IF-4000 Interferential Stimulator


Interferential Stimulator IF-4000 is used to treat symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain and/or as adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic acute pain. It is a low frequency treatment that uses two medium frequency currents which "interfere" with each other to produce a beat frequency that the body recognizes as a low frequency energy source. The range is usually 1-250 Hz. The body produces frequency currents between 1-256 Hz. The major use of Interferential Therapy is to accelerate the inflammatory or healing rate. So almost any condition can be treated where inflammation is a problem.
Interferential Stimulator IF-4000 ProMed is a dual channel unit, which allows you to use up to four electrodes at a time (two electrodes per channel).

The IF-4000 Unit features:

  • Dual Channels,
  • Multi-mode Selector Switch,
  • Electrode Switch,
  • Power-on Indicator Light,
  • Low Battery Light,
  • Frequency Control,
  • Amplitude Control

    Technical Specifications:
  • Carrier Frequency: (4000 +/- 10%) Hz, fixed.
  • Difference Frequency: (1+/- 0.5)~(150 +/- 10%)Hz, adjustable
  • Output Voltage: (16 +/- 2.5)Volts. (500 ohm Loading)
  • Waveform: Symmetric biphasic saure.
  • Pulse Width: (125 +/- 10%) microseconds for each phase.
  • Power Source: 9V alkaline battery or adaptor
  • Four Frequency Shift: Continuous, 1/1 abrupt, 8/8 abrupt, 10/10 ramped Options.
    All values have 10% +/- tolerance

    The package includes:
  • Interferential Stimulator IF-4000 ProMed,
  • Lead Wires (New FDA compliant),
  • 4 Self-stick Hypoallergenic reusable electrodes,
  • 9 Volt Battery,
  • Hard Plastic Carrying case,
  • Instruction Booklet,
  • 120 Volt adapter.

    NOTE: Difference Between TENS & Interferential: TENS delivers a low frequency current which causes an accumulation of energy in the skin. To be effective, TENS may therefore rely more heavily on neural channels than interferential types of currents do in order to be clinically effective in subcutaneous layers of tissue. Due to its medium frequency mode of delivery, interferential currents penetrate the skin easily and may have a more direct cellular effect below the skin. Interferential current may also appear less noxious to the patient since very little energy is accumulated in the skin. Interferential therapy should not be used with a cardiac pacemaker, over the eyelids, on the head or on the front on the neck. Please consult with a physician before using an IF-4000.

    Note: This unit is a Class II Medical Device and by FDA regulations cannot be returned if it has been used.
