Simple Modulated Pulse (SMP) Waveform
As shown in
Figure 9, the output of the Empi Active device is a patented
asymmetrical Simple Modulated Pulse (SMP) waveform designed to maximize pain
relief. SMP delivers a group of pulses as a repeating 12-second cycle. Within each
cycle, the rate and duration of the pulses vary.
Standard Measurement Conditions
23°C, 1 k ohm resistive load, 4.2V d.c. supply voltage.
Standard Measurement
Pulse Duration
Pulse duration is adjustable and determined by the intensity setting. Range is 48 to
400μs at 50% peak amplitude.
Maximum Current
Absolute average value: 10 mA into 500 ohms
Root Mean Square: 10 mA into 1k ohm
Electrode surface area: 1.2 in
2
(7.9 cm
2
) minimum area recommended.
Type BF Applied Part
Internally powered only. Ordinary protection against entry of liquids.
Continuous operation.

Modulation Characteristics
As illustrated in
Figures 10 and 11, the output of Empi Active is a balanced
asymmetrical biphasic waveform that has nominally constant voltage in the positive
phase and nominally constant current in the negative phase over the AAMI load range
of 200 to 1k ohms with a 20% tolerance.
