Frequently asked questions
What important safety features are included?
The Amrex SynchroSonic US/54 is equipped with multiple professional-grade safety features to protect both the patient and the equipment:
- Patient Treatment Stop Switch: A critical feature that allows the patient to immediately and safely discontinue the electrical stimulator output, ensuring maximum comfort and control.
- Cable Fault Alarm System: For the ultrasound component, this system actively monitors the transducer connection and cable integrity. It triggers an automatic safety shutdown if it detects improper connection or cable damage.
- Intensity Reset Circuit: Included in the low volt muscle stimulator to provide operational protection and safety control.
- Transducer Protection Switch: A dedicated safeguard to protect the sensitive ultrasound transducer during operation.
Is a comprehensive accessory kit included?
Yes, the Amrex SynchroSonic US/54 ships with a comprehensive accessory kit, ensuring immediate usability for both ultrasound and electrical muscle stimulation treatments. This allows practitioners to begin combination therapy routines immediately.
The essential components included are:
- Ultrasound & Conductance:
- The required Ultrasound Transducer (the specific type depends on the configuration purchased).
- Bottle of Conductance and Coupling Gel (#02-OCG-01).
- Bottle of Flextrode Conductive Spray (#02-OCS-01).
- Electrical Stimulation Supplies:
- (4) 4-inch Flextrode Pads (#02-F104) and (20) 4-inch Flextrode Covers (#02-FC104).
- (1) 3.5” x 7” Sponge Pad Electrode (#02-A105).
- A complete set of Patient Leads (Dual Retractable, Black, and White).
- Safety and Support:
- Patient Treatment Stop Switch (#23-PIS), which enables the patient to immediately cease stimulator output.
- Retention Straps: (2) 22-inch and (2) 42-inch straps.
- Hospital Grade Power Cord (#27-PCH).
Can the transducer be used underwater?
Yes, the transducer included with the Amrex SynchroSonic US/54 is sealed for underwater therapy, expanding its treatment applications.
What advanced safety features does the US/54 include?
The Amrex SynchroSonic US/54 is engineered with multiple critical safety features to ensure reliable professional use and patient well-being, especially during combination therapy.
Key safety components include:
- Patient Treatment Stop Switch: A dedicated control that allows the patient to instantly and safely discontinue the electrical muscle stimulator output when pressed.
- Cable Fault Alarm System: This advanced ultrasound safety feature actively monitors the transducer connection, initiating a safety shutdown if an improper connection or cable damage is detected.
- Sealed Transducer and Protection Switch: The ergonomic transducer is sealed, allowing for safe underwater therapy, and includes an internal transducer protection switch.
- Intensity Reset Circuit: The electrical stimulator section incorporates this circuit to maintain stable and safe output levels.
Additionally, the device is CSA Approved, confirming compliance with rigorous safety and performance standards for professional medical equipment.
Does the US/54 offer advanced combination therapy?
Yes, the Amrex SynchroSonic US/54 is specifically engineered for advanced combination therapy, allowing for the simultaneous application of two powerful modalities:
- Therapeutic Ultrasound: Delivers thermal effects using a high-quality Barium-titanate crystal transducer operating at 1.0 MHz. The transducer is sealed, making it suitable for underwater therapy.
- Low Volt Muscle Stimulation: Provides analgesic and muscle recruitment benefits through a dual-channel, four-pad stimulator.
This capability allows practitioners to leverage the synergistic effects of both deep heating (ultrasound) and muscle stimulation (analgesic effects) for comprehensive treatment.
What is the maximum charge per pulse?
The Amrex SynchroSonic US/54 stimulator provides a professional-grade electrical output for muscle therapy. The key specification for output intensity is:
- The maximum charge per pulse is 56 µC (microcoulombs) when measured into a 100 Ω load.
This dual-channel stimulator operates using an asymmetrical alternating current (no load) waveform and provides a frequency range of 1 to 80 pulses per second. Other electrical specifications include:
- Pulse Width: 200 µs at 50% V maximum.
- Peak Output Voltage: 110 V peak (into a 1 kΩ load).
Additionally, the stimulator offers specialized controls like Tetanize mode and adjustable ramped surge and reciprocal modes for highly versatile treatment protocols.
Can I use ultrasound and stimulation modes separately?
Yes, the Amrex SynchroSonic US/54 offers excellent flexibility. You can use the therapeutic ultrasound and the low volt muscle stimulation modalities independently or utilize them simultaneously for SynchroSonic combination therapy.
Is this device suitable for professional use?
Yes, the Amrex SynchroSonic US/54 is specifically designed for professional use in settings like physical therapy clinics and rehabilitation centers. It requires a prescription for patients.
Does the stimulator have a wide frequency range?
Yes, the electrical stimulator features a versatile frequency range, adjustable from 1 to 80 pulses per second. This broad range supports various stimulation protocols, including Tetanize, pulsation, ramped surge, and reciprocal modes, allowing practitioners to customize treatments effectively.
What are the electrical power requirements?
The Amrex SynchroSonic US/54 is designed for professional use and operates on standard North American power. It is supplied with a Hospital Grade Power Cord to ensure safety and compliance in clinical settings. The unit is also CSA Approved.
Key electrical specifications are:
- Line Voltage: 120 VAC, 60 Hz
- Current Draw: 1.0 A
- Line Leakage: Less than 50 µA (adhering to strict clinical safety standards)
