8 Circuplodes

Three different types of electrodes are available for the Curapuls 670.
With the Circuplode diam. 140 mm a high in-depth radiation in small regions can be achieved. It is the
most universal and therefore the most used emitter.
The Circuplode diam. 90 mm is perfectly suited for treatment of small joints (e.g. the wrist joint) and in
children's physiotherapy.
The Circuplode-E (ellipse-shaped Circuplode) is especially for treatment of larger parts of the body, such
as the hip joint and large oblong muscles.
The Circuplode-E can generate a frequency of 800 Hz. Ideal for thermal treatment.
With most pre-programmed treatment protocols an advice is given regarding the best suited Circuplode
for the selected pathology.
With these electrodes a towel should be placed between the skin and the electrode, after clearing the
area to be treated.

9 Operation

In the Curapuls 670, pulse duration, pulse frequency, power and treatment duration are adjustable. When
two electrodes are used, the selected pulse frequency and treatment duration apply to both electrodes,
while the other parameters can be set separately for each electrode.
Connect the necessary electrodes and switch the equipment on by means of the on/of switch. After
switching on and performing the self test of the Curapuls 670, the information screen appears stating the
software and language version.
After a few seconds the main menu appears with the following possibilities:
•
