Page 14: Overview
Intelect® Transport 2-Channel Electrotherapy The Intelect Transport 2-Channel Electrotherapy unit, designed and manufactured by Chattanooga Group, offers a new dimension in portable electrotherapy made possible by advanced software design and digital signal processing. The result is a unit with extraordinary versatility based on simplicity of operation. - Page 15 OVERVIEW Intelect® Transport 2-Channel Electrotherapy Burst Frequency (Freq.) - This is the number of bursts per second (bps). The available burst frequencies on the Intelect Transport 2- Channel Electrotherapy unit are 20 to 100 bps. This parameter is unique to the Russian waveform. Carrier Frequency (Freq.) - Associated with the Interferential and Russian waveforms, Carrier Frequency is the frequency of the un- modulated medium frequency current.
- Page 16 OVERVIEW Intelect® Transport 2-Channel Electrotherapy Intensity - Intensity is the output of electrotherapy distributed by the unit to the patient. Depending on the waveform, intensity is measured in milliamps (mA), volts (V), and microamps (μA). Leadwires - The leadwires consist of the main plugs that are connected to the unit, and 4 leads (2 black and 2 red) that connect to electrodes.
- Page 17 OVERVIEW Intelect® Transport 2-Channel Electrotherapy Waveforms - Waveforms are current or voltage that is varied by time and are the geometrical descriptions of a DC, AC, or pulsed DC/AC current. Current waveforms are described as either monophasic or biphasic. A biphasic wave is further described as either symmetrical or asymmetrical and as balanced or unbalanced.
