The new iMRS Prime comes with an evolutionary hardware system – based on the similar concept pioneered by iMRSone Omnium1 system – which is a revolutionary at the time of the introduction in 2014. Despite that, the iMRS Prime hardware still introduces many “first” in term of software and hardware.
The iMRS Prime hardware system is a 3 piece component – (1) Touch screen control panel (2) Connector box and (3) applicators & accessories (i.e. bio-feedback sensor and brainwave entrainment headset). The separation of control panel and connector box is to allow more connection points to the system for advance split mode operation, whereby you run the iMRS Prime as two separate virtual systems (like Hyper-V virtual system) and control 2 sessions and separate applicators and accessories.
Touch Screen Control Panel
The new sleek, aluminium blushed touch screen control panel is both a designer and ergonomics product for functional purposes. With just one power cable from the connector cable to the control panel, you can now place the touch panel at a location that is easy to access without cluttering your space, as you can easily keep the connector box out of sight. The Touch control panel comes with a stand fixed at a 45-degree position for easy operation.
Connector Box
Extending the idea of separate connector component, the iMRS Prime connector box now supports a total of 10 simultaneous connection to applicators and accessories to support split mode operation – 6 applicators connection, 2 Exagon Sense connection, and 2 x Exagon Brain connection. The connection is separated into left and right – for split mode operation. For single-mode operation, it supports either left or right connection for 3 Exagon applicators (Mat, Pad and Spot), 1 Exagon Sense and Brain connections.
Hybrid FIR Mat
The Hybrid Far Infrared (FIR) Mat or Exagon FIR is one of the most significant new features introduced in the new iMRS Prime line up – under the Hybrid Configuration. The effect of low heat (up to a maximum of 45c) and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) offers a very complementary blend of stimulation that can be felt immediately at the sensory level, on top of the cellular stimulation and resonance from both the effect of FIR and PEMF.
Integrating FIR on top of PEMF needs careful engineering so to ensure the FIR layer doesn’t emit electromagnetic radiation that could interfere with the delicate PEMF signals generated by the iMRS system. Swiss Bionic Solutions adopted the non-radiative material, carbon fibre as the heating element. The type of carbon fibre used in Exagon FIR mat offers an extremely well-distributed heat (as seen in the picture below taken using FLIR FIR imaging)
Note: Hybrid / FIR session is activated through a dedicated Hybrid Program, or through a customized session in Trial mode. Starting with firmware 2.3x or higher, Hybrid/FIR feature can now be used with all Fast Start and iGuide programs. Information is accurate as of April 2024. This may change with different firmware release in future. Contact us for latest update.
Exagon Brain – Brainwave Entrainment
The new Exagon Brain is a complete redesign in both the hardware and software department. Like the iMRSone’s OmniBrain, it can now support 256 scales for each of the blue, green and red colour, with the possibility of millions of colour combination. Instead of 2 separate audio and light cables, there will just the goggle (light) cable to the headset. The audio now can be connected using any of your personal 3rd party ear phone or headphone that is using 3.5mm audio jack. This greatly simplify the system maintenance and flexibility.
In addition, you can now also upload and select the music playlist to the specific session.
You can also enable/disable the audio-visual brainwave entrainment before you start a session, instead of a global activation/deactivation as in the previous iMRS system.
Exagon Applicators
Exagon Applicators essentially follow the design of the flag-ship iMRS system, aside now it comes with a Spot, instead of Probe. There are few significant improvements:
Durable bio-medical grade Vinyl material
An LED indicator on each of the applicator – indicates the working and polarity status of the applicator.
New Exagon Spot Applicator in place of Probe.
Since the introduction of OmniSpot in the iMRSone Omnium1 series, the spot has been one of the most favourite applicators. Unlike probe, while offering high-intensity treatment, it can be used hands-free by simply wrapping the spot around the area like knee, ankle, elbow, etc.. The sandwich Helmholtz effect also offers a very effective treatment as compared to single directional application.
