1 Introduction 

1.1 Intended Use 

The HiToP ® BodyBeauty 172 is a microprocessor-controlled HighTone Therapy device for electrotherapy. 

Its application range predestines this device for: 

Thus, the HiToP ® (HighTone Power) BodyBeauty 172 is well suited for: 

• muscle relaxation 

• muscle training 

• muscle stimulation (increase of energy consumption) 

• rehabilitation 

• lipolysis (decrease of fatty cells in the upper tissue) 

• “refreshment treatment” for overall vitalisation. 

The use of HiToP ® BodyBeauty 172 is made easier by programs which automatically set the therapy 

frequencies and the therapy time. There are therapy frequencies particularly for gymnastics, muscle training, 

muscle relaxation, rehabilitation, lipolysis, edema treatment, fat burning and “refreshment treatment” for 

overall vitalisation. 

Also patients with varicose veins, metal implants, endoprotheses and open wounds (ulcus cruris) may be 

treated. 

The HighTone Power Therapy device HiToP ® (HighTone Power) provides a therapy with middle 

frequency sine waves. The therapy is absolutely free of d.c. components. There are two channels available. 

The frequency range used comprehends 3 octaves, the range of 4096 – 32768 Hz. The therapy frequency is 

scanned with a defined frequency. This method is called SimulFAM ® for Simultanous Frequency 

Amplitude Modulation. In the following, the basic method is divided into two different ones. 

SimulFAM ® i 

A slow frequency scan of up to three octaves is realized. The minimum amplitude is passed with the 

minimum frequency. The maximum amplitude is passed with the maximum frequency. This therapy 

activates the metabolism of the body without any effect of nerve- and muscle-stimulation. 

SimulFAM ® X 

A frequency scan of three octaves is realized. The frequency scan is realized with different speed (0.1 – 

200 Hz). This therapy activates the metabolism in the body, thus having an effect of stimulation.

2.4 Intensity monitoring 

During the development of the HiToP ® BodyBeauty 172 we have endeavored not only to offer you a 

HighTone Power Therapy device of a new generation with regard to its efficiency and operatability, but also 

to set new standards with regard to the patient’s safety. 

Intensity increase at open circuits, i.e. no patient is connected to the device: 

If the initial voltage is increased at open circuit and no current is measured, the channel will be switched off 

for the patient´s safety. An acoustic signal is given and a message will be displayed: Please check that the 

electrodes and cables of channel N have good contact. 

!! Note 

If this message is displayed: Please check that the electrodes and cables of channel N have good 

contact, you should check the contact of the electrodes and the cables, resp., prior to setting the 

intensity anew. 

Abrupt resistance changes in the electrode application can cause problems: 

1. Two electrodes touch each other and form a shunt when adjusted upward. If the patient moves during 

the therapy, that shunt can open and the patient becomes exposed to an unintended high intensity of 

current. 

2. The electrodes are shorted-out by a conductive foreign substance. This could be a metallic spectacle 

frame in case of tinnitus treatment . If during the treatment that shunt is removed (e.g. by taking off the 



glasses) this abrupt resistance modification also leads to a severe modification of the intensity of 

current. 

3. It is especially in case of frequently used adhesive electrodes that a weak and therefore highly resistive 

contact is caused. If the desired intensity of current is adjusted in this condition and the electrode is 

pressed closer during the treatment, e.g. if the patient turns round and lies on the electrode, this can also 

lead to a severe increase of the intensity of current. 

4. Please observe by all means the notice on the electrode position. (see chapter 5 Electrodes). 

2.4.1 Intensity monitoring active 

We at gbo Medizintechnik AG have expanded the device software by a special intensity monitoring routine 

in order to get these application problems under control. This safety switching avoids an unintended high 

change of the intensity of current and switches off the respective channel in such a case. On the display a 

note for the respective channel is shown (in that example: channel 1): 

Please check that the 

electrodes of channel 1 

have good contact. 

