Chapter 9 – Individual therapy / individualise programs

It is possible to simultaneously individualise

one or several programs in the BICOM optima Pilot.

There is a special menu for this. Call it up in

the main menu “Therapy” using the symbol

“Individual therapy”.

A) Selecting the programs.

To individualise one or several programs you first have to select the appropriate

programs from the menu “Therapy program”. Proceed as follows:

1. Open up “Therapy program” first

and then select the appropriate programs.

2. Click on the “Individualise” button to take

you to the “Individual therapy” menu then click

onto “Chosen programs”.

3. The programs that were chosen are then

shown. Click onto the program you wish to

change.

All original parameters which are assigned to this

highlighted program are shown in the mask and which can be changed one by

one.

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


B) Setting the therapy mode

In the right upper edge of the window is the

list of therapy modes which can be

selected by simply clicking onto them.

C) Bandpass settings

Set the “Bandpass” setting, either

Frequency sweep” (SW)), “Manual”

(mid-frequency) or “All” with a simple

click in the corresponding field.

1. If you choose the “Frequency sweep”

you will have to determine the

sweep speed.

The sweep speed can be entered manually

into the field or …

…you can open a scroll window with the help of arrow keys and then select

the sweep speed.

2. If you choose the option “Manual”, you must

enter the mid-frequency of the

bandpass which

also can be entered manually in the corresponding

field.

Or you can open a scroll window using the

arrow key and select the needed mid-frequency.

When you enter the items manually you must enter the real numerical value

(e.g. for 10 Hz type 10, or for 52 kHz type the number 52 000), and confirm it with

the enter key.

Finally you decide whether a wobbling bandpass

will be used or not, by clicking on the

corresponding button.

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


3. When choosing the option “All” you don’t

have to do a further bandpass setting.

Therefore all other buttons are hidden in this

sector.

4. In the band pass setting the

“Low deep frequency” can also be selected.

The individual parameters are set as described

before. The bandpass in this case is shown in

green.

5. To test the frequency sweep speed mid frequency see section E.

D) Amplification settings

Please note that there are amplification settings for channel 1 (main channel)

and for channel 2 (only A therapy). The amplification settings are the same as in

the BICOM optima.

1. Channel 1 (main channel)

Constant = setting a constant amplification

Increasing sweep = Amplification SW (A-SW) from bottom to top

Decreasing sweep = Amplification SW from top to bottom

Increasing and decreasing sweep = Amplification SW increase and

decrease

Stepwise increase

Stepwise decrease

Simply click onto the corresponding field to

select the setting.

a) Constant amplification

The setting is done by manually entering

the values into the field and confirming

with the enter key. The values must

correspond to the amplification steps in

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


the BICOM device otherwise they will

not be accepted.

By using the arrow key you can open a scroll window to select the desired

amplification.

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


You can also set the amplification

steps with the slides below the push

buttons.

b) Amplification sweep

The amplification for H+Di is principally

set for Di as H is linked with Di. The

button for the H amplification is

hidden and is automatically set.

The set amplification always shows

the highest value. Di amplification

steps can be entered

manually into the

corresponding push

buttons alternatively by clicking onto the arrow

key, a scroll window opens up which shows

the choice of amplification steps.

The third alternative is to set the

amplification using the slide.

Lastly you must set the sweep speed,

using the same procedure as above.

There are three different types of amplification sweeps which are set in

the same way as mentioned before.

c) Stepwise increase and stepwise decrease

Set the amplifications for stepwise increase

and stepwise decrease as well as the time

per step in the same way as mentioned before

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


The time per step is in seconds, e.g. 10 or

60.

E) Testing parameters

Bandpass mid-frequency

Constant amplification

Sweep speed

In order to facilitate or rationalise testing for

the appropriate mid-frequency or

amplification, there is an automatic sweep

available. It can be activated with the function buttons “Test”.

Testing the Mid- frequency

Testing the Amplification

The procedure is the same for both

settings:

1. Clicking on one of these buttons opens

the following window.

2. Set the appropriate test speed and push Start.

3. You can see the actual frequency or the

actual amplification in the window

at the bottom.

F) Setting the therapy time

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


The next parameters to be set are

“Therapy time” and “Interval operation”.

The therapy time is selected with the help of the scroll window. The therapy time

is

indicated in whole minutes.

