7. When the programme is done amplitude automatically returns to 0
8. If required adjust the time of the programme by using timer button. Time of
predefined IFC , TENS and NMS P13�P15 programmes can be adjusted in the
range: 1min� 12hrs, ( Note: time of predefined NMS programmes P16 � P27
cannot be changed as these are multiphasic programmes).
How long do I use TENS or IFC for?
This depends on the individual patient's
condition, accuracy of electrode place�
ment, stimulation and the characteristics
selected, but typically the onset of pain
relief starts after 20 � 30 minutes. General�
ly TENS is used for longer periods of nor�
mally 1 hour 30 minutes per session. With
some patients it can be much longer.
9. Start the stimulation by setting the desired amplitude using "+ Plus" buttons.
To reduce stimulation press the " - Minus" buttons.
Note: Patients respond differently to the level of intensity, this is due to
differences in individual patient's skin resistance, enervation and the type
and condition of electrode being used.
10. You can always stop the programme by pressing
To pause the programme press ESC button which will reduce mA to 0
and freeze programme time counter, pressing ESC again will return the
programme to home screen.
Intensity Lock Out Feature
To prevent an accidental increase of the treatment amplitude (intensity),
NeuroTrac™IFC Rehab
the stimulation current is raised above zero, with no buttons activity for
greater than 10 seconds, the unit will lockout the Increase intensity buttons
(CH1+ and CH2+ for IFC or CHA+ and CHB+ for TENS/NMS).
Intensity Lock out "� Minus" button needs to be pressed
Open Circuit Detect
If the closed circuit is broken, for example if a lead wire is broken, or electrode
does not provide proper contact with the skin the current of the channels
switches off automatically which is indicated by the amplitude dropping to 0
mA and timer paused. To resume the treatment the problem needs to be cor�
rected and programme restarted by setting the amplitude. The programme
picks up where it left off.
