19.  360° rotating joints for the applicator positioning 
20.  control knobs for positioning of the arm 
 

 

  When loosening the control knobs during handling the arm, always hold the arm with one 

hand and loosen the knob with the other, to prevent the injury of the operator or patient 
and damage to the arms. Before the start of therapy, always make sure that the control 
knobs are firmly tightened, to prevent the arm from moving during the therapy.  

  Keep  applicator,  accessories,  and  their  cables  separated.  Applicator  or  their  cables  in 

contact with each other during treatment could result in improper stimulation, skin burns, 
or damage to the cable or applicator. 

 

4.4  PATIENT SAFETY SWITCH 

The therapy can be terminated at any time during a treatment session by the patient pulling the 
Patient Safety Switch. If the therapy is stopped by pulling the safety switch: 
 

  The applicator immediately stops emitting electromagnetic energy. 

  The unit switches to pause mode. 

 
The  operator  can  resume  the  therapy  by  pressing  the  continue  button.  Please  refer  to 
Chapter 6.4 for further details.
