6 Simultaneous Therapy
Simultaneous therapy means the simultaneous treatment with ultrasound and
stimulation current. The ultrasonic transducer is one pole of the stimulation current
circuit, a plate electrode the other one.

It is advisable to use a plate electrode of minimum size EF50 as neutral electrode.
The neutral electrode is plugged into the socket No.1 (anode of circuit I) of the pa-
tient lead (page 6).
Make sure that there is enough space between the plate electrode and the trans-
ducer. If there is too little room, an error might be issued.
To ensure a stable contact for both stimulation and ultrasound therapy you must
use an (electrically) conductive ultrasound gel.
Warning Make sure you constantly keep moving the transducer on the skin of
the patient (dynamic treatment)! Avoid using the transducer at one
spot for a longer time (static treatment); this form of treatment might
lead to damages on the patient's tissue!
If the transducer is lifted during treatment, the stimulation current will

automatically be reduced to 0; it males sure that both therapy modes -
ultrasound and stimulation current - are always applied simultane-
ously. As soon as the transducer is put on again the stimulation cur-
rent will also rise again automatically.
When connecting an ultrasound unit for simultaneous therapy, it is
Note
not possible to connect a vacuum unit at the same time. Therefore,
stimulation current can only be applied with plate electrodes when
choosing the simultaneous therapy option with
7 Indications Menu
Apart from direct access to the individual current modes, the indications menu of-
fers you another possibility to start the individual methods of treatment. With the
indications menu, you may utilise proven methods of treatment within stimulation
current or ultrasound therapy.
Proceed as follows to start a treatment with stimulation current via the indications
menu:
(1) Select the function
(2) Select the desired indication from the indications menu.
Treatments with stimulation current do not contain the abbreviation (US), e.g.
