10. Press the start key to begin treatment.
11. If you need to temporarily stop treatment press the stop key pictured on the
left. Remaining treatment time and set intensity will be displayed.
Ultrasound power will stop and the indicator showing output on the
display will go out. To resume treatment press the start key pictured in
number 10 above.
12. If the applicator is not in contact with the patient or ultrasound is not being
efficiently transmitted to the patient, the ultrasound symbol pictured will
blink. The blue LED in the applicator 5 or 10 cm² handle will blink if contact
is lost.

13. If inadequate coupling occurs for more than 30 continuous seconds the
Sonicator 740 will automatically cease ultrasound output, beep twice and
display the symbol to the left.
13. Notes on coupling : Failure to efficiently transmit therapeutic dosages of ultrasound to the patient can
be caused by the following:
a) Treatment of an irregular area where it is impossible to keep the applicator surface in contact with
the gelled patient area. In this case you can try to use a little more gel or perform underwater
treatment, if the treatment area is submersible in water.
b) An inappropriate couplant is being used. Only materials that efficiently transmit ultrasound
should be used for therapeutic ultrasound applications. Some creams and oil-based preparations
are not efficient ultrasound couplants. If you use these materials the coupling indicator LED may
blink and

may be displayed.
c) Areas of heavy body hair will trap air beneath the hair and prevent ultrasound transmission.
Shaving the treatment area prior to treatment or thoroughly wetting the area prior to the
application of couplant will result in more efficient transmission of ultrasound.
14. When the set treatment time has elapsed, the unit beeps. Time will be “0” and ultrasound power
display will show the set power. The ultrasound power will turn off.
4.2 Combination Therapy Using the Sonicator 740
Application of simultaneous therapeutic ultrasound and electrical neuromuscular stimulation can be
accomplished using the Sonicator 740 with any Sys*Stim
®
electrical neuromuscular stimulator from Mettler
Electronics Corp.
In this technique, the applicator delivers the ultrasonic energy and becomes the active electrode for muscle
stimulation. Follow the instructions below to administer combination therapy.
Instructions for Combination Therapy:
Combination therapy may be performed by plugging any Sys*Stim muscle stimulator active lead wire
(black) into the banana jack located on the back of the Sonicator 740, (Figure 3.1). Use a pin-to-banana adapter
to convert the pin end of lead wire so that it will fit into the banana jack on the unit. The banana jack is identified by
the symbol:
The dispersive lead wire (red) is connected to a dispersive electrode which is applied to the patient to
complete the electrical circuit. When the electrical output is generated by the stimulator, it will be passed
through the metal ring on the applicator head by means of this connection.
Please review all neuromuscular electrical stimulation precautions and contraindications listed in the
Sys*Stim instruction manual before proceeding with combination therapy.
The timer on the Sonicator will control the length of time ultrasound is delivered. The Sys*Stim timer is
placed into timer bypass during combination therapy. Press “Start” on the Sonicator 740 and “Start” on the
