OPERATION
Intelect® Legend Series Combo
Pain Management The management of post-traumatic, post-operative or chronic intractable pain associated with many areas of the body can be a difficult task. The ntelect Legend Series Combo provides multiple waveforms and many parameter settings to manage pain. Two waveforms are available for Pain Management therapy: Interferential and Premodulated.
Interferential The Interferential waveform consists of two channels, each with a sinusoidal waveform; one of fixed frequency and one of variable frequency. When the four electrodes are positioned so that the two channels cross each other, the two waveforms mix within the tissue to produce a train of pulses whose frequencies and amplitude are dependent on the sweep mode, beat frequency and amplitude settings, respectively. Press the Interferential button to select this waveform. Ch. Select controls the method for setting amplitude. The Both Channels mode changes intensity equally. The Channel 1 option changes ONLY channel one and the Channel 2 option ONLY changes channel two. This is helpful when you need to balance the output between channels. When you highlight Amplitude Modulation and press the enter button, 3 options are displayed. They are 40% Scan (default), 100% Scan and Static (no scan). Scan Percentage is the percentage of decrease from the maximum amplitude. Scan is amplitude modulation, expressed as a percentage of the amplitude. The rhythmical varying of the amplitude of each channel produces the perceived movement of the Interferential field.
