SIS MACHINE W250 MODEL OPERATING MANUAL DEVICE DESCRIPTION The SIS machine model W250 is designed for electromedical low intensity (amperage) direct current stimulation and silver iontophoresis for a surface wound or ulcer, electromedical measurement, and supplementation or replacement of endogenous wound bioelectrics, and stimulation of surface or internal tissue fibroblast and other cell modifications and transdifferentiations.

The LED is not under user control. 3.1. ELECTRODE STIMULATION EFFICIENCY (ESE) MONITORING The W250 monitors the contact of the SIS or other electrode(s) with the body, both in real-time and statistically via complex measurement, logging and assessment algorithms with self-adaptive AI aspects. The highly summarized logged ESE data are shown in the STATISTICS screen.

ROTATIONAL (+)POSITIVE ELECTRODE POSITIONING For a larger superficial wound, depending on the limitations of wound location and geometry, each time the SIS (+)Positive Electrode is replaced, it can be advantageous to re-position the (+)electrode at a different o'clock location around the wound edges, for example in the repeating sequence: 3-6-9-12 o'clock, in order to distribute stimulation evenly to the entire wound, over time.
Page 8
Cover the SIS (+)Positive Electrode with saline/sterilizing liquid-rinsed gauze or other non-adherent moisture-holding wound dressing if available. Position the SIS (-)Return Electrode onto intact skin as much as possible directly behind the center of the wound on the opposite anatomical surface of the injured body part.
Page 9
Insert the two gold metal 'banana plugs' at the ends of the electrode cable into the two white plastic connectors at the ends of the SIS electrode wires; insert the 'banana plugs' all the way in until they are no longer visible.

SIS MACHINE W250 MODEL OPERATING MANUAL NOTE: Do not tape the connections of the electrode cable to the electrode wires as doing so can cause excessive mechanical force on the cable connection to the electro-stimulator. 4.5. OPERATIONAL MODE Select WOUND operational mode. Follow on-screen alert messages.

Refer to the ELECTROTHERAPY ELECTRODE↔SKIN CONTACT section of this manual for further information. Position the SIS (+)Positive and (-)Return Electrodes on opposite sides across the wound as close as possible to the wound edges; position the (+)Positive Electrode closest to the most infected side of the wound.
Position the SIS (-)Return Electrode onto intact skin on the opposite anatomical surface of the body to the SIS (+)Positive Electrode so that the target infected organ or other anatomical structure is aligned bet ween the two SIS electrodes.

CURRENT is automatically scaled to the user-programmed surface area size of the SIS (+)Positive Electrode, as shown below and in real-time in the STIM DATA screen. The smallest electrode that can be programmed is 1.5 cm²; the maximum size of any electrode shape is 50 cm²: If a standard 4.75cm (1.87") ⌀diameter Small circular SIS electrode is used,...

6.1.6. TOTAL CIRCUIT RESISTANCE OPERATING LIMITS The total circuit resistance operating limit of the W250 for all possible user- programmed SIS (+)Positive Electrode sizes is shown in the table below; the actual measured total circuit resistance is shown in real-time in the STIM DATA screen as RES.

6.2.2. OPERATIONAL MODE Select REGEN operational mode. 6.2.3. (+)POSITIVE ELECTRODE SIZE There is no user selection of SIS (+)Positive Electrode size. The output voltage self-adaptively scales to the injured tissue's bioelectric properties. Page 15 SIS MANUFACTURING LTD, NZ. JANUARY 2019.
