Applicator
The applicator is delivered as an accessory. The total number of acoustic waves
available in the applicator are 100,000 acoustic waves at an energy level of 1-10. At
an energy level of 11-16 the number of total acoustic waves 70 000. Once the
applicator is depleted, it should be exchanged with a new one. The device shows
the residual number of acoustic waves (Figure 34). The number of acoustic
waves per treatment session is dependent upon the indication.
For the activation of
connective tissue, the recommended paradigm is 2000 acoustic waves delivered per
treatment session. However, the health care provider must use their best judgment for
the patient based upon anatomy and treatment area.
The applicator consists of the following parts (Figure 4):
1 Applicator housing
2 Water membrane
3 Acoustic wave release button

Applicator
The applicator delivers the acoustic waves to the treatment area of the patient. The
contact will be achieved via the water membrane (2) and ultrasound gel.
The applicator contains:
Electrode (not visible in the picture)
Reflector (not visible in the picture)
Water membrane (2)
The applicator is connected to the basic unit via a connection adapter. In the
insulated, flexible hose of the applicator there are the high voltage cable, the water
supply hoses and the electric signal cable located.
