Failure to follow the manufacturer’s prescribed maintenance for this device may lead to device failure and
transient or unreliable performance. State and federal survey and JCAHO require all equipment to be
maintained and calibrated according to the manufacturer recommended schedules.
A potential electric shock hazard exists once the device outer casing has been in part, or fully, removed. Only
qualified service personnel should perform Service and repairs. Warranty will be voided if the outer casing has
been removed or tampered with.
Inspect and cleanse the skin prior to application. Following treatment check the skin for evidence of irritation
or burns, and if present, treat as appropriate. If the patient has, or complains of, skin irritation following
treatment; shorten the treatment time on the next treatment session, or use an alternative type of therapy or
applicator placement.
Gradually increase the output intensity/power to required dose or patient tolerance while monitoring the device display.
Caution should be taken with patient exhibiting psychological or physical hypersensitivity to the therapeutic
treatment. Several attempts should be made to place them at ease so that their confidence and cooperation can
be gained during the treatment.
The treatment area should be checked from time to time, and if there is evidence of, or if the patient complains
of, pain or overheating during treatment, adjust the output downward until it is tolerated by the patient. If the
patient continues to complain of pain or overheating, discontinue the treatment and shorten the treatment time
on the next treatment session, or use an alternative type of therapy or applicator placement.
Do not apply treatment directly over/under hot or cold packs. Caution is recommended when treatment follows
the application of hot or cold therapy, which may alter the patient’s sensation. Application of thermal agents
over areas of impaired circulation should be performed with caution as the circulation may be insufficient to
heat or cool the tissue, altering the patient’s perception of warmth and pain, and burns or tissue necrosis may
result from subsequent treatment.
Treatment should not follow the application of medicated patches, salves, or creams. The presence of electrical
stimulation may be altered by the presence of these materials on the patient’s skin. Some medications can alter the
patient’s sensation. Heat can also increase the absorption of medication and may be contraindicated. If there is a
medical necessity to perform such treatments, these patients should be monitored diligently during application.
Caution should be used when applying thermal ultrasound over areas of body where circulation is impaired, or
which lack normal sensation. Absent or diminished sensation should be avoided or, if unavoidable, treated with
caution. Establishment of acceptable intensity levels for desensitized areas may be related to the intensity levels
tolerated on normal skin in opposite or related body parts.
Do not connect this device to any electro medical equipment for combination therapy except the Omnistim
®
family of electro stimulators.
Do not immerse any part of the operator’s body into the water bath during underwater techniques since the
long-term biophysical effects of ultrasonic energy exposure have not been evaluated.
Over acute skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, etc.