Finally you can indicate in the same field whether interval or continuous

operation will be more beneficial for the therapy

If you choose “Stepwise increase” or

“Stepwise decrease” when setting the

amplification, the therapy time is

determined by the time per step.

In this case the field for setting the therapy time is hidden.

G) Amplification for channel 2

Channel 2 is an additional therapy module in which supporting substances or

digitised frequency patterns can be applied to accompany a therapy.

Therefore channel 2 is always set to therapy type A which cannot be altered.

There are three options:

“No” = channel 2 is not switched on

“External” = a substance must be placed in the “input cup for channel 2”

“Substance complexes” = the digitised frequency patterns are called up

from the BICOM optima.

1. Channel 2 – External (Honeycomb/Input cup)

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


After placing a substance in the input cup for channel 2, only the

amplification and the therapy time can be adjusted. Usually, the medium

amplification can be left.

The settings can also be determined by a test method. See chapter 7

section E.

To set the therapy time click on to the corresponding field and select the

time from the pop-up menu.

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


2. Channel 2 – Substance complexes

Activating this button automatically switches you to the

“Substance complexes” window

After selecting the substance, in this case

„Streptococci“, click onto “Assign”, which

returns you to the “Individual therapy” menu.

The substance complex

“Streptococci” is documented

in the input cup for channel 2.

Note: Navigating between these two menus is only possible using the buttons

“Assign” and “Substance complexes”.

H) Starting the treatment

When you have chosen the parameter for a program, push the button “Apply”

to start the therapy

If you only want to use an individual program the therapy can be started

from the actual menu (“Individual therapy”), using the “Start” button

When you have individualised several programs you must press “Apply”

after each program. The programs in this case only can be started from

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


the menu “Therapy program”. They will be applied in the changed form

one after the other. The individualised programs are marked with an „*“.

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


“Standard values” is used to set a changed program back to its original

parameters.

Changed parameters are only for the actual therapy, except when

stored under a new 4 digit number. See below.

I) Warning: erroneous parameters

If you set a wrong parameter or forget

one, a window will appear informing you of

this circumstance.

J) How to store your own programs

If you want to store an individual therapy

for further use, click onto “Store as Therapy

program”. The dialogue window alongside

will appear in which you enter the following:

1. A special field under which you can call up

the program, e.g. “Diseases of the eye”. If the

special field does not yet exist, you can create

a new one via “Edit” and “Special fields”.

2. The software will suggest a number. If

a program number already exists the

next number will be displayed.

3. The program then shows an “Indication”, so

that it can be alphabetically listed in the program

list.

4. It is also possible to enter notes on the

placement of electrodes and the filling of the cup

electrodes in the “Notes” field.

Photos cannot be added.

Note: The program is stored in the BICOM optima Pilot and the BICOM optima.

2. Caution: The cables with banana plugs may only be used for the intended

purpose to connect the electrodes to the BICOM optima and not for any

other purpose. They must not be plugged into power supply sockets and/ or

similar arrangements.

Maintenance, hygiene, cleaning and technical inspections

1. With electrodes and other accessories, observe the cleanliness and hygiene

procedures in the guidelines on hospital hygiene and infection in your

country which are customary in medical practices.

2. Never test and treat patients with electrodes which have not been cleaned.

Dirt and coatings may affect or distort the test and therapy results.

______________________________________________________________________________


3. Never use petroleum-based cleaning agents to clean the device. A damp

(not wet) cloth, if necessary with mild soap suds, is sufficient for this. Keep all

solvents away from casing.

4. Do not spray any disinfectant fluids onto the keyboard or into the sockets.

5. Do not use any alcohol or spirit for the front glass. A monitor cleanser is

appropriate.

6. When pulling out the cables only grasp them at the plug to avoid damage.

This is not always noticed immediately

7. The BICOM and charger (AC adaptor) must undergo regular safety tests and

technical inspections in line with § 6 and 11 of the Medizinprodukte-

Betreiberverordnung (MPBetreibV) [regulations governing the setting up,

operation, use and maintenance of medical devices]. We recommend

testing by REGUMED service every 1 to 2 years, depending on frequency of

use.

______________________________________________________________________________


Cable test

1. Use the cable test to test the cables regularly. The cable in the back of the

device can remain plugged in and the other end is then fitted into the

socket labelled “cable test” on the front.

2. The modulation mat and the chip memory device are automatically

checked by the electronics.

