Neuro-Train III - 4 Channel, Dual Unit, IFC / Russian / A.C. Pulses Stimulator

 

Dual Timer / Patient  Multi-Output Stimulator Unit

Each section functions as its own 2ch unit

   
 

 

 

Features:

  • 4 output types: IFC, Bi-polar IFC, Russian Stimulation (Medium Frequency), and Bi-polar D.C. Pulses.

  • Optional Tri-Heterodyne IFC Output.

  • Menu driven interface, guides operator through patient setup showing only the parameters required.

  • True patient output meters allow for accurate channel balancing and repeatable patient setup.

  • Patient output current monitoring system - stops the treatment if there is a rise in patient output levels during treatment due to pad to skin contact levels changing.  LCD displays a "Pad Contact" error to allow the operator to adjust/check the pad placement and skin contact.

  • Provides a nice balance between technology and ease of operator usage.

  • 4 Channels of stimulation with separate intensity controls for each channel.

  • Dual unit, each side is independent of each other.  Design allows for two patient or two site use.

  • Easy to use front panel.  LED Back lit-high contrast, LCD display makes setup and use, quick and simple.

  • 20 programmable pre-sets for each section.

  • Great all around stimulator for busy Chiropractor and Physio offices as well as sports injury and muscle rehabilitation clinics.

  • Small footprint.  Fits anywhere you need it, in the office or on the field.

  • Compatible for Combination Therapy.

Tri-Heterodyne Stimulation Defined:

With conventional Interferential Current Therapy we rely on 4 electrodes producing 2 Medium Frequency Fields which interact with each other. By fixing one of the medium frequency fields at a constant frequency of 4000 Hertz, and varying the other medium frequency field by up to 1000 Hz above the preset field, we then produce a BEAT FREQUENCY. This process is called Heterodyning and is common to most interferential current therapy devices.

Since IFC use is so widespread, several practitioners realized that certain conditions are best treated in a BIPOLAR, or 2-pad (or 2-field) placement. Some manufacturers then advanced by producing a BIPOLAR setting which is internally pre-modulated within the machine itself, which pre-mixes or pre-heterodynes the stimuli to produce a medium frequency field that is amplitude modulated at the BEAT FREQUENCY rate, thus making it possible to still deliver an Interferential current which can overcome skin resistance and yet not depend on 2 crossing fields for production of the Beat Frequency.

Now, TRI-HETERODYNE STIMULATION enables the Practitioner to not only use this 2-field treatment (bipolar) for 2 electrodes, but for 4. We now have the advantage of delivering stimuli to two independent sites which are independently controlled.

Since Bipolar stimulation tends to be more superficial in nature, the concept of interference within the subcutaneous regions may, in certain cases, be more beneficial. Therefore, we now provide 2 BIPOLAR IFC CHANNELS that are pre-modulated within the stimulator but with one very significant difference - the medium frequency carrier wave within the modulation envelope differ by the beat frequency. Thus, by crossing the 2 bipolar circuits, we are now able to produce QUAD POLAR (deep penetration) effects from BIPOLAR (surface stimulation) applications.

Based on this new technology, we are now capable of delivering both surface and sub-surface stimulation throughout a larger treatment filed. Since bone, fat and muscle conduct electrical current to different degrees, we sometimes cannot rely on treating the regions which need 100% stimuli, even with vectors. Preliminary studies indicate that with TRI-HETERODYNE we may hypothetically experience true full-field interference for total stimuli.
