Intelect® Neo Clinical Therapy System
Indications
To provide topical heating for the following:
• Increasing local blood circulation
• Relieving minor muscle and joint aches, pains, and
stiffness
• Relaxing muscles
• Relieving muscle spasms
• Relieving minor pain and stiffness associated with
arthritis
• Promoting nerve regeneration, bone growth, and
ligament repair
• Healing wounds
Contraindications
The Intelect® Neo Clinical Therapy System Laser should
NOT be used:
• Where analgesia may mask progressive pathology,
and where the practitioner would normally avoid
the use of any other analgesia in order to retain the
beneficial aspects of pain
• For direct aim into the eyes of humans or animals over
areas injected with steroids in the past 2-3 weeks
• Over areas that are suspicious or contain potentially
cancerous tissue
• Over areas of active hemorrhage
• Over a pregnant uterus
• Over the neck (thyroid or carotid sinus region) or chest
(vagus nerve or cardiac region of the thorax)
• Directly over areas with open wounds, unless covered
with a clear protective barrier
• Treatment over sympathetic ganglia
• For symptomatic local pain relief unless etiology
is established or unless a pain syndrome has been
diagnosed
• On patients suspected of carrying serious infectious
disease and/or disease where it is advisable, for
general medical purposes, to suppress heat or fevers
• Over or near bone growth centers until bone growth is
complete
• Over the thoracic area if the patient is using a cardiac
pacemaker
• Over or applied to the eye
• On ischemic tissues in individuals with vascular
disease where the blood supply would be unable to
follow the increase in metabolic demand and tissue
necrosis might result
Indications
Application of therapeutic deep heat for the treatment of
selected sub-chronic and chronic medical conditions such
as:
• Relief of pain, muscle spasms and joint contractures
• Relief of pain, muscle spasms and joint contractures
that may be associated with:
- Adhesive capsulitis
- Bursitis with slight calcification
- Myositis
- Soft tissue injuries
- Shortened tendons due to past injuries
and scar tissues
• Relief of sub-chronic, chronic pain and joint
contractures resulting from:
- Capsular tightness
- Capsular scarring
Contraindications
• This device should not be used for symptomatic local
pain relief unless etiology is established or unless a
pain syndrome has been diagnosed
• This device should not be used when cancerous
lesions are present in the treatment area
• Other contraindications are patients suspected
of carrying serious infectious disease and disease
where it is advisable for general medical purposes to
suppress heat or fevers
• This device should not be used over or near bone
growth centers until bone growth is complete
• This device should not be used over the thoracic area
if the patient is using a cardiac pacemaker
• This device should not be used over a healing fracture
• This device should not be used over or applied to the
eye
• This device should not be used over a pregnant uterus
• Tissue necrosis might result if the device is used on
ischemic tissues in individuals with vascular disease,
where the blood supply would not keep up with the
metabolic demand
Additional Precautions
Additional precautions should be used when ultrasound is
used on patients with the following conditions:
• Over an area of the spinal cord following a
laminectomy, i.e., when major covering tissues have
been removed
• Over anesthetic areas
• On patients with hemorrhagic diatheses
