Guide To Treatment Options
The
Arc4Sports
uses two different sequences of electrical current, both delivered in two slightly
different ways (= 4 Treatment Options).
These TREATMENT OPTIONS are indicated by the 4 LEDs at the top of the Delivery Unit.
1.
The first sequence (Treatment Options 1 and 2) is designed and intended to disperse
pain. This should be used for all initial TRAUMA.
2.
The second sequence (Treatment Options 3 and 4) is designed to kick-start and
accelerate REPAIR, enabling rapid closure to all tissue with little (and often no) scar
tissue.
Treatment Protocols – Pain
Treatment Option 1. Use daily for 3 hours for 3 weeks.

Selecting The Treatment Options
Treatment Option 1 and 2 - pain, bruising,
swelling and inflammation.
Treatment Option 3 and 4 - tissue repair.
Programming The Delivery Unit
At the top of the Delivery Unit there are
4 Treatment Option LEDs.
To select your Treatment Option give a single
press/release of the left-hand button and
continue until the LED of the required
Treatment Option shows Amber.
As the Treatment Options are selected you
will hear a sequence of short, sharp beeps.
The number of beeps corresponds to the
Treatment Option selected.
For example, 3 beeps = Treatment Option 3.
Subsequently, when the Delivery Unit is first
switched ON, the LED corresponding to the
last Treatment Option delivered will show
Amber.
Activating Delivery Of The Treatment
Option
Give a single press / release of the right
hand button. This will begin delivery of a
3 hour Treatment Programme.
Once activated, the light under the left-hand
button will turn OFF and the light under the
right-hand button and the LED Treatment
Option indicator (1 – 4), will turn either:
Green:
to indicate correct connectivity, and
delivery; or
Amber:
to indicate no connectivity at one or
more of the Electrode Pads.
After 30 seconds, the light under the right-
hand button will turn OFF and the Treatment
Option Indicator LED (1 – 4) will begin to flash
green, and continue to do so throughout the
delivery period.
When the Treatment is complete the Unit will
beep and then automatically turn OFF.
The Treatment can be manually stopped at
any time by pressing and holding the right
hand button until it beeps.
Please consult a Physiotherapist if you
require