In that case the therapist can correct the electrode placement and start the therapy again. 

2.4.2 Deactivate intensity monitoring 

!! Notes 

• The intensity monitoring is automatically activated for all channels after each restart of the unit! 

The function can be manually deactivated in the Menu Basic settings after starting the unit. 

• Deactivate the intensity monitoring only in exceptional cases, e. g. in case of the Big-Tast-

5 Electrodes 

For the treatments of large areas preferably large conductive or adhesive electrodes are recommended. For 

sensitive parts of the head small adhesive electrodes should be used. The electrodes must be plugged in to 

the unit through a patient cable which is connected to the distribution cable.. 

The electrode size depends on the current to be applied. Under small electrodes the current is more 

concentrated and more localised than under large electrodes. 

Electrode Area Maximum current 

Conductive rubber electrode 80 mm x 120 mmm 95 cm 2 

190 mA 

Conductive rubber electrode 115 mm x 175 mm 200 cm 2 

300 mA 

Self adhesive electrode 51 mm x 57 mm (2” x 2 ¼”) 29 cm 2 

58 mA 

Self adhesive electrode 51 mm x 104 mm (2” x 4”) 52 cm 2 

Table 5: Maximum currents for electrodes 

104 mA 

5.1 Electrode positioning 

The positioning of the patient is very important. The therapy shall always be carried out in a comfortable 

and relaxed position. The joints shall be located in an angular position, so that they are placed in a midposition, 

from which both the flexor as well as the extensor muscles can be stimulated. 

In general, the preparation and application of the electrodes is carried out as follows: 

1. Connect the electrodes to the patient cable. 

2. Connect the patient cable to the distribution cable. 

3. Plug in the patient plug of the distribution cable to the referring channel socket of the unit. 

4. Wet the conductive rubber electrodes with Aloe contact spray to avoid current sensations on the skin. 

5. If you want to use the macroporous intermediate layers or fleece pockets, they must be thoroughly 

washed under running water. 

6. Apply the electrodes to the patient. 

7. Apply the holding strap in a way that the electrode fits completely. 

Attention 

• Do not apply the electrodes on skin injuries. Even minor abrasions can cause a burning to 

the patient. Herewith the intensity of the current can be erroneously judged by the 

patient. If this cannot be avoided, apply zinc ointment or vaseline to cover the affected 

parts of the skin. 

• The electrodes must adhere completely to the skin in order to avoid excessive local 

current density. Otherwise there can occur erythemas, and sometimes even burns. 

• It is recommended not to exceed the current density of 2 mA/cm 2 for all electrodes. 

• During the therapy the patient must take off jewelry and glasses. 



5.2 Multiple logitudinal (whole-) body treatments in parallel 

As a rule, in whole-body treatment the longitudinal current flow is realized with two pairs of electrodes, 

applied on the hands and feet each. 

Principally – independent of the physiological effect of such a therapy – with the two channels of 

HiToP ® BodyBeauty 172 also multiple parallel, overlapping longitudinal current flows can be realized. 

Here, due to physical principles, on the devices side it cannot be excluded that the patient experiences 

current sensations when adding further channels. Thus, please notice: 

!! Note If a second electric circuit is added in parallel to the first longitudinal body treatment, 

which is overlapping the first circuit for a large area of activity, the total resistance in 

the first circuit is reduced suddenly at the moment of turning on the second circuit. This 

rapid change in resistance causes a sudden current increase, which in the end may lead 

to a current sensation or – with acivated current monitoring - to cutting off of one 

channel. This can be avoided in the following way: 

• Activate first the circuit, which passes the smaller part of the body, and only after 

that the whole body treatment. 

This note is only applicable for current circuits that overlap in a significantly 

large area. Of cause local therapies of small body regions, e.g. the knee, during a 

whole-body treatment are not concerned by this.

