ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
When administering Radial Pressure Wave treatment, keep
in mind the following:
• Radial Pressure Wave treatment should be applied
with caution over bone where minimal (bony
prominence) or no (Stage IV wounds) soft tissue is
present.
• Hearing aids should be removed.
• The function of other patient connected equipment
may be adversely affected by the operation of the
pulsed radial pressure wave equipment. Maintain
maximum distance between devices in order to
reduce any tendency to interaction. Refer to the
EMC tables at the end of this manual for more
information.
• Any bleeding tendency is increased by heating
because of the increase in blood flow and vascularity
of the heated tissues. Care, therefore, should be used
in treating patients with therapeutic Radial Pressure
Wave treatment who have bleeding disorders.
• Frequent monitoring of intensity level and skin
response should occur during all treatments.
• Always apply the transmitter on the skin with small
circular movements.
• Never use Radial Pressure Wave therapy on the head.
• Do not treat direct in an area with a metal implant.
• Patients with active autoimmune diseases may not
respond positively with the treatment
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Side effects could occur after a treatment with Radial
Pressure Wave therapy. The majority will appear after 1-2
days. Do not repeat a treatment until the previous side
effects have diminished. Common side effects include:
• Erythema, reddening
• Swelling
• Pain
• Hematoma
• Petechiae, red spots
• Skin lesions after previous cortisone therapy
• These side effects generally abate after 5 to 10 days
