
Keep cables at least several inches away from any objects or material, especially metal or grounded objects.

Do not lean on or hold the cables while the generator is activated. In addition to the strong heating effect, a
deteriorated cable could break down and expose the user to high voltages.

Keep all line cords away from the diathermy unit cables. Do not store or coil line cords where they can come close
to the cables on an operating diathermy unit.

Before increasing generator output in response to a report of inadequate patient heating, verify that cables are
properly routed, evenly spaced, and away from any metal or grounded objects. The heating effect may be "stolen"
from the patient at a spot where the cables are close to a metal object or each other. Increasing the generator output
under these circumstances will cause increased heating at that spot.

Use a nonconductive treatment table and a mattress or couch without metal parts (e.g., decorative buttons, springs)
near the patient, applicators, or cables. Do not use conductive mattresses or mattress covers.

During application of shortwave diathermy, the operator and any other patients should stand at least 2 feet from the
device.

Do not apply shortwave diathermy over areas with excess adipose tissue.

All equipment and accessories should be kept out of the reach of children or unqualified persons.

Do not apply over areas of hemorrhage or active bleeding.

Avoid applying to the body if wet. Dry the area thoroughly, as water in the treatment field may lead to uneven
heating.

All hearing aids should be removed during shortwave diathermy treatment.

Do not turn on the output of the Megapulse
®
II until the head (Drum) is properly placed above/over the treatment
area.

Caution should be used when applying thermal shortwave over areas of body which lack normal sensation.
Absent or diminished sensation should be avoided or, if unavoidable, treated with caution. Establishment of
acceptable intensity levels for desensitized areas may be related to the intensity levels tolerated on normal skin
in opposite or related body parts.
