TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Inside the SONOPULSE III transducer there is a temperature sensor which veries and maintains the work temperature of
the piezoelectric crystal, and consequently, the aluminum face of the transducer, which avoids the disagreeable sensation of
excessive heat to the patient. This sensor is programmed so that the temperature in the aluminum never exceeds41°C. During
treatment, particularly when the couplant gel used is not of superior quality, the temperature may rise above 41°C. When that
happens, the equipment will ‘freeze’ the programmed time and turn o the emission of ultrasound. At that moment, a sound
beep will be emitted and the display will show:
The professional should continue to ‘move’ the transducer, because after a few seconds the temperature will return to
normal. The equipment will automatically revert the ‘frozen’ time, resuming the original program.
