Almag-01 Magnetotherapeutic device with traveling pulsed field, 1 pc., Elatomsky Instrument Plant buy in Moscow at a low price

One type of conservative treatment is magnetic physiotherapy.
A course of magnetic treatment can be completed both in a hospital and at home. The Almag 01 device, manufactured at the Elatom Instrument Plant, is suitable for home use. A traveling pulsed magnetic field is emitted by the device in periodic pulses lasting ≈ 2 ms, with a frequency of 6 Hz. The impulse penetrates quite deeply, up to 7 cm. The body has the following effects:

metabolic processes accelerate;
blood circulation increases locally;
swelling subsides;
drugs are absorbed much faster.

These properties are effective in curing more than 50 diseases.

PURPOSE AND PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION. HOW TO APPLY ALMAG-01 CORRECTLY

The ALMAG-01 device is intended for therapeutic effects on the human body using a pulsed traveling magnetic field for the treatment of radiculitis, arthrosis, osteochondrosis, etc.
in the conditions of physiotherapeutic departments of medical institutions and at home. The ALMAG-01 device consists of a control unit (current pulse generator), an emitter consisting of four interconnected inductor coils used to influence individual affected parts of the body, an emitter cable and a power cord.

After turning on the device to a 230 V network, the control unit within 22 minutes ensures the formation and distribution of current pulses over the inductor coils, in which they are converted into magnetic induction pulses. As a result, a cyclically changing running (from the 1st coil to the 4th, from the 1st to the 4th...) pulsed magnetic field is formed distributed in the space of the emitter.

The inductor coils are connected by elastic jumpers and form a flexible radiating line - an emitter, which, when using the device for its intended purpose, can be applied to the lumbar or collar areas, spine, wrapped around the knee joint, etc.

Contraindications

Acute purulent-inflammatory diseases
Aortic aneurysm
Pregnancy
Systemic blood diseases
Malignant neoplasms
Thyrotoxicosis
Alcohol intoxication
Atrial fibrillation
Presence of an implantable pacemaker in the affected area

The presence of metal inclusions inside bone tissue is not a contraindication to the use of the device in therapeutic doses.

The presence of metal crowns in the oral cavity is not a contraindication to the use of the device in therapeutic doses.

ORDER OF INTENDED USE

After long-term storage during transportation at temperatures below plus 10 °C, before turning on, keep the device indoors at room temperature for at least 4 hours. If necessary, disinfect the outer surfaces of parts of the device by wiping twice with a calico or gauze napkin soaked in a solution approved for use in medical practice for plastic products (for example, a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide and a 5% solution of chloramine) with intervals between wiping of 10- 15 minutes. In this case, the napkin must be wrung out to prevent the solution from getting inside the device.

There are two light indicators on the control unit housing. Green lights up when the device is turned on to the power supply. Simultaneously with the green indicator, the yellow one lights up, indicating the formation of a traveling magnetic field. It is connected to a timer and goes out 22 minutes after the device is turned on, and the effect stops.

Notes.

1. To continue operating the device, you must disconnect the device from the power supply and turn it on again (turn it on after a period of at least 10 minutes). 2. After finishing working with the device, you must disconnect the product from the power supply.

The presence of a magnetic field and the operability of ALMAG is confirmed by the blinking of green indicators in the center of each of the four inductor coils. When the product is operating, the indicators should flash at an equal frequency.

Additionally, the performance of ALMAG can be checked using a magnetic field indicator, one by one applying it to the inductor coils, from the side of the “N” sign connected to the device’s network. The presence of a pulsed magnetic field will be indicated by a flashing green light in the center of the indicator.

Both sides of the inductor coils are working, however, in the vast majority of techniques, the effect is carried out by the sides of the coils with the north pole (indicated by the sign “N”).

The direction of movement of the traveling pulsed magnetic field from the first inductor coil to the fourth. The first coil is considered to be the one to which the cable from the control unit fits.

Treatment is carried out by influencing the lesion, surrounding tissues and reflex zones, placing the device’s inductors directly on the skin.

Due to the high penetrating ability of the device’s magnetic field, treatment can also be carried out through clothing, a dry or wet gauze bandage, or a plaster cast up to 1 cm thick.

When used as intended, pay attention to the correct placement of the emitter in accordance with the recommendations specified in the treatment method (direction of the traveling pulsed magnetic field and exposure to the north or south magnetic pole).

Combined use of the device and medications for external use

The combined use of magnetic therapy and topical medications for external use is called magnetophoresis (A17.30.040 magnetophoresis). The use of this technique for diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system significantly increases the effectiveness of the therapy .

For athropathies, magnetophoresis is carried out in the first week of treatment with the device in combination with local forms of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ointments, gels, creams), then in combination with local forms of chondroprotectors.

When treating varicose veins, it is possible to combine the use of magnetotherapeutic procedures from the device and local forms of anticoagulants .

The magnetophoresis procedure is carried out as follows:

The drug for external use is applied to the affected area in accordance with the instructions for use of the drug.
In order not to contaminate the device, the area on which the drug is applied is covered with cellophane film.
The inductors of the device are applied over the affected area covered with cellophane film in accordance with the recommendations of the section “Methods for applying inductors for various diseases” of this instruction manual.
The magnetotherapy procedure is carried out in compliance with the regime and duration indicated in Tables 2-6.
