7. Press B7 button to regulate therapy time: it’s possible to adjust
therapy time from 1 to 30 minutes (by steps of 1 minute) by using the
knob (3).
8. Put a good quantity of conductive gel on the area to be treated or on
the ultrasound head. It is recommended to use the conductive gel
supplied by the manufacturer or at least a gel bearing the CE mark.
9. Regulate the treatment intensity using the knob (8). Press the knob to
adjust unit of measurement W (Watt) or W/cm² (Watt/cmq).
10. Keep the head in constant contact with the skin and make sure that
the part is covered in gel so that the therapy can be effective. The
green LED located next to the head on the handpiece lights up when
the device is working.
11. The device is provided of a head/skin coupling
system for safety reasons. If the contact is not
correct and if the intensity is set above 0,5W,
the LED on the handpiece and the symbol on the
display will start flashing. The system is not available on the 1cm head
because of the reduced contact area, therefore the device emits an
ultrasound beam even if the head is not in contact with the skin. This
is not a defect but rather a technical choice, as it would be impossible
to perform therapies on small and irregular areas like toes or fingers
with such a system.
12. It’s possible to stop temporary the therapy at any time by pressing the
knob (3). Press again the knob to continue the treatment.
13. Press the orange button to stop immediately the ongoing
treatment.
It is recommended to carefully manage the handles in order to preserve their
integrity and performances.
Always use a proper conductive means so that the energy is correctly
transmitted from the ultrasound head to the skin. In fact, the air stops and
reflects completely the ultrasound beam. The best solution is using the gel: it
is the best means for the ultrasound energy transfer; therefore, it must be
applied to all the treatment area. Move the ultrasound head in circles; the area
to be treated has to be at least twice the area covered by the head.
If the area is not regular or if it does not allow a proper contact with the head
(as ankles or feet for instance) or in case the direct contact has to be avoid
(acute pain) it is possible to conduct the treatment under water. Use two liters
of water, with a temperature not higher than 25 ° C. The water should be
