DuoBravo Bedienungsanleitung / Operators Manual
Introduction – What is DuoBravo ?
The DuoBravo is a modern device for biofeedback and neuromuscular stimulation. The term
biofeedback refers to a method to perceive biological processes with the help of a technical
device. This instrument measures physical activity - even if there are no visible or no voluntary
muscle contractions - and converts them to optical and/or sound signals. Nevertheless
DuoBravo is a combined two-channel device that can be flexibly used for electromyography
(EMG) or EMG-triggered stimulation (ETS) or for neuromuscular stimulation only. Doctors and
patients are the intended operators for this unit.
The DuoBravo is available in three different versions. DuoBravo U can be used for urologic,
gynecologic and proctologic therapy while DuoBravo N is designed for neurologic and
orthopedic treatments. The combination device DuoBravo U + N contains all programs. Each
version includes preset EMG- and ETS-programs as well as multiple stimulation programs
in different modes. Additionally the devices have 4 freely customizable programs in which
individual STIM-, EMG- and/or ETS-phases and a combination can be set.
The clip on the back of the unit allows the user to fasten the device to the clothes, the unit is
intended to be supported by hand during normal use. The belt clip is for temporary relief only.
During treatment it's not necessary to hold DuoBravo, since it can stand upright on a flat
surface in its stand. This allows the patient to train or to be treated while observing the success
of the individual efforts. The muscle activity is indicated by a yellow-green bargraph on each
side of the screen and by numerical values in the bottom-line of the display.
At the end of each session, the screen automatically displays the average values of muscle
activity in this session. The DuoBravo can be used with or without connection to a personal
computer. The stored treatment data can be transmitted to the PC at a later date using a software
available separately.
This device is quality controlled and fulfills the rules and regulations set by the German law for
medical products (MPG) as well as the guidelines of the European Community 93/42/EWG for
medical products. Therefore this device carries the CE-mark „CE 0123".
You can find the serial number of this device on the belt clip.
