This manual contains general

instructions for the operation,

application and care of

PainShield

. To obtain

maximum life and efficiency

from PainShield

and to assist

in its proper operation, please

read and understand this

manual thoroughly.

PainShield

is to be used only

as directed in this manual.

PainShield

uses ultrasound therapy for the relief

of acute or chronic pain and muscle spasms. It

was developed as a next generation wearable

ultrasound system which transforms conventional

therapeutic ultrasound technology into a small and

portable ultrasound therapy unit. It is designed to

work along with the human body and maximise the

safe and effective delivery of a long- duration

therapeutic effect.

PainShield

is simple to use and operates on a

broad range of body areas, allowing the delivery

of ultrasound treatment for up to 6.5 hours, at a

preset frequency of 90 kHz. Treatment is delivered

via an ultrasound actuator, which is applied and

secured to the surface of the body using single-use

adhesive patches.
