All maintenance and repairs must be carried out by authorized personnel only. The manufacturer bears no
responsibility for the results of maintenance or repairs by unauthorized persons.
Safe operation of any item of medical equipment requires close attention to detail. Please check the following on a
regular basis:
Power cord and plug: Check for frays and kinks. Ensure that the insulation is not damaged in any way.
Ultrasound head surface: Gel should always be thoroughly cleaned from the surface of the head. Always maintain this
surface in as clean a condition as possible. Do not use any abrasive products for cleaning this surface as they could
damage this delicate accessory.
Wires, cables and electrodes: Check for frays, cuts or tears in the insulation. Always route electrical cords and cables
away from user or patient foot traffic areas where they could increase the chance of a tripping-related accident.
Check the unit before each use to determine that all controls function normally.
Calibration of heads and probes/clusters must be done by authorized personnel.
Cleaning
To keep the device clean, do not store or use it in dusty environment and do not spill any liquid on the surface. To
clean, turn the equipment off and unplug the power supply. Clean the unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
materials. Do not use agents containing alcohol, ammonia, benzine, thinners. We recommend that you clean the
accessories that come into contact with the patient after each treatment. Use appropriate agents. No part of the
equipment needs to be aseptic or sterilized.
Laser probes/clusters: Keep the lens clean. After each application wipe the head of the probe by a cotton cloth
(divergent probes). Unscrew the head, wipe the lens and blow compressed air through the head (convergent probes).
In laser clusters wipe the laser aperture with a cotton cloth so as to keep the protective glass clean.
