High Volt Instructions; Set Up High Volt Treatment With Electrodes - Dynatronics Dynatron 850 Plus Service Manual

Table of Contents

• NEVER turn the power on or off while the unit is connected to the patient.

• Always give the Remote Stop device to the patient prior to the treatment.

• Always STOP a treatment before removing or attaching electrodes or leads. Leads and

electrodes must only be applied to the patient before a treatment is started.

• Never use worn or damaged leads or electrodes as these may result in injury to the

patient.

• See "Contraindications, Warnings, and Precautions" in this manual before administering a

treatment to a patient.

High volt electrical stimulation is a pulsed DC current with pulse widths in the microsecond

range and pulse rates ranging from 1 to 200 Hz, with a peak amplitude of up to 1.0 amp. The

Dynatron 850plus and 550plus deliver high volt utilizing a twin-peak monophasic waveform.

High volt treatments with the Dynatron

550plus and 850plus may be delivered using

electrodes or an optional hand-held probe.

The device provides a dedicated channel for

high volt treatment (HV). This channel is

used to deliver high volt treatments only.

The device's other output channels (CH1-2)

remain available for other stim treatments

simultaneously with the high volt treatment.

Set Up High Volt Treatment with

Electrodes

This treatment setup utilizes a double-output

lead with two electrodes; an active and a

dispersive electrode. The size of the dispersive electrode is recommended to be double the

area of the active electrode. If desired, the active output of the lead may be bifurcated to

attach additional active electrodes; however, the combined total area of the active electrodes

should be no more than half the area of the single passive electrode. These setups are

illustrated on this page and the following page.