Battery

1. The battery is a consumable device and therefore not covered by the

warranty.

2. If the device is not used for a prolonged period and not charged either, the

battery will still discharge slowly as the electric clock draws current from the

battery. To save the battery it is recommended that the battery is released

and removed (and, if necessary, the power supply also disconnected from

the device). The time and date must then be reset when the device is first

used again. See also the chapter on accessories. When the battery level

shows 25% the battery needs to be charged

3. If the device is not used for a prolonged period and not charged, it may

become totally discharged. Charge the battery for 30 to 60 minutes before

using the device.

If the battery keeps on discharging itself an internal protective circuit steps in

to keep the battery from completely discharging. The device will switch off.

After connecting the mains supply the device will need approximately 20

seconds before enough power has been loaded.

4. If after turning on the device the following message appears: “Please turn off

your device immediately and charge the battery. In case the charge

indicator of the battery does not show any %-numbers please contact

REGUMED immediately.” either the battery is completely discharged or there

is a technical defect. Charge the battery with the device turned off for

approximately 30 minutes and then turn the device on again. If the notice

appears again please contact our technical department.

5. The battery needs charging every 30 days if the device is not used.

Disposing of harmful substances

1. The battery within the device contains substances which are harmful to the

environment. Do not dispose of the battery with the household waste.

Regumed will take care of disposal of the battery and also of old devices

which are no longer required. In this case please contact Regumed: +49 89-

854 6101.

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


2. The test ampoules we supply do not contain any hazardous or active

materials. There is no danger of infection or contamination should they

break. The ampoules can be disposed of with the glass household waste.

3. The relevant provisions in the guidelines on hospital hygiene and infection

prevention issued in your country should be observed to prevent infection of

the user and other people when handling and disposing of bodily

substances where there is a risk of infection.

4. Electrodes and cables can be disposed of together with the old device at a

civic amenity site.

Electrode biocompatibility

The materials used which come into contact with the therapist and/or patient

are biocompatible.

Chapter 15 – General information for treatment

Caution

Emergencies (including suspected emergencies) such as heart attack,

anaphylactic shock, diabetic coma, hypoglycaemic shock, apoplexia, etc. are

the preserve of emergency medicine and should not be treated primarily with

BICOM bioresonance therapy.

Purpose

The device is intended for use in medical and naturopathic practices to cure,

alleviate or prevent diseases and should only be used by approved therapists or

by trained assistants under their supervision. It is not intended to be used by

amateurs.

1. General basic rules

Do not use too many programs at once in one session. Depending on

the patient’s responsiveness and resilience, perform 3, up to a

maximum of 6, therapies.

Select therapy programs in line with the empirical values contained in

our literature and referred to at our seminars or following testing

and/or diagnosis.

Give the patient plenty of still high-resistance water to drink following

therapy.

Do not place electrodes on open wounds.

The modulation mat does not need to be placed on the skin. It can

be placed on clothing. It is designed like this for practical reasons.

Consequently the material has not undergone a cutaneous tolerance

test. The material used is biocompatible.

Do not allow the patients to drink any alcohol the day they receive

therapy.

Activate eliminating organs if necessary.

It is recommended that chronically sick patients should not be treated

at intervals of less than 5 to 7 days.

Patients with acute illnesses can also be treated daily.

Ensure the room is adequately ventilated.

Always keep the operating instructions at hand to refer to.

Do not allow untrained staff or those who are unfamiliar with the

device to perform treatment.

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


It makes sense, and is even important, to ask the patient to report any

reactions which occur during therapy. These may be sensations of

warmth or cold, tingling, palpitations, pain, outbreaks of sweating or

sensations of pressure.

If possible, continue therapy with the same setting or the same

program until all the reactions which occurred during therapy have

subsided. There may be exceptional situations where the person

treating the patient must then themselves assess the risk of continuing

treatment such as with asthmatics, neurodermatitis sufferers,

epileptics, children with convulsions, etc.

2. Help with initial aggravation and hypersensitive reactions

Apply H therapy (no. 127) with the lowest amplification/ attenuation

or

H+Di (no. 128) with the lowest amplification/attenuation.

Give the patient plenty of still water to drink to eliminate toxins.

Search for possible therapy blocks.

Check the patient’s responsiveness and immune defence system.

