DEFINITION

Classification: 607/2

Electrical therapeutic systems:

(under subclass 1) Subject matter wherein an electrical

signal is generated for application to electrodes or other applicators to stimulate body tissue for effecting a cure or alleviation of the effects of an abnormal condition or injury, or to restore normal or quasi-normal operation to a body part or the monitoring or controlling of such generation.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

4+, for subject matter relating to stimulators for a specific purpose or for use on a specific portion of the body.

45+, for electrical signals applied to the body to produce heating effects.

59+, for subject matter relating to special circuits useful for generating a stimulus.

66+, for subject matter relating to stimulation signals not otherwise classified.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS 600, Surgery,

300+, for diagnostic systems, particularly subclass 554 wherein the subject's body response to an electrical stimulus is measured.
