Direct Current
Instructions
Direct Current flows in one direction. From a practical perspective, Direct Current can be defined as having a pulse duration
long enough to depolarize skeletal muscle when the nerve is not intact. On the Solaris Plus line of devices, Direct Current is
a square wave interrupted with a set interpulse duration of 500 mSec. The interrupted treatment is delivered in a continuous
train of 0.1 mSec to 500 mSec pulses set at a maximum of 20 mA. Duration, Intensity, and Polarity settings may be adjusted
separately, if desired. The Polarity may be set at Positive or Negative. Treatment is provided only through the optional
MultiStim probe. The use of various attachments and a dispersive electrode are necessary. The MultiStim probe utilizes the
Stim Probe output jack located on the right-side of the Solaris Plus device. ON/OFF controls and INTENSITY keys (+/-) for
the MultiStim probe are located on the handle. Direct Current is not available on the 707.
