1.1 INTENDED USE
The Quantron Resonance System is the result of more than 20 years of fundamental research by leading
international scientists. A qualitative breakthrough has been achieved with this system in the domain
of magnetic field therapy, placing this therapy on a sound scientific basis, which will ensure its place in
medicine.
The Quantron Resonance System, in short QRS®, serves for pain therapy and has proven successful in many
indications even without further pharmaceutical therapies.
It supports both cell revitalization and cell metabolism by targeted ion transport. The whole metabolism is
activated, the immune system stabilised and cell regeneration improved, thereby strengthening weakened
body functions in a natural way.
According to intense international investigation and users‘ journals no harmful side effects could be located
to date (since 1993 about 200,000 devices of QRS patent have been field-tested).
The method is internationally patented (patent no. EP 0594 655).
Through the applicators the control unit QRS®-101 and QRS®-101 P create a low frequency, variable, vibrant
magnetic field of the body’s frequency pattern with a precisely defined wave shape. The intensity/frequency
is adapted according to the vital parameters and specific to the biological frames of the cell structures to be
treated as indicated. Since the individual electromagnetic hypersensitivity varies depending on the patient’s
health and his blood’s acidity, the magnetic field intensity may be altered to achieve the ideal effect. The
magnetic field intensity must be explicitly chosen via operation.
QRS®-101 and QRS®-101 P work with field strengths up to 40 micro Tesla and therefore well below the WHO
limit or so-called geomagnetic earth radiation. For comparison:
Highest QRS®-101 / QRS®-101 P intensity 40 µT
Terrestrial magnetic field 50 µT
WHO limit 100 µT
On this scale the therapy‘s intensity may be adapted to the current patient’s state of health manually.
The treatment time can be perfectly adapted to each person’s individual needs. After an individually set time
(1-60 minutes) the control unit automatically switches the magnetic field off.
The positive physiological effects which are started through the use of the QRS®magnetic field usually take
place within 8 hours (healthy organism). The regular recommendation is a treatment in the morning, in the
midday and in the evening.
The QRS®-101 is a „Home Device“. With this device it is possible to carry out therapies with the Basis, Vital
and Relaxed programmes without a chip card. Moreover, a chip card created at the doctor‘s surgery can be
used as an electronic prescription (section 3.3).
The QRS®-101 P is the P device. With this device only chip card operation is possible (section 3.3). It can be
used at the surgery as an additional therapy device.

12
power inlet fuse carrier applicator B applicator A
QRS®-101
and QRS®-101 P are mobile, mains-powered appliances that shall not be moved during intended
operation. Any location on a level surface is suitable. The devices should not be placed in front of a heater
or radiator (leave approx. 1 m clearance). There are no further requirements concerning wall distance or
ventilation.
The device meets the requirements DIN/VDE 0750, EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-2 and belongs to the protection
class I. It is part of class IIa within the scope of the Medical Device Directive.
!ATTENTION
The unit is not designed to be operated in places with the inherent risk of explosions. If it is
used in dangerous areas of anaesthesia departments, the possibility of an explosion cannot
be excluded.
!ATTENTION
In order to prevent the risk of electric shock, the unit must be connected only to a supply
network with protective conductor.
If the patient and/or an applicator(-cable) is directly exposed to a radiator of a medical device for high
frequency heat therapy, the damage of the device or danger to the patient cannot be excluded. As a rule, a
distance of 3 m is sufficient.
2.2 POWER SUPPLY
QRS®-101 and QRS®-101 P are intended to be connected to mains voltages of 115 V or 230 V and a mains
frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. Within this range there is no need for further change or alteration on the devices.
Connect the device’s power jack to a grounded socket by means of the attached power cord.

GB
!NOTE
QRS®-101 and QRS®-101 P allow time-controlled operation (Timer Mode). In this case the
device starts automatically at a predefined time, selected either via key programming (see
3.4, Timer Mode) or via chip card (see 3.3, Chip Card Mode). This functionality is available
since the control unit permanently surveys its time-controlled routines in the so-called stand-
by mode, even if it has been turned off via the on/off switch. It is thus mandatory that the
control unit is continuously connected to the power supply through its mains cord.
Please do not remove the mains cord from the device and never connect the device to the
power supply via a switched supply (power strip).
2.2.1 MAINS FUSES
Mains fuses serve to protect the device from further damage in case of a serious error. Mains fuses are not
subject to aging or wear. Thus, a defect mains fuse always indicates an internal device error.
If the device does not show any function after being switched on (display stays dark), first make sure that the
socket and mains cord conduct line voltage. Should this be futile, please check the mains fuse and replace it
by a new fuse with the same values if it is defect.
The mains fuse is located in the fuse carrier as shown in the image above. The fuse is accessible by gently
pressing the fuse carrier toward the device and turning it about 1/8th turn counter-clockwise.
!ATTENTION
Please contact an authorized service partner in case of doubt after a defect fuse or after
multiple defects.
2.3 CONNECTING THE APPLICATOR
Please connect the applicator(s) (pillow, mat, pen) to the 15-pole jack(s) (submin-D).
!ATTENTION
The applicator’s 15-pole jacks are provided with 2 thumb screws for attachment. Always
hand-screw these into the stud bolts of the device’s jacks. Never apply tools to tighten
these screws.

3. FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 BASIC FUNCTIONS
3.1.1 SELECTING THE APPLICATOR JACK
QRS®-101 and QRS®-101 P are equipped with jacks for 2 applicators (see image in chapter 2, Start of
Operation). The physical identification for those 2 jacks are „A“ (more to the side of the case) and „B“
(almost quoin center). Some QRS®-System‘s applicators may be attached to these two jacks. If 2 applicators
are connected – which have not already been predefined by an electronic prescription (see 3.3, Chip Card
Mode), you may chose the applicator to be applied for the next therapy on the device.
The display of the selected applicator ensues by pressing the
A/B
OK
-key. All of the QRS®-System‘s applicators are
coded, thus QRS®-101 and QRS®-101 P may identify the connected applicator‘s type. Therefore the display will
not show the applicator’s physical identification („A“ or „B“) but the descriptive, logical identification („mat“,
„pillow“ or „pen“). You may for example see the following display:

3.3 CHIP CARD MODE (QRS®-101 AND QRS®-101 P)
A chip card contains an electronic prescription and will be given to you by your physician or therapist. The chip
card may include up to 4 different therapies. All required parameters have been saved on the corresponding
chip card.
To perform a therapy through chip card, please insert it into the card reader. At this point it is irrelevant whether or
not QRS®-101 resp. QRS®-101 P have already been turned on.
After inserting a valid chip card you will alternately see one of the following 3 typical displays:
Here, the display’s left side shows the current time, its right side displays the chip card‘s therapy index (therapy
1, 2, 3 or 4). If several therapies (max. 4) have been prescribed on the chip card, you may page within those with
the keys
1
and
2
.
Following the therapy number the plain text therapy description will be displayed, for example:
This plain text has been chosen by your physician or therapist and serves solely as mnemonical description to
identify the therapy. If this text is longer than 16 characters they will be displayed as a sort of ticker, as running
text.
Following the therapy description the respective applicator jack will be displayed, finally. This is
either the or .
Afterwards the display routine will repeat by presenting the time and therapy number..

On the display’s left side the current therapy number and therapy description (plain text) will be shown,
alternately, on its right side you can see the remaining time until the end of therapy. The time of day, the
corresponding applicator jack, as well as the preselected therapy duration are not displayed during the
therapy.
THERAPY 3 06:21
!NOTES
• In making a chip card the maximum number of therapies to be performed by the patient
will be prescribed. This credit of therapy units will be deduced by one after performing
each therapy. As soon as this credit has been exhausted the corresponding therapy may no
longer be selected from this chip card. Please contact your physician or therapist as soon as
possible.
• If a QRS®-101 or QRS®-101 P control unit, containing a chip card with automatical, time-
controlled start of therapy („autostart“ option), is taken out of the power supply and
reconnected later, the device will switch on, independently, display the text „AUTOMODE“
and switch off again. The same display appears if a chip card is inserted into a switched-off
control unit.
3.4 TIMER MODE (ONLY QRS®-101)
QRS®-101 contain 2 independent „timers“. These programmable timing circuits serve to automatically start a
therapy. Here you are free to choose the starting time as well as all therapy parameters (therapy program, intensity,
duration and applicator).
The timers have to be programmed and activated before their first use. Afterwards the timers will start the selected
therapy every 24 hours, unless they have been deactivated explicitly.
Both of the QRS®-101 timers are equal and will be activated and programmed the identical
commands. The following example shows the commands for timer 1. Timer 2 is to be handled identically.
!NOTES
• To perform a therapy in timer mode the device may be turned off but must be
connected to a live power supply (see chapter 2.2, Power Supply).
• At the first use of the timers they are set as described in chapter 3.1.6, Restore
Basic Settings.

TIMER 1: [OFF] . . .
TIME T1: 22:30
!NOTE
If a QRS®-101 control unit with activated timer is taken out of the power supply and reconnected
later, the device will switch on, independently, display the text „AUTOMODE“ and switch off
again.
Activation and deactivation of both timers start on a switched-off device. To program the timer 1 please press

you may now start with its programming.
As its first programming step you will set the time at which the therapy shall be started, automatically. The
display will show the following menu (exemplary time):
The blinking cursor is positioned on the time’s first digit „2“, as shown above. You may now change the time
