TheraTouch® CX2/CX4/EX4

NAVIGATION
To optimize ultrasound transmission, clean
the skin of the treatment area with soap or
a 70% alcohol solution.
Any areas with excess hair should be
clipped or shaved to ensure good
conductivity.
During Treatment
The ultrasound applicator has to be moved
constantly, with the semi-static method.
During treatment, the displayed ultrasound
amplitude can vary around the set value,
caused by fluctuations in acoustical
coupling.
Ask the patient regularly about his/her
comfort level during and after treatment.
If necessary, the treatment will have to be
adjusted. The amplitude can be reduced or
the continuous mode can be changed to
pulsed mode or vice versa.
When there are signs that the ultrasound
transmission is bad, add more contact gel
or spread it with the applicator.
After Treatment
Clean the skin of the patient and the
ultrasound applicator with a towel or
tissue. Clean the applicator with a 70%
alcohol solution.
Ask the patient to inform the therapist of
any adverse reactions.
