2. Press a Treat button on the handpiece to begin delivering treatment lines
between the treat guides on the transducer.
Keep your hand still and maintain a light constant pressure from the
transducer on the patient’s skin while delivering treatment lines.
The See button will light up momentarily during the treatment; the Treat
button will not be lit while energy is being delivered. A tone will sound
quickly for each TCP created and the green ruler will change to yellow to
indicate that treatment is occurring. You may adjust the volume of
sounds by tapping the Tools button and adjusting it up or down.
3. To deliver the next treatment line within the same treatment region, move
the transducer 2-3 mm to adjacent tissue and press the
Treat button.
Warning: Delivering lines without adequate spacing could overheat
tissue causing adverse events such as those listed in Section 2.6.
If 40 seconds have elapsed since delivering the last treatment line, press
the
See button on the handpiece to ready the system and then press the
Treat button again.
4. After approximately every five treatment lines, visually check the image to
determine if more gel needs to be applied.
A small film of gel, adequate enough to achieve good coupling, should
cover the window.
5. Continue delivering treatment lines until you complete the recommended
number for the region.
6. To terminate therapy at any time, press the See button on the handpiece
or lift the transducer off the patient’s skin.
Note: In case of emergency, press the red Emergency Stop button on
the front panel of the control unit.
7. To start treatment in another region, tap the desired region.
The previously treated region will change to the color of the transducer
that was used, and the selected region will become Active (white).
8. Previous treatment regions treated with a transducer other than the one
currently inserted may be reviewed by tapping the appropriate
transducer button on the left hand side of the screen.
9. When all regions have been treated, tap the End Treatment button in the
lower right corner of the DeepSEE screen and then tap Confirm End .
