Active Probe: To deliver the current to the patient through the active MultiStim probe, first set up the probe treatment and
press Start. Hold the probe as you would hold a pencil and press the ON/OFF button on the probe to start delivery of the
current. The active probe should touch the patient’s skin at the treatment site and the ground probe should touch the patient’s
skin elsewhere near the treatment site. This completes the circuit and delivers current to the patient. Do not hold the ON/
OFF button down. Once the button has been pressed and released, the current is delivered until the button is pressed and
released again to stop the current. The unit beeps once when the button is pressed to start the current, and beeps twice when
you press the button to stop the current.
During a treatment, observe conductance by listening to the audio tone. Also, the CONDUCTANCE BAR GRAPH will
indicate the conductance between patient skin and probe tip, allowing for an optimum treatment.
While delivering current, the treatment timer counts up in seconds from zero. When the current is stopped, the timer returns
to zero. Press the ON/OFF button again to commence the next treatment cycle. Continue in this way until treatment is
completed.
Ground Probe: The optional ground probe is used to complete the circuit, allowing current to flow through patient’s tissue.
The ground probe should touch the patient’s skin at any location away from the treatment point.
Ground Electrode: As an alternative, a dispersive electrode may be used. A hand-held ground probe is not needed when
using a ground electrode. This is particularly convenient when treating in several different places around one point.
Unplug the ground probe from its cable, attach a banana to pin adapter to the cable, then attach an electrode to the pin. Place
the electrode on the patient at a site where it will not interfere with placement of the active probe during treatment.
Test Mode: Press and release the MultiStim Probe ON/OFF button again to stop delivery of the current. The unit beeps twice
to let you know current delivery has stopped. The probe is now in “TEST” mode allowing you to continue monitoring
conductance at any point desired. When the probe touches the patient’s skin, conductance continues to be measured and the
audio tone is produced. Press and release the button when you wish to return to the Treatment mode.
NOTE: In “TEST” mode during a Microcurrent treatment, a small amount of current is delivered to allow an
impedance reading to be taken in order to show conductance. The current delivered during “TEST” mode is either
25 micro amperes or the micro amperage setting for the treatment itself, whichever is less. For purposes of this
measurement, current is delivered in pulses of approximately 20 mSec.
