2. Intended use
Multifunctional unit PhysioGo 700C / 701C is an active, non-invasive therapeutic device, intended for carrying
our treatment procedures using:
• bipolar (bidirectional) and unipolar (unidirectional) low frequency currents,
• bipolar (bidirectional) medium frequency currents and unipolar (unidirectional) medium frequency currents
modulated by low frequency waveforms,
• laser radiation within the visible (for wave length 660 nm) and invisible range (for wave length 808 nm),
• ultrasound therapy and phonophoresis,
• combination method of current and ultrasounds.

The unit is equipped with three fully independent treatment channels. The list of available therapies in particular
channels is shown in the table below.
Channel Therapy
1
Single circuit electrotherapy – A
Dual circuit electrotherapy – A+B
2
Single circuit electrotherapy – B
Combined therapy – ultrasound therapy and electrotherapy
Laser therapy
3
Ultrasound therapy
Detailed information about available configurations is presented further in this manual.
The unit possesses the base of preset treatment procedures along with therapeutic encyclopedia, which
significantly increases comfort of operation.
There is also a possibility to create own user-defined:
• programs – for all therapies,
• sequences – for electrotherapy.
As regards to laser radiation, the unit may be operated with point, cluster and scanning laser applicators. Due to
the available maximum radiation power output at the level of 450 mW for wave length 808 nm and 100 mW for
660 nm, the PhysioGo unit is classified as a small power output laser device. In physiotherapy such lasers are
designated as ”cold”, ”soft” or biostimulating.
The unit is a laser therapy device class 3B.
In the range of ultrasound therapy, PhysioGo unit may cooperate with the following types of ultrasound heads:
• dedicated to standard ultrasound therapy with the effective radiation area 4 cm
2
, which generates
the ultrasound wave with 1 MHz or 3,5 MHz frequency,
• dedicated to standard ultrasound therapy with the effective radiation area 1 cm
2
, which generates
the ultrasound wave with 1 MHz or 3,5 MHz frequency.
