Product Description
The device has a round ultrasound head which is placed directly on the patient's skin and transmits ultrasonic waves.
This involves applying an ultrasonic gel which optimises the transmission of the ultrasonic waves on the whole head.
A frequency of 1 MHz is used in the ultrasound treatment.
The waves are generated by a piezoelectric e
ff
ect which is caused by crystals vibrating inside the device head. The
sonic waves which penetrate the skin cause the tissue to locally oscillate. This oscillation or cavitation can lead to
local deep heating. The sonic waves can be used with continuous ultrasound or pulsed ultrasound.
As well as the potential heating, ultrasound can also be used to produce lots of other e
ff
ects. An ultrasound treatment
demonstrably promotes relaxation of the tissue, local blood
fl
ow and the breakdown of scar tissue. The increased
blood
fl
ow can help to reduce local swelling and chronic in
fl
ammation. The intensity of the ultrasound can be adjusted
to deliver the e
ff
ect you want.
Before Initial Use
• Read through the operating instructions carefully to be able to take advantage of all the bene
fi
ts of your new
“ultrasound pain therapy device”. However, these operating instructions are not a substitute for consultation with
your doctor.
• Make sure before using the device that all packaging materials have been removed and the device and acces-
sories have no visible damage. If you are in any doubt, do not use the device and contact your dealer or the