Appendix A Programs 

The new programs of the HiToP 172 are pre-programmed sequences of treatments that are designed to 

achieve well defined effects for the customer. The user of the HiToP can chose between the Program menu 

or the Indication menu by selecting the corresponding menu in the device settings. The different programs 

can typically be used with one application of the electrodes, i.e. it is not necessary to change electrode 

application as the program changes from one treatment to the next. 

The following is a brief description of the different programs and their typical use. 

Vitalization 

Vitalization consists of SimulFAM ® i only and is typically applied as the whole-body treatment. 

The program length is pre-set to 30 minutes but can be changed by the user. 

Lipolysis 

Lipolysis is the body’s own process of freeing fatty cells from the tissue and making them accessible as 

energy carriers for the body to burn. This Lipolysis can be stimulated by HighTone Therapy. The 

scientifically proven frequency for maximum stimulation of lipolysis is 3 Hz. 

In order to avoid adaptation of the body and based on practical experience our Lipolysis program uses a 

frequency sweep from 2.5 – 3.5 Hz. The length of the treatment is preset to 30 minutes but can be changed 

by the user. 

As this program will only free but not burn the freed fatty cells it is recommended to follow it up with 

physical exercise. 


Cellulite 

The cellulite treatment combines 10 minutes of lipolysis with 5 minutes of a frequency sweep from 10 – 

20 Hz. This sweep will result in a vasoconstriction (10 Hz), pressing blood out of the area, and strong 

muscle stimulation (20 Hz), burning the freed fatty cells. 

The program is of a fixed length of 30 minutes and the above described sequence is carried out twice. 

Fatburning 

This program focuses on the reduction of fatty cells. Therefor 80% of the treatment time is used for 

Lipolysis. The rest of the time a frequency sweep of 10 – 30 Hz is applied, giving some vasoconstriction but 

mainly muscle work in order to burn the freed fatty cells. 

The program is of fixed length 30 minutes of 3 cycles with 8 minutes Lipolysis and 2 minutes 10 – 30 Hz. 


35


Body Shaping 

Goal of this program is to bring the body into a good shape by reduction of fatty cells on one side and 

muscle build up on the other side. Therefor we have evenly combined Lipolysis treatment with a efficient 

training of the muscles with SimulFAM ® X frequencies between 20 and 30 Hz. 

Important for a effective muscle training is a strong contraction. To achieve this the intensity is increased 

during the muscle stimulation period. To give the muscle time to relax, pauses are inserted corresponding to 

the Sport program. 

The program is of fixed length 30 minutes of 2 cycles. Each cycle contains 5 minutes Lipolysis, 5 minutes 

muscle work and 5 minutes relaxation of the muscles with 150 – 200 Hz. 

Electro-Massage 

To achieve a relaxing and comforting loosening of a muscle or muscle group we can apply a frequency 

sweep of 0.5 to 3 Hz. This corresponds to the rhythm of a manual massage and is therefor called Electromassage. 


Shaking-Massage 

To achieve a relaxing and comforting loosening of a muscle or muscle group we can apply a frequency 

sweep of 3 - 10 Hz. This will result in a vibration or shaking of the muscle and is therefor called Shakingmassage. 


Sport 

This is strong muscle training pure. The muscle is being brought to a strong tetanic contraction using 

SimulFAM ® X frequencies between 20 and 30 Hz. The intensity should be clearly above the motoric 

threshold to ensure a strong contraction. 

In order to let the muscle have the necessary relaxation pauses the training follows the cycle 5 s rise time, 

5 s holding time (contraction) and 20 s pause. 

A important innovation that gbo HighTone Therapy adds to the muscle training is that we can use a subthreshold 

32 kHz current (i.e. the user does not feel it) during the pauses to alleviate the metabolism and 

thereby greatly improve the muscles ability to be supplied with new nutrients and to get rid of waste 

products. This allows us to shorten the pause times and to achieve a much more efficient training effect. 

The length of the program is pre-set to 15 minutes but can be changed by the user.
