4. About electrical nerve and muscle
stimulation
Mollii generates 2 milliamp pulses (into 0-10,000 Ohms) with the following param-
eters:
• Pulse width: variable between 25 and 170 µs
• Length of period: 50 ms
• Maximum amplitude: 20 V
Each Mollii suit is customized when it is prescribed. Depending on diagnosis and
manual examination of the patient, the prescriber decides which muscles are to be
stimulated and with which pulse parameter setting. The user cannot change param-
eter settings and/or which muscles are to be stimulated.
On every start and continuation from pause mode, the pulse width is increased by
up to 5 µs every 5 seconds from 25 µs until the preset pulse width is reached.
