DEVICE TO SEARCH ACUPUNCTURE POINTS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, medicinal equipment. SUBSTANCE: device is based upon multi-electrode principle to search acupuncture points based upon determination of differences in resistances of skin under central active electrode and active electrodes steadily situated along the circle around central active electrode. Also device has passive electrode, comparators, coincidence scheme, indicator and power source. Voltage repeater and additional passive electrode with corresponding bonds are added that enabled to exclude errors to reveal acupuncture points due to an impact of indifferent area cutaneous resistance of additional passive electrode location. EFFECT: higher reliability of revealing acupuncture points at searching upon a skin parts of different average electroconductivity. 5 dwg, 1 tbl
