Introduction to the Dynatron 150plus

Your new Dynatron 150plus gives you a wide range of treatment capabilities, yet it is
compact, convenient and simple to use with its user-friendly touch panel for easy
treatment setup. Here are some highlights of your Dynatron 150plus:

• Patented Multi-Frequency Ultrasound. With the Dynatron 150plus you can

select three different frequencies without changing the soundhead. The
2 cm

2

, 5 cm

2

, and 10 cm

2

soundheads each operate at 1, 2, and 3 MHz.

• Customizable Duty Cycle. Select from 10, 20, 50 percent, and Continuous

duty cycle options.

• Head Warming. When the device is ON but idle, the soundhead is warmed

automatically. Head warming may be turned OFF, if it is not desired.

• Coupling Sensing. If coupling becomes inadequate during a treatment, the

displays flash and an audible beep is sounded to notify the user that coupling
should be corrected. If your device is version 1.04 or above, a bar graph will
appear.

• Modify Treatments In Progress. You can modify treatment time, power,

frequency, or duty cycle while a treatment is in progress. It is not necessary
to stop the treatment.

• Portable. The Dynatron 150plus is small and light-weight making it readily

portable. An optional carry case is available from your Dynatronics dealer.

• Optional Battery Operation. The device may be operated with power

supplied by an optional battery, offering greater flexibility in treatment sites.

• Two-Year Warranty on the device and soundheads.

This manual provides instructions for Ultrasound setup and treatment with the
Dynatron 150plus. Please read this manual, particularly the section on
contraindications, warnings, and precautions, before treating a patient with this
device.

About Ultrasound

Ultrasound therapy is supported by a wealth of scientific literature. Channeling
sound waves through muscle, nerve, bone, and connective tissue has been
documented to aid in reducing pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures. The
