Straight to:
The DC-STIMULATOR MOBILE is a clinical simulator designed to be used in clinics and practices. Using this device, doctors and psychologists can apply transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) using weak currents up to 2mA over 15-30 minutes.
tDCS represents part of interventional neurophysiology; the electrical charges and densities administered during tDCS lie far below the threshold for releasing a stimulus and have a modular effect on existing neuronal elements. Depending on the duration, used current, current density and frequency, the stimulation is effective on inhibiting or activating cortical activity.
The DC-STIMULATOR MOBILE is for transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for reduction of depressive symptoms. It can be applied as monotherapy or in combination with other treatments. For patients with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication and failure to another drug, no further benefit of tDCS beyond unspecific (placebo) effects can be expected.
"By now, tDCS has become an integral part of our therapeutic approach due to its good efficacy and simple handling. It (...) can be very well integrated into the clinical routine of a psychiatric-psychotherapeutic practice"
Frank Schmidt-Staub - Neurologist and Psychiatrist in Hannover, Germany
One system. Multiple configurations.
The Set of Devices (SOD) ist modular by design. Components can be combined to suit the specific applications and expanded with additional modules as needed.
The individual components and their respective functions are outlined here:
-
storage module (EDSM)
The storage module contains the parameters for the next stimulation, including the stimulation sequence(s), the number and order of enabled stimulation sequences and, if desired, a start time. It also stores the electrical energy required for operating the stimulator, as well as log data recorded during an ongoing stimulation. 
-
stimulator (APCS)
The stimulator only works in conjunction with a fully configured and charged storage module. It applies a current according to the stimulation sequence stored in the storage module. 
-
programmer (PCD)
The programmer transfers data between the PC software and the storage module and can also charge the battery contained in each storage module. 
-
charger (COD)
The charger allows you to charge the storage module's battery directly from an electricity outlet without using a computer. The charger can be visually distinguished from the programmer by a yellow line. 
-
PC-software
To operate the DC-STIMULATOR MOBILE, a computer with a stable internet connection and a USB port is required. The software provided by neurocare organises the configuration and charging of the storage modules, as well as the transfer of log-data into the databank. 
-
case
Each SOD is delivered in a hardshell case. This allows for the devices to be safely transported and conveniently stored. 
Choose the configuration that fits your needs.
SOD BASIC
- 2 stimulators
- 6 storage modules
- 2 programmers
This allows two patients to be treated at the same time. The additional storage modules make it possible to prepare multiple treatments and swap out the modules between treatments.
The set helps facilities with high patient volumes ensure a smooth treatment process.
SOD BASIC C
- 2 stimulators
- 4 storage modules
- 2 programmers
- 2 charger
Two patients can be treated simultaneously while additional modules are being prepared or charged for further treatments.
This configuration is ideal for facilities that coordinate multiple treatment units. Charging the batteries from a wall outlet can be easily done on the side. This set is also particularly well-suited for facilities that offer home visits.
SOD MINI
- 1 stimulator
- 3 storage modules
- 1 programmer
The “MINI” set is designed for a single treatment station. It includes the minimum equipment needed to get started with tDCS.
While one memory module is in use, additional modules can be kept on hand for subsequent applications. The set is ideal for smaller facilities or locations with a manageable number of treatments.
SOD MINI C
- 1 stimulator
- 3 storage modules
- 1 programmer
- 1 charger
The “MINI C” set is designed for a single treatment space. Multiple storage modules allow several patients to be treated in direct succession. Additionally, there is a simple option to recharge the unit from a wall outlet.
This configuration is particularly well-suited for smaller facilities or decentralized applications where a compact equipment setup and flexible charging processes are required.
STIM ALONE EXTENSION 1
- 1 stimulator
- 1 storage module
- 1 charger
The Stim Alone Extension complements an existing system. It allows an additional person to be stimulated independently of the existing treatment unit.
The extension is suitable, for example, for setting up an additional treatment station or for use at a different time and location using a pre-programmed memory module, e.g., in clinical studies or, in the future, for home use.
tES caps for therapy and research
With the new innovative tES caps, you can place the anode and cathode for tDCS and tACS precisely over predefined areas of the brain.
Accessories for the DC-STIMULATOR MOBILE
The DC-STIMULATOR MOBILE is delivered with an equipment starter set, which contains a set of standard accessories: electrodes of various dimensions, cables, sponges and straps.
All components can be reordered from neuroCare. Please contact us if you wish to reorder complete sets or individual components: sales@neurocaregroup.com or 03677-689790.
Use in clinical trials
If you intend to use the DC-STIMULATOR MOBILE in double blind clinical studies applying transcranial electrical stimulation (tDCS, tACS) please contact the manufacturer or responsible sales department.
In clinical research the devices are used by the German Center for Mental Health (DZPG) as well as the Charité in Berlin, the LMU in Munich, the University hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf as well as in research centers and university hospitals worldwide.
