Treatment Array Cooling
For Models LS-R 250, LS-I 500, LS-R 750, LS-I 1500,
SLD-R 500, SLD-I 1000:
Although Meditech has taken every reasonable
precaution to ensure that the Treatment Heads do not
become too hot or uncomfortable for the patient, they
still may. It is the responsibility of the administering
practitioner to ensure the PATIENT’S SAFETY. Prior to
starting each treatment, the patient should be warned
that the Treatment Heads may become uncomfortable
and that they should
notify the administering
practitioner if they do.
To prevent the treatment arrays from becoming
too warm or uncomfortable to the patient, it is
recommended that the operator should cool them
after 20 minutes of use (e.g. one patient treated for
20 minutes or four patients treated for 5 minutes
each etc.) by using Meditech’s fan for 2 minutes or 6
minutes at ambient temperature (without a cooling
fan). The above mentioned cooling procedure
applies to protocols with continuous wave mode of
operation at 100% power. With protocols using
modulation mode of operation and/or less power,
treatment times can be longer between cooling
periods.
