Pre-Progammed Settings for Pain Therapy
The Epic V comes from the factory already programmed with 12 settings specific to the type of
animal being treated. Treatment will vary depending on the type of animal, the color of its coat
(light vs. dark), and in some cases, its size. You can override and store these pre-sets based
on your results (see Section 7, “To store your personal preferred settings for any procedure
”
).
Always monitor patient response; adjust power and/or distance as needed for patient comfort.

•
Scar tissue has been associated with poor circulation and reduced cooling through heat
transport by blood; power settings may have to be reduced to avoid overheating.
•
Patients with tender or sensitive skin may be hypersensitive to heat; reduce power as
necessary to ensure comfort during treatment.
•
Patients with swelling and/or inflammation may be sensitive to heat; reduce power as
necessary to ensure comfort during treatment.
•
Do not treat open wounds.
