathermy therapy even if the implanted
neurostimulation system is turned “off.”

NOTE:
All waveforms except High Voltage Pulsed Current (HVPC) have been
designed with a 200mA current limit.
VMS™, VMS™ Burst and all TENS waveform output intensities are
measured, specified and listed to peak, not peak to peak.
Interferential Current is a medium frequency waveform. Current
is distributed through of t
currents cross each other in the body at the area requiring
treatment. The two currents interfere with each other at this
crossing point, resulting in a modulation of the intensity (the
current intensity increases and decreases at a regular frequency).
The Asymmetrical Biphasic waveform has a short pulse duration.
It is capable of strong stimulation of the nerve fibers in the skin
as well as of muscle tissue. This waveform is often used in TENS
devices. Because of its short pulse, the patient typically tolerates
the current well, even at relatively high intensities.
Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this device, in
certain configurations, will deliver a charge of 25 microcoulombs
(µC) or greater per pulse and may be sufficient to cause
electrocution. Electrical current of this magnitude must not flow
through the thorax because it may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.

TENS- Symmetrical Biphasic
The Symmetrical Biphasic waveform has a short pulse duration
and is capable of strong stimulation of nerve fibers in the skin
and in muscle. This waveform is often used in portable muscle
stimulation units, and some TENS devices. Because of its short
pulse duration, the patient typically tolerates the current well,
even at relatively high intensities.
The Alternating Rectangular waveform is an interrupted biphasic
current with a rectangular pulse shape. This waveform is
commonly used as a pain management application.
Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this device, in
certain configurations, will deliver a charge of 25 microcoulombs
(µC) or greater per pulse and may be sufficient to cause
electrocution. Electrical current of this magnitude must not flow
through the thorax because it may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.

Intelect® Advanced Therapy System
TENS- Monophasic Rectangular
The Monophasic Rectangular waveform is an interrupted
unidirectional current with a rectangular pulse shape. This
waveform is commonly used with electrodiagnostic testing and
clinically to stimulate denervated muscle.
Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this device,
in certain configurations, will deliver a charge of 25
microcoulombs (µC) or greater per pulse and may be
sufficient to cause electrocution. Electrical current of this
magnitude must not flow through the thorax because it may
cause a cardiac arrhythmia.
High Voltage Pulsed Current (HVPC)
The High Voltage Pulsed Current (HVPC) has a very brief pulse
duration characterized by two distinct peaks delivered at
high voltage. The waveform is monophasic (current flows in
one direction only). The high voltage causes a decreased skin
resistance making the current comfortable and easy to tolerate.
VMS is a symmetrical biphasic waveform with a 100 µsec interphase
interval. Because the pulse is r
skin load, making it suitable for applications requiring high intensities,
such as in muscle strengthening protocols.
The Diadynamic waveforms are rectified alternating currents. The
alternating current is modified (rectified) to allow the current to
flow in one direction only.
MF: (Monophasé Fixe) - Frequency of 50 Hz: phase duration of
10 ms followed by a pause of 10 ms.
DF: (Diphasé Fixe) - Frequency of 100 Hz: phase duration of 10 ms
followed immediately by another identical phase of 10 ms.
CP: (Modulé en Courtes Périodes) - 1 second of MF followed
abruptly by 1 second of DF.
LP: (Modulé en Longues Périodes) - Rhythmical fluctuation
between 2 MF currents.
CP-iso: (Courtes Periodes Isodynamic) - A combination of MF and
DF waveforms.
CP-id: Same as CP-iso.
MF+CP: A period of MF followed by a period of CP.

IFC Premodulated (2p)
Premodulated Current is a medium frequency waveform. Current
comes out of one channel (two electrodes). The current intensity
is modulated: it increases and decreases at a regular frequency
(the Amplitude Modulation Frequency).
Russian Current is a sinusoidal waveform, delivered in bursts or
series of pulses. This method was claimed by its author (Kots)
to produce maximal muscle strengthening effects without
significant discomfort to the patient.
Microcurrent is a monophasic waveform of very low intensity.
The literature reports beneficial effects of this waveform in the
treatment of wounds. The physiological working mechanism of
this effect is as yet not clearly understood. It is thought to
stimulate tissue healing by stimulating the 'current of injury', a
current which naturally occurs in healing tissue.
VMS Burst is a symmetrical biphasic waveform delivered in a burst
format. Because the pulse is relatively short, the waveform has a
low skin load, making it suitable for applications requiring high
intensities, such as in muscle strengthening protocols.
Stimulus delivered by the TENS waveforms of this device, in certain
configurations, will deliver a charge of 25 microcoulombs (µC) or
greater per pulse and may be sufficient to cause electrocution.
Electrical current of this magnitude must not flow through the
thorax because it may cause a cardiac arrhythmia.

COMBINATION
The Intelect Advanced Therapy System Combination modality allows the user to select and use ultrasound therapy in combination with
electr
ical muscle stimulation.
Combination therapy utilizes the Ultrasound modality in conjuction with High Voltage Pulsed Current (HVPC), IFC (4p), IFC (2p), Asymmetrical
Biphasic, Symmetrical Biphasic, or VMS
TM
to generate a therapeutic effect. In this mode of therapy, the Sound Head of the Ultrasound
Applicator becomes one half of the electrical circuit. An electrode attached to the Red (+) Lead Wire completes the circuit.
Refer to pages 35 through 38 to prepare
patient, select electrode, and securing
electrodes. Refer to page 39 for Ultrasound
patient preparation.
Connect the Black (-) Lead Wire from
Channel 2 to the electrode. Make certain
the Lead Wire is completely seated in the
electrode.
The Red (+) Lead Wire is not used. The
Ultrasound Applicator completes the
