ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
When administering Radial Pressure Wave treatment,
keep in mind the following:
• Radial Pressure Wave treatment should
be applied with caution over bone where
minimal (bony prominence) or no (Stage IV
wounds) soft tissue is present.
• Hearing aids should be removed.
• The function of other patient connected
equipment may be adversely affected by the
operation of the pulsed radial pressure wave
equipment. Maintain maximum distance
between devices in order to reduce any
tendency to interaction. Refer to the EMC
tables at the end of this manual for more
information.
• Any bleeding tendency is increased by
heating because of the increase in blood flow
and vascularity of the heated tissues. Care,
therefore, should be used in treating patients
with therapeutic Radial Pressure Wave
treatment who have bleeding disorders.
• Frequent monitoring of intensity level
and skin response should occur during all
treatments.
• Always apply the transmitter on the skin with
small circular movements.
• Never use Radial Pressure Wave therapy on
the head.
• Do not treat direct in an area with a metal
implant.
• Patients with active autoimmune diseases
may not respond positively with the
treatment
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Side effects could occur after a treatment with Radial
Pressure Wave therapy. The majority will appear after
1-2 days. Do not repeat a treatment until the previous
side effects have diminished. Common side effects
include:
• Erythema, reddening
• Swelling
• Pain
• Hematoma
• Petechiae, red spots
• Skin lesions after previous cortisone therapy
• These side effects generally abate after 5 to
10 days
