10. Adjust the ultrasound power to the desired output intensity, by
turning the control knob clockwise to increase intensity and
counter-clockwise to decrease it. Remember to couple the
applicator to the patient while adjusting ultrasound power. The
amber LED marked for ultrasound will indicate that ultrasound
is being generated.
11. If the applicator is not in contact with the patient or
ultrasound is not being efficiently transmitted to the patient, the
LED in the symbol pictured to the left will blink. If inadequate
coupling occurs for more that 30 continuous seconds,
6
continuous seconds for CE model, the Sonicator Plus 992 will
automatically stop ultrasound output, beep twice and display
“E002” in the time display.
12. If you need to temporarily stop treatment press the hold button
pictured on the left. Remaining treatment time and selected
output power are displayed,
power reset for CE models .
Ultrasound power will stop. To resume treatment, press ,
readjust output power for CE model .
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 E002 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 three
times. Time and ultrasound power displays will display “0” and
ultrasound power will turn off.
