GENERAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
8
• Read, understand, and practice the precautionary and operating instructions. Know the limitations and hazards associated with
using any electrical stimulation or ultrasound device. Observe the precautionary and operational decals placed on the unit
• The unit should be routinely checked before each use to determine that all controls function normally; especially that the intensity
control properly adjusts the intensity of the electrotherapy and ultrasonic power output in a stable manner. Also, determine that
the treatment time control actually terminates electrotherapy and ultrasonic power output when the timer reaches zero.
• This unit should be operated in temperatures between 41°F and 104°F (5°C and 40°C), with relative humidity ranging from 15%-90%,
and where the atmospheric pressure is between 70 k Pa and 106 kPa.
• This unit should be transported and stored in temperatures between 41°F and 104°F (-20°C and 60°C), with relative humidity
ranging from 10%-90%, and where the atmospheric pressure is between 50 kPa and 106 kPa.
• DO NOT disassemble, modify, or remodel the unit or accessories. This may cause unit damage, malfunction, electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury.
• DO NOT use sharp objects such as a pencil point or ballpoint pen to operate the buttons on the control panel.
• DO NOT permit any foreign materials including, but not limited to, liquids such as water and cleaning agents, inflammables, and
metallic objects to enter the unit. To prevent unit damage, malfunction, electrical shock, fire, or personal injury.
• DO NOT remove cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit. If a malfunction occurs, discontinue use immediately
and consult the dealer for repair service.
• Before each use inspect cables and connectors.
• Handle the applicator with care. Inappropriate handling of the applicator may adversely affect its characteristics.
• Do not drop the applicator on hard surfaces. This is likely to damage the ultrasound head crystal. Damage resulting from this
condition is not covered under the warranty.
• Before each use, inspect the applicator for cracks, which may allow the ingress of conductive fluid.
• Electrotherapy output current density is inversely related to electrode size. Always exercise caution with current densities more
2
than 2mA/cm . Improper application may result in patient injury. If any question arises as to the proper electrode size, consult a
licensed practitioner prior to therapy session.
• For waveforms with a DC component:
» Do not shave electrodes application area
» Warn the patient that tingling sensation under electrodes is normal and it is not linked to burn risk.
» Rinse thoroughly treatment area with tap water immediately after the treatment
• Where the integrity of the external protective earth conductor arrangement is in doubt, equipment shall be operated from its
internal electrical power source, the battery.
• The battery pack should be removed when storing the unit for extended periods of time.
• Using a high intensity electrotherapy setting in conjunction with high intensity ultrasound setting may cause the unit to reset.
• Failure to use and maintain the Intelect Transport 2 device and its accessories in accordance with the instructions outlined in this
manual will invalidate your warranty.
