Handpiece The handpiece contains the pulse generator, a water cooling system, and the slot
for the applicator head. It is connected to the rear of the SysCart.
Note : The pulse generator in the handpiece is a wear part and needs to be replaced after
a certain period as its ability to function decreases with time.
Zimmer MedizinSysteme GmbH guarantees unrestricted application of at least two
million pulses per one pulse generator. Depending on the power and frequency,
more than two million pulses can be generated.
To work with the handpiece on the patient, the applicator head must be screwed
firmly and completely into the handpiece.
Applicator head One applicator size is available for the application.
Changing the
applicator heads
To change the applicator head for each specific handpiece, hold the handpiece
with one hand and unscrew the applicator head from the handpiece with the other
hand, turning in anti-clockwise direction. Then screw in the new head by turning
clockwise until it stops.
Note : The applicator head is a wear part and needs to be replaced after a certain period
of use.
Footswitch Place the corresponding footswitch in such a way that it can be easily reached
during the application. The control panel of the switch is independent of direction;
an exact alignment of the footswitch is therefore unnecessary. To avoid damage,
ensure that only slight pressure is exerted on the switch. The operation is
performed with the front foot – not the heel.
The switch has no locking system i.e. the activation remains as long as pressure is
applied on the switch.
