“CAUTION: SURFACE MAY BE HOT”
Although Meditech has taken every reasonable precaution to
ensure that the treatment arrays do not become too hot or
uncomfortable for the patient, they still may.
It is the responsibility of the administering practitioner to ensure
the PATIENT’S SAFETY. Prior to starting each treatment, the
patient should be warned that the treatment arrays may become
uncomfortable and that they should notify the administering
practitioner, if they do.
To prevent the treatment array from becoming too warm or
uncomfortable to the patient, it is recommended that the operator
should cool them after 20 minutes of use (e.g. one patient treated
for 20 minutes or four patients treated for 5 minutes each etc.)
by using Meditech’s fan for 2 minutes or 6 minutes at ambient
temperature (without a cooling fan). The above mentioned cooling
procedure applies to protocols with continuous wave mode of
operation at 100% power. With protocols using modulation mode
of operation and/or less power, treatment times can be longer
between cooling periods.
Use caution if very young children or pets are in the patient
environment. It is recommended that the operator should
prevent children from unintentionally touching the treatment
array surfaces because they may not be aware of potential
surface temperatures.
DO NOT
cover the treatment arrays during the treatment
because the top surface removes excess heat into the surrounding
environment.
