21. Current Limit The Dynatron 950plus and 650plus continuously measure the actual current output during a treatment and limit the output current to the level indicated in Technical Information in this manual As you increase the intensity of a treatment you also increase current output If you reach the maximum current limit the device issues a warning described below This warning is to alert you to the fact that you may have set the treatment intensity too high and to prevent the possibility of patient discomfort caused by too high current output Current Limit Warning When you reach the maximum output current limit the device will Immediately stop increasing the intensity and automatically reduce the intensity a few increments Beep several times Flash the intensity display Contraindications Warnings Precautions 93 Dynatrone 950plus amp 650plus You should rarely if ever encounter the current limit warning during a patient treatment as reaching the current limit would often require an intensity setting that is uncomfortable and intolerable to most patients For patient safety and comfort you must address this warning before continuing with the treatment Consider the following possible causes for example e The patient is unable to adequately feel the current and is unable therefore to report discomfort at the high intensity level e When using four very large electrodes for a treatment current is disperse

The Dynatron 950plus and 650plus employ a unique patented method which actually moves the center of interference With Target the voltage output from both channels remains equal at all times so wherever the treatment is applied a full deep interferential beat occurs Other devices attempt to achieve this effect by increasing the current from one channel while decreasing the current from the other channel This method only rotates the cloverleaf shaped area but the center of interference does not move In addition the depth of the beat is reduced 1 Other devices increase current at one channel while decreasing it at the other This merely rotates the treatment The center of interference does not move General Information IFC amp PREMOD 71 Dynatrone 950plus amp 650plus Sweep You can use the Sweep Target Sweep feature to bathe a wider area with the interferential current up to 80 percent of the area within the electrodes may be covered The Sweep feature utilizes the patented Target feature and moves the point of interference to cover a wider treatment area while still retaining the full interferential beat The Sweep option literally moves the point of interference inward and outward in a somewhat spiral pattern as shown in the illustration to the right bathing about 80 percent of the area within the electrodes with the interferential current Interferential Electrode Placement Channel Channel 1
