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 1.2...
® frequency is shown on the SimulFAM i graph. (12) A special tone marks the end of the treatment time. (13) The current to the patient will decrease automatically. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.2...
On delivery, the two feet for placing the appliance are kept into the corresponding holes. The feet are held by magnets. Remove the two feet and screw them clockwise into the holes provided on the bottom of the device. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.2...

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 circuit in such a case.
“Intensity monitoring” will be grey. The Intensity monitoring remains deactivated 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 1.2...
In this selection all pre-defined and all user-defined programs are filed. The selection is made from a list which is filtered. Thus, only pre-defined or user-defined currents can be displayed from the appropriate list and then selected. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.2...
If the current form SimulFAM i is selected with its frequencies of 4096 and 16384, the current intensity must be such that the patient feels a light tingling only. It is the aim of this setting to emit the maximum output during therapy. The high tone gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.2...
Now the patient will show a stimulation of the muscle. Please choose a current intensity which turns the therapy well tolerable to the patient. Note! Therapy time can be modified during the treatment. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.2...
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 1.2...
Consequently it might be possible that the adhesive electrodes get warm during the therapy and even heat up to a temperature that causes burns with the patient. To avoid such situations gbo removed the adhesive electrodes from the standard ®...
During the therapy the patient must take off jewelry and eyeglasses. Note! A current density of more than 2 mA/cm on all electrode surfaces requires increased attention of the operator. gbo Medizintechnik AG Version 1.2...

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 1.2...
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 1.2...
If it is used in dangerous areas of anesthesia departments, the possibility of an explosion cannot be excluded. 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 1.2...
This product complies with WEEE Directive 2002/96/EG (waste electrical 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 1.2...
± 10 % accuracy By request of technical personnel gbo Medizintechnik AG can offer spare part lists and circuit diagrams. The appliance inlet is used for all pin disconnection from the mains. gbo Medizintechnik AG reserves the right to modify design and specifications without prior notice.
The maximum power 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 1.2...
