Abstract

The invention relates to a biophysiological regulator for therapeutic treatments, including brain stimulation coils (7) which generate current using a microcontroller (11). The invention includes a second microcontroller (16), a liquid crystal display (17), a selector (21) for selecting pre-recorded programs and a connection port (20) for an external device (19) which is provided with a speaker (24) and LEDs that indicate whether or not the battery is charged (18), the regulator is connected (27), an application is underway (26) and the battery is low (25), and an internal program (28) which regulates the frequency and typology of the output wave and the time. The invention also includes a tamper protection system formed by a microcontroller (29) inside a special connector (30) built into the assembly (applicator and cable), in which the internal software of the device reads the serial number located inside the microcontroller of the connector.

Claims

1. BIOPHYSIOLOGICAL REGULATOR FOR THERAPEUTIC TREATMENTS, those used in therapies based on magnetic waves, applicable to any cerebral disease and mainly to fibromyalgia and can be used directly by the patient so that the patient can self-apply the treatment, in which a series of coils (7) of brain stimulation are involved, through which a current is circulated that generates a magnetic field of low frequency;

current generated by a digital microcontroller (11) which is fed by a power supply, and means to verify the correct operation/functioning of these coils (7), characterized by the fact that it comprises of a second microcontroller (16), a liquid crystal display (17), a pre-recorded programs selector (21), and a connection port (20) for introducing the parameters through an external device (19), containing a speaker (24) and a series of bright LED battery indicators (18), connected regulator (27), application in process (26),and low battery (25), and with an internal program (28) that regulates both the frequency and typology of the output wave and the application time for each pre-recorded program.

2. BIOPHYSIOLOGICAL REGULATOR FOR THERAPEUTIC TREATMENTS, according to claim 1, characterized by the fact of incorporating an inviolability system consisting of a microcontroller (29) inside a special connector (30) which is incorporated in the set, applicator and cable (6), in which the internal software of the device reads the serial number located inside the microcontroller of the connector.

3. BIOPHYSIOLOGICAL REGULATOR FOR THERAPEUTIC TREATMENTS according to claims 1 and 2, characterized by the fact of introducing a compact portable application format through a treatment helmet built in an appropriate fabric, provided with an internal disposable sanitary sheath, having coils (7) in series, sequential and orderly distributed under established criteria, which consist of a bracket with a rod that passes through the cap and passes through the centre hole of the coil spool, with a locking system “

click”

that makes the coil fixed to the cap.
