Warnings
 Do not operate this device until the User Manual, including all Indications for Use, Contraindications, Warnings
and Precautions, have been carefully read and understood.
 Operation of this device or placement of lead wires, probes, pads and electrodes in close proximity (less than 5
feet) to an operating shortwave or microwave diathermy unit may produce instability in the device output or burns
at the treatment site. Since the patient may not feel the 27 MHz frequency, they lack the protective sensation and
tissue burns could result. Short-wave field could potentially damage or reset medical devices in close proximity
to the drum applicator.
 Treatment should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerves, (located in the anterior neck triangle), including,
stellate ganglion, vagus nerve, or laryngeal or pharyngeal muscle. Particular care should be taken for patients
with a known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex, as carotid sinus stimulation may alter blood pressure and
cardiac contractility.
 Do not apply treatment over heart. Thermal/sub-thermal treatment may affect organ function.
 Treatment should not be applied when high fever is present.
 Do not apply over the lumbar or abdominal region, or over the uterus during menstruation as therapy may
temporarily increase menstrual flow.
 Treatment should not be applied directly over external stimulator systems.
 The treatment head should be moved continuously during treatment to avoid discomfort and burns.
 An appropriate coupling medium should be employed in order to ensure energy transmission to the tissue.
