Overview
BioMedical Life Systems is proud to introduce its new generation of electrotherapy devices, the BioStim®
Digital NMS + Muscle Stimulator. Its compact size and user-friendly programming features make the
BioStim®’s design unique among electrotherapy devices.
The unit measures 3.75” x 2.5” x 1.25” when closed, and opens and additional 2.5” to reveal the easy to
read LCD screen and digital keypad. Simple to understand instructions guide the user through all of the
device’s operations. Five pre-programmed protocols, three of which are incontinence therapies,
ensure ease of use. With two waveforms to choose from, asymmetrical or symmetrical biphasic square
waves, the device can be used as a Muscle Stimulator and/or a TENS device. The unit has three
types of stimulation, continuous, cycled or reciprocating and adjustable pulse rate and pulse width. The patient lock system,
when activated, allows parameters to be set and locked preventing the patient from changing the settings. When the patient lock is
deactivated, the patient compliance meter is displayed showing the cumulative time the device has been used. The timer allows the
patient to set the duration of each therapy session. The two-channel device incorporates touch proof design and operates on four AA
batteries.
General Specifications
Size: 3.75" x 2.5" x 1.25" (95 mm x 63 mm x 32 mm)
Weight: 8 oz (266 grams)
Channels: Dual
Waveform: Asymmetrical square biphasic (TENS)
Symmetrical, biphasic, square (NMS)
Pulse Rate (adj.): 1- 120 Hz
Pulse Width: 0 - 400 µs
Stimulation 1. Continuous Stimulation
Modes: Use the Constant Mode or a pulse rate greater than 60 Hz for the
relaxation of muscle spasms only. Use of continuous stimulation and/or
rates above the normal physiological range (e.g., greater than 60 Hz)
could lead to the rapid onset of muscle fatigue, making the device less
effective in producing repeated forceful muscle contractions
2. Cycled
3. Reciprocating
Five Therapy 1 : 35 Hz, 300 µs, Symmetrical Biphasic
Preprogrammed Therapy 2 : 35 Hz, 300 µs, Asymmetrical Biphasic
Therapies: Therapy 3 : 50 Hz, 180 µs, Symmetrical Biphasic
Therapy 4: 20 Hz, 250 µs, Symmetrical Biphasic
Therapy 5: 10 Hz, 50 µs, Symmetrical Biphasic
Output Voltage: 49 Volts peak to peak
Intensity (adj.): 0-120 mA
Output Voltage: 0-49 V
Intensity: 0-49 V 0-98 mA
Power Supply: 4 AA Batteries
Data was recorded across a 500 ohm resistance load.
