Power Graph
The Control Unit monitors and presents a historical graph of the ultrasound power
delivered to the EkoSonic™ Device(s). The percentage of the maximum average power
actually delivered by each of the two channels, is plotted over time on the power graph.
WARNING!
The Control Unit user interface presents a historical graph of the
ultrasound power delivered. The power data should not be used for
diagnostic purposes. Diagnosis of drug/ultrasound therapy should
always be made using other clinical diagnostic tools (e.g., fluoroscopy).
An incorrect diagnosis could result in prolonged therapy or inadequate
therapy.
