2.10.4 Setup and Operation of Combined Therapy in Single
Devices
After checking for correct interconnection of the electrotherapy and ultrasound units, select a diagnosis or program
that utilizes combined therapy. Select these separately on the electrotherapy and on the ultrasound units. Set the
electrotherapy unit to CV mode. Then attach the respective electrode to the patient to close the electric circuit
ultrasound head-patient-electrode (see the above diagrams). It is now possible to run the ultrasound by the time /
stop button. Position the ultrasound head in contact with tissue and notice that the timer commences counting down.
Slowly increase intensity on the electrotherapy by turning the intensity button to the right in the "+" direction.
Combined therapy is now running. If the contact between the ultrasound head and the treated tissue during the
therapy was not continuous, the times shown on both devices can differ, because timer countdown on the ultrasound
device does not run when contact is interrupted.
2.10.5 Stopping Combined Therapy in Single Devices
Delivery of combined therapy ends after expiration of the set time on both units' timer devices. To stop or interrupt
therapy before the set time expires, it is necessary first to interrupt the therapy on both units by pressing the time /
stop buttons.
