1.2 GENERAL

The Curapuls 670 is a two channel microprocessor-controlled unit for pulsed shortwave
therapy, applied by means of one or two inductive electrodes (Circuplode).

In the Curapuls 670, pulse duration, pulse frequency, power and treatment duration are
adjustable. When two electrodes are used, the selected pulse frequency and treatment
duration apply to both electrodes, while the other parameters can be set separately for
each electrode.

Simple and safe operation

The various parameters are selected by means of push buttons, and are set using one
central control knob. Each parameter is shown on a LCD display, giving a good
overview of the selected parameters. This is made possible by the application of
microprocessor technology. The microprocessor controls and monitors all functions
during operation. Directly after switching on, the microprocessor automatically tests the
electronics of the Curapuls 670 for safety and correct functioning.

The Curapuls 670 menu can be set in five languages, GB, NL, D, F, E. Changing

languages can be done by pressing the “cursor left” key for approx. 2 sec. in the main
menu. Changing the language (and other default settings) is done by selecting the
option with the “cursor UP or DOWN” keys and rotating the central control.

Pre programmed treatment protocols are available. The treatment protocols are divided
in seven sub-selections. In the sub-selection a treatment can be chosen from a list of
protocols.

Enraf-Nonius B.V. Curapuls 670 Service Manual 1403773

Optimum energy transfer

Considerable attention has been paid to the way in which the high-frequency energy is
transferred to the tissue. Continuous microprocessor-controlled fine tuning ensures
optimum adaptation to the tissue characteristics. Special high-output inductive
electrodes have been developed for use with the Curapuls 670. These are of the
’Circuplode’ type, and are available in small, large and elliptic treatment areas. They
are provided with screening for the electrical field so that only a magnetic field* is
created.

* a pure angular electric/electromagnetic field
The type of electrode (large/small/elliptic) connected to each channel is recognized

automatically, eliminating the chance of incorrect settings. If the load on the electrode
is insufficient, no power will be supplied. This is indicated by a flashing LED on the
electrode. This form of power transfer indication prevents inefficient treatment, thus
contributing to optimum treatment results.
If treatment on a small part of the body (e.g. the wrist, ankle) is to be done, exact
placement of the Circuplode is of greatest importance for beneficial treatment. In some
cases treatment with a standard Circuplode will not be possible making it necessary to
connect a small Circuplode.

The Curapuls 670 has been designed and manufactured to ensure the highest level of
safety; the unit fully complies with the IEC 601 series safety standards.
