    Therefore its output voltage, current, and power are dependent upon the load as well as the pulse width and frequency of the output waveform. The maximum peak voltage that the M-Wave can produce is 100 V (1000 Ω load).
  • Page 23 Therefore, the displayed mA value on the M-wave device is in reference to expected mA assuming a 1000 Ω load. The maximum output power that the M-Wave can produce is 0.6 W per channel into a 1000 Ω load, 1.2W total.
  • Page 24 M-Wave Warnings Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) Warnings (Continued)  Stimulation should not be applied over the neck or mouth. Severe spasm of the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur and the contractions may be strong enough to close the airway or cause difficulty in breathing.
