Preparation and Treatment Guide
It is advised that the operator wear ear plugs or sound - blocking headphones. For
treatments close to the face, you may offer the patient ear plugs or headphones.
1. Identify the area to be treated. You may wish to use a washable marker to mark the
area which makes it easier to have an overview of all the areas needing treated.
2. Cover the shockhead with cling film (such as Saran ™ Wrap) for sanitary purposes.
Check that no air bubbles are trapped under the film; pressure pulses do not go
through bubbles of air.
3. Pressure pulses travel only through liquid; use ultrasound or other gel liberally on
areas to be treated.
4. Select the correct shockhead and shake it vigorously at least 5 - 6 times prior to use to
prepare the shockhead to make the best quality pulses.
5. Set the number of pulses.
6. Set the energy level.
7. Place the shockhead against the area to be treated and press the start button.
8. The shockhead should be moved around the treatment area to change the angle of
the wave. This also prevents the echo effect of returning waves.
9. When treatment is completed, remove the cling wrap from the shockhead and
dispose of it in a secure bin. Provide patients with a towel to remove the gel from
their skin.
The CellSonic VIPP machine is equipped with a foot pedal which you may find makes
the on/off feature easier to use.
You can opt to use the “ Soft Start ” option on the keypad. The machine can be set to start
at a lower energy level more tolerable to the patient, and automatically rise to higher
energy levels. The analgesic effect numbs the nerves, thus improving the treatment by
avoiding anesthetics which are known to reduce the effect of pulses on soft tissue.
This treatment complements ultrasound, friction, and other methodologies a doctor or
physiotherapist would look to apply.
