Ultrasound Treatment
It is recommended that before commencing treatment, the stainless steel
front of the transducer is disinfected using a 70% v/v aqueous solution of
isopropyl alcohol. Sterile alcohol wipes are suitable for this purpose.
Apply sufficient coupling medium to the area to be treated, EMS Physio
Therasonic coupling medium is recommended.
Apply the active face of the transducer to the treatment site via the coupling
medium.
Turn the rotary control clockwise to start treatment. The output intensity will
increase in 0.1 W/cm
2
steps. The treatment indicator on the transducer will
light, ‘TREATMENT’ will flash and the treatment time will begin to count
down.
If the transducer is not properly connected to the output socket or the
treatment time is zero then the unit will give a two-tone beep and the output
will not be energised.
Move the transducer over the treatment site in small circular paths whilst
setting the output intensity to the required level using the rotary control.
Always keep the face of the transducer in contact with the treatment area
and always keep the transducer moving to avoid any standing waves.
