The Soterix Medical 1×1-LTE is the only tDCS device optimized for susceptible populations with features optimized to reduce anxiety and sensation including SmartScan™, Relax™, and Tickle™. Additionally with an exclusive feature of Soterix Medical LTE™, makes it the most intelligent power and transient management system for currents up to 1.5 mA.
Limited Total Energy for tDCS (LTE-tDCS) was developed exclusively by Soterix engineers. LTE limits the voltage and power required for tDCS through the use of adaptive ramp-up stimulation and intelligent energy management for currents up to 1.5 mA. The Soterix Medical 1×1 tDCS-LTE includes the most advanced transient protection in the industry should an electrode become temporarily disconnected, for example due to subject movement. In addition, should resistance increase to atypical levels, LTE-tDCS will automatically reduce the applied current so as to maintain a low voltage.
"Soterix Medical tDCS-LTE is a unique system that provides an additional safety margin, without compromising efficacy, when stimulating susceptible subjects."

The difference between conventional tDCS and tDCS-LTE is that conventional tDCS applies a fixed ramp slope while tDCS-LTE varies ramp intensity to limit power delivery. Soterix tDCS-LTE also limits power transients that might occur during tDCS due to sudden changes in resistance. tDCS-LTE further enhances abort-protection features already enabled on all Soterix 1x1 devices. Finally, tDCS-LTE alerts the operator when a high-power condition occurs and automatically activates LTE to reduce power consumption.

The Soterix Medical Open-Panel™ control system was developed to allow simple dose setting in seconds. With easy-click control knobs to set stimulation duration and intensity, and back-lit status display visible even at a distance. SmartSCAN™ provides a constant indication of electrode quality and with Soterix Medical LTE™ automatically managing dose, allows you to focus on your subject from set-up, to stimulation, to ramp-down.
Soterix Medical 1×1 features were optimized by our biomedical engineers consulting closely with leading TBI rehabilitation clinics and pediatric neurologists. Designed for simple set-up, provide intelligent warning of a fault condition, and allow for adjusting for patient comfort , these features facilitate reliable and tolerated tDCS. The Soterix Medical SmartScan™ feature is central in all Soterix tDCS devices to allow reliable set-up and monitoring. The Relax™, Tickle™, and TrueCurrent™ innovations were developed for the 1×1 tDCS platforms. Limited Total Energy (LTE™) is available exclusively on the ×-LTE platform.
Limited total energy provides adaptive ramp-up stimulation technology to limit the required voltage.Advanced transient protection should an electrode become temporarily disconnected. LTE-tDCS will automatically reduce the applied current so as to maintain a low voltage should resistance increase to atypical levels. |
Provides a continuous visual indication of electrode quality before and during stimulation.From pre-stimulation set-up, to during stimulation monitoring, to post-stimulation confirmation, the Soterix Medical SmartScan™ feature provides an intuitive and clear indication of electrode contact quality. Use the SmartScan™ during set-up to adjust electrodes and head-gear for optimal fit. During stimulation, SmartScan™ provides a constant indication of electrode quality and can be monitored during adjustments (e.g. addition of saline to drying electrodes). After stimulation, SmartScan™ confirms a successful trial. Because “resistance” is not meaningful for tDCS, SmartScan™ was developed by Soterix Medical engineers to provide clinical investigators with a simple to read indication of contact quality. |
Clearly indicates the actual current supplied at the moment.What other devices promise, the 1×1 tDCS delivers. The back-lit display can be monitored during stimulation ramp up and to confirm target current intensity is achieved. |
May be used to supply a very weak current prior to tDCS to help condition the skin.Tickle™ may be used to both condition skin prior to tDCS or for naïve subject anxious about stimulation. A custom on-off waveform pattern generates mild and brief sensation under electrodes. |
Allows the clinician to use a simple sliding bar to transiently decrease the current from the pre-set value, for example based on subject feedback.Based on feed-back from leading clinical centers, Soterix Medical exclusive feature Relax™ accommodates subjects who may be anxious when stimulation is initiated or during the course of stimulation. The Relax™ slider may be adjusted from full to reduced intensity based on subject perception without interrupting or aborting stimulation. |

In tDCS one size does not fit all, and nowhere is this more sensitive than in susceptible populations. Soterix Medical scientists are working with leading pediatric neurology clinical research centers to refine and optimize dose strategies. With access to Soterix Medical Solution services and Software, tDCS 1x1-LTE users are part of this community and dialogue.
