Combination Therapy Setup - Dynatronics Dynatron 850 Plus Service Manual

Combination Therapy Setup

In order to set up a combo treatment, you must be familiar with setup instructions for both the
electrotherapy modality to be used and ultrasound as explained earlier in this manual. Also
remember:
•

Since ultrasound and stim share the Time and Power-Intensity displays during a
combination treatment, you will need to observe the indicator lights when setting up or
changing treatment parameters. You may toggle between the stim and sound channel
using the channel toggle key.
You may set up either the ultrasound or the stim treatment first. The Channel Toggle key
allows you to switch between channels to select the treatment type to be set up first.
When the Sound indicator light is green, you can set up ultrasound parameters. When the
stim channel light is green, you can set up the electrotherapy parameters. The treatment
timer does not begin until you press Start after both modalities have been set up.
1. Press the SOUND/COMBO key twice to select COMBO. If desired, you may now set up
the Sound portion of the treatment. Then toggle to the stim channel by pressing START
or the channel toggle key; or press the appropriate key to select the desired electrotherapy
modality (Premod, Biphasic, Russian, High Volt, or Microcurrent). The front panel of
the device shows the following default selections:

modality chosen. Apply the stim electrode to the patient now. Apply conductive gel to
the ultrasound treatment site now.
Set up Biphasic, Russian, Premod, High Volt or Microcurrent:
1. The stim channel light must be green before setting up the stim treatment. Press the
Channel Toggle key, if needed, to select the stim channel. (NOTE: Combination with
microcurrent requires Channel 1 to be used.)
2. If the modality you wish to use is not already selected (Premod, Russian, Biphasic, High
Volt, or Microcurrent) press that modality key now. When a modality key is pressed, the
LED on that key is lighted while the COMBO LED remains lighted as well. Again, make

When a channel's LED is green, the treatment parameters for that output are
displayed. Any changes you make to the parameters will affect that channel only.
When an indicator light is yellow, the channel is active, but its parameters are not
being displayed and may not be modified at this time. You must first press the
channel toggle key (CH) to select the channel—its light will then become green and
modifications are allowed.
The COMBO LED is lit.
The selected modality key is lit.
The first available channel for the stim therapy chosen is indicated by a GREEN

The TIME display shows 5 minutes (or other time if you have changed this default).
