Ultrasound therapy
•
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous exposure to
ultrasonic energy.
•
Do not conduct ultrasound therapy on patients with implants or any other
implanted electronic device unless the risk has been assessed and found
to be negligible.
•
Patients must not be connected to a radio-frequency surgical device at
the same time. This may result in burns.
•
Operation of the ultrasound device in the vicinity (e.g., within 1 m) of
strong electromagnetic fields (e.g., tomographs, X-ray or diathermy
devices) may interfere with the operation of the device. Please maintain a
safe distance of several metres.
•
Handle the ultrasound head carefully as rough treatment may alter its
properties. Do not bring the ultrasound head into contact with sharp or
pointed objects as the aluminium head is easily scratched.
•
Disinfect the ultrasound head with standard disinfectants after use.
•
Use a coupling agent which is intended for ultrasound treatment and has
high electrical conductivity.
•
Use a coupling agent which is a cleared medical device on the US
