We recommend that HIVAMAT
®
200, no matter if with or without the applicator, is only applied by quali-
fied physiotherapists or under direction of those.
CAUTION
Refrain from HIVAMAT
®
200 treatment if the therapist or patient carry cardiac pacemakers or
other implanted stimulators. Equally, therapy must not be per-formed on patients or by ther-
apists who are particularly sensitive to electric fields, in case of heart complaints or pregnancy.
Attend to the contraindications to HIVAMAT
®
200 therapy (refer to
on
page 3)!
When using HIVAMAT
®
200, switch off or plug off electrocardiographs and other diagnostic
devices for recording endogenous signals.
1.5 Application
The function of HIVAMAT
®
200 is based on a pulsed electrostatic field which is built up in the patient's
body region to be treated. Its frequency changes between 5 - 250 Hz, according to the selected indication.
Due to the movement of the applicator, a vibrating or pumping effect with deep impact is induced in the
patient's tissue.
Treatment with HIVAMAT
®
200 has the following positive effects on the treated tissue:
•
trophic enhancement
•
muscle relaxation
•
pain reduction
•
edema reduction
•
inhibition of inflammations
•
enhancement of wound healing
1.6 Contraindications
Therapy with HIVAMAT
®
200 is not indicated in the following cases:
•
acute inflammations with participation of pathogenic agents
•
infectious skin diseases
•
acute venous diseases (varicophlebitis, thrombophlebitis, deep venous thromboses)
•
malignant processes
•
patients and therapists with cardiac pacemakers and other electronic implants
•
heart disorders and diseases, especially cardiac insufficiency, decompensated cardiac edema
•
cardiac arrhythmia
•
hypersensitivity to electrostatic fields
•
pregnancy
