    (Interferential Currents program) or continuous current (Iontophoresis Currents program). The Globus Electrostimulator is not intended for use in water, since it is not protected against infiltration. Moreover, do not use the stimulator in the presence of inflammable gas, especially oxygen for medical purposes.

    (USER key). Last 10 Executed The Globus Electrostimulator memorizes the last 10 programs carried out, so that these are avai- lable for rapid and easy execution. Registration in memory occurs automatically at the end of any program; when the memory is full, older programs are automatically deleted.

  • Page 15: 2+2 Mode (Simultaneous Stimulation)

    2+2 MODE (SIMULTANEOUS STIMULATION) The Globus Electrostimulator permits multiple treatments to be carried out at the same time. In particular, two different programs (EMS or TENS) can be run on different muscular groups of the same subject or on two different subjects. The first program runs on channels 1 and 2; the second program runs on channels 3 and 4.

    "PROGRAMMING" MENU PROGRAMMING MENU The Electrostimulator offers the possibility of creating new programs and modifying existing ones. This makes the PRO models highly flexible and adaptable to all users' requirements. From the "Programming" entry of the main menu, it is possible to create a new program (when the word EMPTY appears) and to execute already personalized programs.

  • Page 18: Intensity Of Stimulation

    INTENSITY OF STIMULATION The current intensity necessary to obtain muscular contraction is personal and depends on the position of the electrodes, the underlying adipose tissue layer, sweating, the presence of hair on the area to be treated, etc. For these reasons, the same current intensity can generate dif- ferent feelings from person to person, from day to day, and from the right side to the left side of the body.

  • Page 21: Notes On The Use Of Programmes With Microcurrents

    NOTES ON THE USE OF PROGRAMMES WITH MICRO-CURRENTS The Microcurrents programs differ from the standard EMS and TENS programs in the following manner: - While conventional electrostimulation (e.g. EMS and TENS) uses current in the milliampere- range, microcurrent electrostimulation uses currents in the microampere range that are imper- ceptible by humans.

  • Page 22: Programs List Ionophoresis

    PROGRAMS LIST- MEDICAL CURRENT - IONOPHORESIS IONTOPHORESIS Carry out the treatment of ionophoresys only on channel 1 and with the grey cables Galvanic (direct) current maintains a constant intensity over time, allowing the movement of charged particles across tissues. If the charged particles are filled with medicinal substances, then the continuous current promotes the penetration of these substances into tissues.

    For cleaning and disinfection, refer to the manufacturer's instructions. In case of deterioration of the probe electrode, replace it immediately. DIAGNOSTIC Denervated muscle The Globus Electrostimulator offers an electrodiagnostic program to calculate rheobase, chro- naxie and slope. Parameters for this program are easily defined and stored.

  • Page 26: Programs List Denervated

    Currents for partially or totally denervated muscles The stimulation of a denervated muscle differs from stimulation of a healthy one because the activation of muscular fibers needs particular currents. In presence of a traumatic lesion to the peripheral nerves, measurement of the chronaxie allows one to determine if the denervation is partial or total.
