ULTRASOUND PATIENT PREPARATION
1.
Examine the skin for any wounds and clean the skin.
Applicator Preparation and Use
2.
Clean applicator before each therapy session with warm
soapy water, check the applicator has no cracks prior
to use.
3.
Liberally apply transmission gel to the treatment area on
the patient.
4.
Move the applicator during therapy session in a circular
motion. The area treated should be:
• Twice the diameter of the applicator
2
• For 5cm
US applicator: three times the diameter of the
applicator if output power > 4 W, Continuous mode.
The applicator should always be held by the grip and not by the
Ultrasound Applicator head.
5.
If US Coupling is "On", the Applicator is properly coupled
to the patient and administering ultrasound when the LED
is constantly illuminated. If the applicator head becomes
uncoupled the LED on the head will flash. If "US coupling"
setting is ON, several beeps will be also heard until
the head is coupled again. Treatment time stops during
uncoupling.
NOTE: Ultrasound output will continue to be emitted in all US coupling
modes even if the applicator is uncoupled. The output power is reduced
to a very low level to prevent ultrasound head warming.
