•
The applicator cables should be placed in a way which prevents their contact with the
patient and with conductive or energy absorbing objects.
•
Before the start of therapy check that the insulation of the cables and the cover of the
applicator are undamaged.
•
The distance between applicator and skin should be small for surface warming and larger
for depth warming. A larger distance is necessary for obese patients in order to achieve
the necessary warming of deep-lying tissue.
The method of application transforms the electromagnetic energy into heat in tissues of low
blood circulation. The tissues near the skin’s surface are heated so that not only the transformed
energy but also the distance between applicator and skin is important for the subjective
sensation of heat.
For best results place the applicator parallel to the skin’s surface. This will spread out the energy
over the entire treatment area and prevent hot spots.
•
Do not allow applicator cables to come into contact with the patient. Use cable holder to
insulate the patient from the cables.

Treatment times depend on the required depth and area of treatment. Shorter times should be
used for areas of small tissue volume. Longer times should be used for larger tissue volume.
