Programming the Device

Setting Treatment Parameters

Programming the Empi Continuum is designed to be intuitive. The Empi
Continuum has been engineered to guide the clinician through the
programming process. The clinician will first set up the parameters for
treatment and then proceed to restrict the user's ability to reprogram the
unit. In essence, the clinician will set up the device such that the user has
only to press one button before starting the treatment.
