the different modules. The different structures enable individual adjustment of
the stimulus intensity to the treatment goal or the needs of the person concerned.
The ergonomic shape is particularly well suited for use on convex parts of the
body and the treatment of larger body surfaces, including the lateral back musc-
les, chest muscles, hindquarters and forehand muscles. Treatment close to and
around bony structures (hip, shoulder) is also possible.
Oval attachment
· Efficient smoothing out of the body structures,
right into the fasciae
· Slight scraping possible over the long side
· Elliptical shape allows deflecting movement
Grip module
· More grip
· Gentle sensory input, light stimulating application
· Rounded ends prevent scratching
Nub module
· 107 ergonomically arranged tips
· Stimulating application and intensive sensory input
on the skin surface
· Smooth gliding even through thick fur and hair
structures
Trigger module
· Bilateral point stimulation
· Tactile two-point stimulation
· Gently smoothing out of muscle strands
· Intercostal stimulation (intermediate ribs)
NOTE: Vibration therapy primarily relieves the symptoms, but does not cure the
underlying disease. Using the Modular Set does not replace visiting the doctor.
NOTE: The use of local vibration therapy for muscle relaxation in neurological
disorders or voice and swallowing therapy should only be carried out by specialist
personnel (therapists, doctors, nursing staff) or after thorough instruction by such
a person.
NOTE THE CONTRAINDICATIONS in Chapter 8 and the instructions in Chapter 6.
In all cases, local vibration therapy is used as one element in a comprehensive
therapy plan where muscle relaxation is needed for further exercises and training
elements. NOVAFON devices can be used for animals with a body weight of 3 kg or
more. When treating horses: Pay attention to occupational safety.
Can be used by people aged 6 and over. With therapeutic supervision, use is pos-
sible in patients from 2 years of age. Children must be supervised. The same
may apply to people with impaired cognitive or motor control (as is often seen in
patients with spasticity).
DO NOT USE in the treatment of pain or swelling of unknown origin. In this case,
contact your doctor or therapist for clarification and diagnosis.
Note: All attachments can be used directly on the skin, on the fur/hair as well as
through textiles. No gel or similar is needed.
3.3 ATTACHMENT ON THE NOVAFON DEVICE
The oval attachment is fixed to the device via a magnetic plug connection. The
attachment is fixed by simply connecting it into the holder of the device; the inten-
ded position has been reached when the brackets on the device and the attach-
ment lie seamlessly on top of each other. The magnets help you to find the end
position. Before initiating the treatment, make sure that the attachment is locked
in the intended end position. The attachment can be easily detached from the
device by turning it a quarter of a turn and pulling gently.
3.4. CONNECTING A CLICK MODULE TO THE OVAL ATTACHMENT
First remove the oval attachment from the device and only then attach the click
module.
Place the smooth surface of the oval attachment on the back of the selected click
module. First push one of the long sides of the oval attachment into the frame
of the module and fix it with the thumb at the level of the side flaps. Now press
the other side of the oval attachment into the opposite tab until you hear a cli-
cking sound. If necessary, press the second tab slightly outwards to allow the oval
attachment to snap into place correctly.
3.5.CHANGING THE CLICK MODULES
First detach the oval attachment from the unit and only then remove or change
the module. To change or remove the Click module, pull the two side tabs of
the module apart to the side. Press one side down slightly, away from the oval
attachment. There is another slight clicking noise. Then remove the other tab
from the oval attachment as well. Select and attach another module as required
(see Section 3.4).
