System for therapeutic application of energy

摘要

A system for the therapeutic application of energy to a patient includes a primary unit that has a first generator for generating a first form of energy for therapeutic application to a patient. The primary unit also has a first outlet jack that is operatively connected to the first generator and adapted to receive a first therapeutic applicator, and a module receiver for receiving an upgrade module for enhancing the operation of the system. The system also includes a first therapeutic applicator for use in applying the first form of energy to a patient. The first therapeutic applicator is adapted to be operatively connected to the first generator through the first outlet jack. A preferred embodiment of the invention includes a first generator protocol operational mechanism that is operatively connected to the first generator and adapted to configure the operational parameters of the first generator. This embodiment of the invention also includes an interactive ailment-protocol selection interface that is operatively connected to the first generator protocol operational mechanism. Another embodiment of the invention includes a patient data storage device for storing identification data representative of at least one patient and a corresponding set of therapy information associated with each such patient. This embodiment also includes a display screen that is operatively connected to the patient data storage device and adapted to display therapy information and identification data contained in such patient data storage device, and a patient data input device that is operatively connected to the patient data storage device and the screen display and adapted to input therapy information and identification data for each such patient.
