4096 – 32768 Hz. The therapy frequency is scanned with a defined frequency. This method is called SimulFAM which stands for Simultaneous Frequency Amplitude Modulation. In the following, the basic method is divided into two different ones. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
(10) Press the button “Continue” to accept the intensity at 16384 Hz. ® (11) The bar display SimulFAM i shows the frequency scan. (12) A special tone marks the end of the treatment time. (13) The current to the patient will decrease automatically. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
(7) In case of a frequency scan the current stimulation frequency is shown. The frequency values increase and decrease every second. (8) A special tone marks the end of the treatment time. (9) The current to the patient will decrease automatically. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
4 touch with the mains cable to a socket with protective ground. The protective ground must work correctly. The HiToP 4 touch is switched on by the main switch on the back of the device. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
Figure 1: Back view of the device stick 2.3 Placing out of operation In order to disconnect the device just disconnect it from the mains power supply. No other measures are to be taken. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
Every button is clearly labeled. Optically, the user can differentiate operating buttons from non-operating buttons. In case of doubt the user can obtain further information via the direct help system. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
Note! In the event that the intensity is set to 5000 mW while turning the button, the unit initiates a counterforce to the knob to signal to the user that the limit is reached. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
Available buttons are indicated in light grey. Unavailable buttons are indicated in dark grey. If you push an unavailable button, information about the use of this button is shown on the screen automatically. direct help window Figure 3: Direct help menu as shown on the display gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
3. Generally, please observe the notice regarding the electrode positioning (see chapter 5.3). We at gbo Medizintechnik AG expanded the device software by a special intensity monitoring routine in order to get the application problems mentioned under control. This safety circuit avoids an unintended high change in the intensity of current and switches off the respective channel in such a case.
The Intensity monitoring remains deactivated for a channel until it is modified manually into “on“ by pressing the button “Intensity monitoring”. Upon each restart of the device the Intensity monitoring is automatically activated. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
A new language version may be loaded. A software update may easily be installed in this sub-menu. A USB stick is used for the transfer of the data. The USB stick must be placed in the back side of the unit. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
“sound” a flyout will open up. Now you can switch on the tone and also the volume may be adjusted in this flyout. NOTE The activated sound is indicated by a blue bar within the button. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...

The user can recall typically used therapies with only one touch. Additional therapies can either be recalled according to a patient’s name, i.e. via log book, or by referring to indications or the name of the therapy. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
Setting SimulFAM X If the current form SimulFAM X is selected, the frequencies are run through faster. The frequency run can be set between 01 Hz up to 200 Hz. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
4.4.1 Compilation of new patient If you choose the button “patient“ and then the button “new“ you get to the virtual keyboard for the compilation of a new patient. Mandatory are the first name, last gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
The therapy conducted last may easily be applied by pressing the button “Accept all”. I.e. all therapy parameters of the last therapy are accepted. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
Press the electrodes together. Select SimulFAM i on the device and increase the current with the intensity controller. The displayed resistance (R =) should not exceed 300 Ohm. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
Yet, the use of adhesive electrodes might be necessary for special applications (e.g.: in the face). The therapist must then take special care and monitor that the adhesive electrodes are used correctly and do not heat up. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
Otherwise, flush or even burns may show. During the therapy the patient must take off jewelry and eyeglasses. Note! A current density of over 2 mA/cm on all electrode surfaces requires increased attention of the operator. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
This note is only applicable for current circuits overlapping in a significantly large area. As a matter of cause local therapies of small body regions, e.g. the knee, conducted during a whole-body treatment are not concerned. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
The device must be returned to the manufacturer for disposal. The manufacturer is committed to guarantee the disposal of all devices marketed. This is also indicated by the WEEE sign (crossed out waste container). gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
Note! The conductivity of the electrodes is optimized by the use of a certain amount of graphite. Consequently, when using and cleaning the electrodes, black color may come off. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
We recommend Bacillol-AF for the disinfection of the electrodes. Note! The conductivity of the electrodes is optimized by the use of a certain amount of graphite. Consequently, when using and disinfecting the electrodes, black color may come off. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
In case of a short circuit the lithium battery contained in the device can explode. Only service staff should change the battery. In case of any visible failure contact gbo Medizintechnik AG or one of the service agencies authorized by gbo Medizintechnik AG immediately.
The above list is not exhaustive. In individual cases the attending doctor should decide on contraindications and criteria for the treatment. Note! Patients with varicose veins, metallic implants and endoprotheses may ® be treated with HiToP Therapy. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
This product complies with WEEE Directive 2002/96/EG (waste electrical and electronic equipment). Separate collection for electrical and electronic equipment. The waste removal at the end of the service life will be done by the manufacturer. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
± 10 % By request of technical personnel gbo Medizintechnik AG can offer spare part lists and circuit diagrams. The mains switch is used for all-pin disconnection from the mains power supply. The exchange of the battery is described in the service manual.
The maximum power per channel is limited to 5000 mW. This correlates with the demands of the standard 60601-2-10 which describes a limitation of 100 mA at 500 . The valid impedance ranges from 30 to 1500 . gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.3...
