Electronic Acupuncture Stimulator Selection Guide

Match Channel Count and Detection Jacks to Treatment Flow

Procurement for outpatient TCM clinics and hospital acupuncture wards depends on simultaneous treatment capacity. The Hwato SDZ-III provides 6 output channels alongside 2 dedicated acupoint detection jacks, allowing point location and pulse stimulation on one frame.

The instrument delivers low-frequency pulse electrical current through electrodes on the patient skin or directly through needles using alligator clips. Having 6 channels enables multi-point electro-needle therapy or needle-less pulse therapy across multiple meridian points without swapping cables between sessions.

• Six independent output channels allow practitioners to treat multiple target zones or several needle pairs in a single session
• Two dedicated detection jacks pair with the included detection pen for locating treatment acupoints on patient skin
• Dual therapy modes support needle-less pulse electric stimulation via skin pads or direct electro-needle connection

Evaluate Pulse Waveforms and Output Controls

Pulse variation prevents nerve accommodation during prolonged therapy. The SDZ-III instrument includes microcomputer control that outputs 5 different kinds of waveforms, with an illuminated symbol lighting up as each wave mode is selected.

An auto-cycle function outputs three types of waves continuously during treatment. A built-in timer controls session duration, and an audible error tone sounds if a circuit fault or operating discrepancy occurs during clinical use.

• Five selectable waveforms display lighted indicator symbols and include an auto-cycle mode for three specific wave patterns
• Built-in timer regulates treatment duration when running low-frequency pulse stimulation through electrodes or acupuncture needles
• Audible tone alerts the practitioner immediately if an operating error occurs during the treatment cycle

Hwato SDZ-III Electronic Acupuncture Stimulator is the model most often specified when this is the constraint.

Verify Power Draw and Physical Footprint for Treatment Rooms

Equipment power specifications determine whether mobile carts or bedside setups require mains drop cords. The SDZ-III operates on AC 110 V power with input power at or below 4 VA and maximum power consumption under 5 W.

For wards or remote beds where mains outlets are occupied, the unit runs on DC 9 V supplied by 6 C-size batteries. Its overall dimensions of 360 mm by 255 mm by 95 mm fit standard hospital rolling carts and compact consultation desks.

• Dual power capability allows operation from 110 V AC mains or six C-size batteries drawing under 5 W
• Input power rating of 4 VA or less minimizes electrical load in multi-bed rehabilitation wards
• Compact footprint measuring 360 by 255 by 95 millimetres fits treatment trolleys in outpatient rooms

Account for Standard Accessories and Clinical Consumables

The stimulator does not include acupuncture needles in the factory box. It is engineered to combine with clinical needles already stocked by the facility, using the supplied alligator clip lead wires.

Standard packaging includes 4 electropads with 2 lead wires, 1 acupoint detection pen, and 6 alligator clip output wires terminating in rectangular female plugs. Checking accessory counts before placing clinic bulk orders avoids separate sourcing delays.

• Package includes four electropads two lead wires one detection pen and six alligator clip output wires
• Rectangular female plug type connects the alligator clips directly to standard needles supplied by your clinic
• Wear parts and accessory lines ship directly alongside equipment orders to maintain continuous ward operation
