Section 1: Introduction
1.1 Introduction to the Sys*Stim 226
Thank you for purchasing the Sys*Stim 226 neuromuscular stimulator from Mettler
Electronics Corp. The microprocessor controlled Sys*Stim 226 provides interferential,
premodulated, medium frequency and symmetrical biphasic waveforms with enhanced
reliability and ease of use.
The two–channel Sys*Stim 226 allows you to utilize two different waveforms using two
different treatment timers simultaneously. You can choose between several different
amplitude modulation options such as the surge, reciprocation and amplitude modulation
(interferential only, vector rotation). The interferential and premodulated modes offer
frequency modulation as well as a fixed frequency.
The membrane panel provides one touch entry for treatment parameters. An audible tone
provides you with further reinforcement that you have made a selection. LED’s guide you
through the easy setup routine.
Use the lightweight and portable Sys*Stim 226 in home health as well as in the clinic.
Teamed up with a Mettler Electronics Sonicator, the Sys*Stim 226 can provide combination
therapy. Add the optional treatment cart along with a Sonicator®therapeutic ultrasound to
create a mobile treatment center in your office.
