6 Intended use and intended user
The Sonopuls 190 is a unit for continuous and pulsed ultrasound therapy.
Ultrasound is a mechanical energy consisting of high-frequency vibrations applied by means of an
ultrasound applicator. These vibrations pass through the tissue of the body and are gradually
absorbed and transformed into heat. The resulting temperature increase triggers biological changes
to occur in the tissue for the relief of pain, relaxation of muscle spasms and reduction of joint
contractures.
The Sonopuls 190 is intended to be used, and shall only be used, by or under the supervision of
professional users in the field of physical therapy and rehabilitation, who understand the benefits and
limitations of ultrasound therapy.