If necessary, prescribe medication to support hepatic, renal or

bladder function and lymph discharge.

If unpleasant sensations such as dizziness or nausea or congestion in

the head occur during therapy or at the end of therapy, interrupt

therapy briefly and treat the patient with program 127 or 128 until they

feel better again. The original electrode positioning should be kept.

Therapy is then continued until the therapy stage is completed.

It should be noted here that slight initial exacerbation is thoroughly

desirable. Initial aggravation can generally be reduced by drinking

plenty of low-mineral water.

3. Particular considerations for pregnant women

Do not treat in the first three months of pregnancy for forensic reasons.

Do not specifically eliminate toxins, medication, etc. throughout the

entire pregnancy.

Do not place magnetic depth probes or magnetic articulated probes

on the abdomen.

4. Particular considerations for patients who are allergic to insect bites or have

an emergency set

Keep the emergency instruments handy after treatment just in case.

This applies with all other indications where these instruments were

needed in the past.

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


5. Patients with heart pacemakers

For forensic reasons do not place magnetic electrodes, and

especially magnetic articulated or magnetic depth probes, on or

near the pacemaker.

Do not place input and output electrodes on the implant.

6. Important considerations with neurodermatitis and asthma

The special recommendations in our literature and given at our

seminars should be observed with these particular symptoms.

Perform supporting measures beforehand and build up patient

physically.

Remove blocks and eliminate harmful substances carefully.

If necessary, prescribe abstinence from certain substances and

perform mycosis therapy.

Use allopathic remedies where this is absolutely necessary.

Finally treat neurodermatitis.

With asthmatic patients, keep the emergency instruments handy just

in case.

7. Particular considerations with autoimmune disorders (MS, rheumatism, etc.)

Never treat the immune system at the beginning

Determine and treat viral infections and mycosis or parasite

infestation.

Check organ function and begin with supporting measures.

Build the patient up physically.

Follow particular recommendations in our literature.

Test therapy time and amplification.

8. Important considerations with metal implants and if metal fragments are

present

Do not directly treat the site of the implant or of the fragment with the

magnetic depth probe or articulated probe.

9. Vital medication

Do not abruptly discontinue permanent medication or vital

medication but test whether they are tolerated.

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


10. Caution with permanent medication

Where patients are on long-term or permanent medication, they can

be expected to be blocked or their immune system severely

impaired. It is therefore recommended simply to perform basic

therapy at the start of BICOM therapy to allow the patient’s response

to be observed.

11. Anaesthetics and psycho pharmaceuticals and similar medication

When eliminating anaesthetics, psycho pharmaceuticals and

substances with a similar effect, alert the patient to the fact that road

safety may possibly be limited due to a temporary reduction in

responsiveness.

12. Hyperergic patients and those liable to anaphylactic shock

Do not start straight away by treating the allergen or toxin.

Ensure the emergency instruments are kept at hand.

Build up and stabilise organ function.

Take extreme care with the provocation test – only following clinical

safeguards.

13. Contra-indications with BICOM cupping electrode therapy

BICOM cupping electrode therapy should not be used on patients

with a high temperature

with advanced diabetes

with anaemia and leukaemia

with impaired blood clotting

with severe heart problems

with extreme tiredness and cachexia

during pregnancy

Take care also with bleeding cupping in patients with anti-coagulants.

Hygiene procedures, as mentioned and as required for dealing with active

tissue, should be observed.

14. Contra-indications with the magnetic field therapy (DMI – Dynamic Multi

Impulse Packs)

The DMI function should not be used on patients following organ

transplantation, haemorrhaging or with haemophiliacs and patients with a

www.reson8.uk.com

______________________________________________________________________________


tendency to haemorrhage.

15. Contra-indications with organ transplants

Attention with organ transplants: patients must take immunosuppressants due to

the risk of rejection. Using Bicom could be contra-indicative. Treatment must

therefore be considered carefully. Take particular care with immuno-stimulating

programs.

If uncertain, do not treat with bioresonance.

16. Physical reactions in the therapist

If bioresonance therapy makes therapists tired, they may have a tissue block in

their body which should be resolved. You are therefore recommended to fortify

yourself physically from time to time. In doing so, you will do yourself a favour as

well.

17. Training

The visit of an introductory seminar is obligatory. We do recommend furthering

your knowledge by attending an advanced seminar. Please ask your country

representative for the dates.
