5.4.2. Protocols
A protocol consists of one or more treatment steps that are sequentially executed. Each treatment step
has its own current waveform, parameter settings and treatment time. The protocols are categorised in
clusters according to their application. Protocols are identified as follows:
1:1
the first number is the cluster number
1:1
the second number is the protocol number
The Endomed 482 provides a number of pre-programmed protocols, that are available at cluster 2 and
higher. Each cluster is intended for a specific indication. In the therapy guide that is supplied with the
apparatus you will find a survey of all clusters and the corresponding protocols. Additionally the Endomed
482 supports user-defined protocols, for which cluster 1 has been reserved.
Electrotherapy protocols can constitute either single or dual channel applications. Prior to loading a single
channel protocol, first the target channel must be specified. In this case it is also allowed to link the
current channels, causing the protocol to be executed on both channels. When a single channel protocol
is being executed, a completely different single channel protocol can be executed at the other channel. Of
course dual channel protocols can only be loaded when the current channels are linked.
5.4.1.1 Loading a protocol
•
Select a target channel, using button [7] and the central controller [16];
•
Push button [15],
•
Select a protocol number in the range of 1:1 and higher with the central controller [16]. The display
shows the total treatment time of the selected protocol;
•
Push button [14] to load the selected protocol;
•
Adjust the current intensity with controller [17];
•
Push button [14] to start the therapy in case a surge program was selected.
When a protocol is executed, the display shows the remaining treatment time of the running treatment
step. Each treatment step is terminated with a short beep. When the end of the protocol has been
reached, a standard "end-of-treatment" beep is given, after which the apparatus will exit the protocol
mode.
Notes:
•
To indicate the protocol mode the protocol number remains visible on the display once a protocol has
been loaded. Following the protocol number, the treatment step number is shown, accompanied by its
icon
.
•
To remove a loaded but not yet executing protocol, push button [14] again. By waiting a moment, or by
pushing any other button than [14] or [15], the apparatus will exit the protocol mode.
•
All parameters of a loaded protocol can be changed at will. Select
treatment step number with the central controller [16]. All parameters of the now selected treatment
step can be changed. Do not forget to reset the treatment step number to 1.
•
A loaded protocol can be executed starting from any treatment step. Select
select the treatment step number with the central controller [16].
•
The execution of a treatment step can be terminated by advancing the treatment step number. Select
with button [11] and select the new treatment step number with the central controller [16]. The
current will decay to zero. You can resume the execution of the protocol from the new treatment step
by adjusting the current intensity with controller [17].
•
The execution of a protocol can be terminated, by setting the treatment time of the running treatment
step to zero. The apparatus will then exit the protocol mode.
5.4.1.2 Storing a protocol
Prior to the execution of a modified protocol, it can be saved for later use in cluster 1:
•
Push button [15] twice.
•
Select a protocol number in the range of 1:1 - 1:9 with the central controller [16]. The display shows
the total treatment time of the protocol to be stored;
•
Push button [14] to execute the store operation.
5.4.1.3 Creating a user defined protocol
In cluster 1 you can create your own protocols. A maximum of 10 protocols can be stored, each with a
maximum length of 20 treatment steps. Before you proceed with the steps below, first make sure that the
apparatus is not in protocol mode (see section 5.4.2.1. how to exit protocol mode):
•
Push button [15] twice.
•
Select a protocol number in the range of 1:1 - 1:9 with the central controller [16];
•
Push button [14].
•
Set all parameters of the current treatment step;
is blinking;
is blinking;
is blinking;
is blinking,
is visible and the treatment step number is set to 1.
