Chattanooga Vectra Neo
Chattanooga Vectra Neo Electrotherapy System
The Chattanooga Vectra Neo Electrotherapy System is a modular electrotherapy system: one touchscreen console that takes five plug-and-play modules for two- and four-channel stimulation, ultrasound, EMG biofeedback, which reads muscle activity, EMG-triggered stimulation and laser. Modules install with no manual configuration and can be added at any time. A clinic can start on stimulation and bring ultrasound or laser onto the same head later. Clinical Protocol Setup walks through each therapy step by step, with up to 100 protocol options on screen. The base unit is the display head, and it runs on a tabletop or on the optional cart, with modules and cart ordered as separate items.
The five modules slide into the side of the head: channel 1/2 stimulation, channel 3/4 stimulation, sEMG with channel 1/2 stimulation, ultrasound and laser. Each one carries its own connector faceplate, and the console adds that modality's screens as soon as the module is seated. A clinic that wants two stimulation channels this year and ultrasound the next buys the head once and adds the ultrasound module later. Each module measures 11.12 x 6.34 x 1.43 in. and weighs 1 lb, so a fully specified Neo takes no more bench space than a bare one.
The head measures 15.89 x 15.89 x 22.05 in. on a tabletop with the screen tilted to 45 deg, and it weighs 20.7 lb. On the optional therapy system cart, with the screen at 90 deg, the assembly measures 23.94 x 26.19 x 52.85 in., and the cart alone weighs 29.4 lb. Mains input is 100 to 240 V AC at 2.5 A to 1.25 A, 50/60 Hz, the head is Electrical Class I and rated IPX0, and the applicators that plug into it are rated IPX7. The Neo is built for a clinic treatment room and for an operator working at the touchscreen: they load the modules that room owns, pick a modality, set the output on that module, and bring back the treatments the room runs most often from the protocol library without retyping.
