Indications:
Principle
The transducer which is used to magnetic stimulation makes electrical fields by pulse current flowing from a capacitor according to the principle of Faraday's Law. Whenever the capacitor bank is discharged by the action of the control system, a pulse of current flows through the stimulating coil. The magnetic stimulation creates intense, rapidly changing magnetic electrical fields that are able to penetrate soft tissue and bone, to reach deep nervous structures. This magnetic electrical fields is used to the treatment.
This device directly generates (induces) electric current in muscles, nerve tissues, etc. affected by a high induction magnetic field and electrically stimulates it to relieve pain and suppress dysuria such as urinary incontinence.
Intended use
The COMPACT-II is an electrically powered device intended for medical purposes that repeatedly contracts muscles by passing electrical currents through electrodes non-contacting the affected body area. And, in addition, the electro-magnetic stimulator is intended to provide entirely non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation of pelvic floor musculature for the purpose of rehabilitation of weak pelvic muscles and restoration of neuromuscular control for the treatment of urinary incontinence in human.
Device description
The COMPACT-II is intended to help relieve the patient’s muscular pain and suppress urination such as urinary incontinence and has the function of magnetic stimulation. This COMPACT-II consists of the main body and transducer for magnetic stimulation. The function of magnetic stimulation is operated with the parameter such as Mode, Intensity and Time. These parameters can be controlled by users on the LCD touch screen.
Contraindications:
- Do not use the equipment in parallel with other electronic medical equipment.
- Be careful tensure that magnetic stimulation does not penetrate the heart region.
In general, patients in the following categories cannot be treated with this equipment. Prior tany treatment with this equipment, permission of the doctor in charge must be obtained:
- Patients with high fever, pregnant women, the elderly and children.
- Patients with a history or status of epilepsy or seizure disability.
- Patients with suspected status of epilepsy on the basis of electroencephalography.
- Patients with evidence of external wound at brain and neck.
- Patients with cardiac pacemakers, drug injecting pumps or hearing aids.
- Patients with cranial implants.
Instruction for Use Please consult the Instructions for Use for more information on indications and contra-indications and for warnings and recommendations.
