4.1 Programmable Mode Starting Parameters:
There are 3 Programmable Modes on the BioStim® NMS
• Each of the three programmable modes has starting parameters,
however the parameters may be adjusted by the user.
• Programmable settings may be customized and saved.
(All times measured in seconds unless otherwise specified.)
Mode
1. Constant
(CONST)
Use of the Constant Mode or a Pulse Rate greater than 60Hz with a
symmetrical biphasic square waveform should be used for the
relaxation of muscle spasms only. Use of constant stimulation
and/or rates above the normal physiological range (e.g., greater
than 60Hz) could lead to rapid onset of muscle fatigue, making the
device less effective in producing repeated forceful muscle
contractions.
2. Cycled
In the CYCLED mode; both Channel 1 and Channel 2 cycle
3. Reciprocal
(RECIPR)
In the RECIPR mode, Channel 1 and Channel 2 alternate; (Channel
