Make sure that the patient is in a comfortable position for treatment. Locate
the treatment area and the most painful point and apply coupling gel to that
area.
Gently press the applicator tip vertically to the skin.
Press the foot switch to start the treatment. During treatment, manoeuvre
the applicator around the painful point.
When treatment is complete, clean the membrane with alcohol or a hospital
grade surface germicidal solution.
If the patient experiences severe pain/discomfort at the application
site during treatment, suspension or termination of treatment should
be considered.
In order to prevent overheating of the applicator it is recommended to
stop operation for 20 minutes after every 2.5 minutes of continuous
treatment.
Note: After 5000 continuous pulses, the device stops automatically.
This is to ensure that the device doesn’t run indefinitely from an
accidental press of the foot switch. To continue, press any button.
During a treatment, operation can be safely terminated at any time by
either –
a) Releasing pressure on the footswitch, or if that fails then
b) Pressing the on/off button on the top panel, or
c) Turning off the mains power switch at the back of the PSU.
