The output indication on the display screen shows the peak output voltage
or the peak output current in mA depending upon the selected mode of
operation.
When using direct current, extreme care must be taken to ensure the
patient's safety from electrochemical burning. In particular care must be
taken to avoid uneven pressure on the electrodes causing high local current
density.
Electrodes must not be applied where there are cuts or abrasions.
The temperature of the ultrasound transducer treatment head may reach 42°
C when operating under maximum operating conditions*.
Maintenance: For continuous and safe operation, regular maintenance and
inspection by EMS authorised technicians is required. For the maintenance
procedures and schedule, refer to the Maintenance section of this manual.
Coupling media: Water-based ultrasound gel should be used as coupling
media between the ultrasound transducers and patient skin.
Cleaning: Proper cleaning of the transducers, electrodes and main unit is
required. For cleaning instructions, refer to the Maintenance chapter of this
manual
Modification of the EMS860 is not permitted and may result in a hazardous
situation.
*If the transducer temperature exceeds 42° C then a detector in the
transducer sounds and displays an alarm message on the display screen
and ultrasound power is reduced to a low level until the transducer has
cooled down sufficiently.
