1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read, understand, and follow all safety precautions found in this manual.
Below are general safety precautions that must be read and understood before
attempting any service techniques on these systems.
Read, understand, and practice the precautionary and operating instructions.
Know the limitations and hazards associated with using any electrical
stimulation or ultrasound device. Observe the precautionary and operational
decals placed on the unit.
DO NOT operate the Intelect Stim or Combo System when connected to any
unit other than Chattanooga Group devices. Do not operate the unit in an
environment of short-waveform diathermy use.
The Ultrasound modality should be routinely checked before each use to
determine that all controls function normally; especially that the intensity
control properly adjusts the intensity of the ultrasonic power output in a
stable manner. Also, determine that the treatment time control actually
terminates ultrasonic power output when the timer reaches zero.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous exposure to ultrasonic energy.
DO NOT use sharp objects such as a pencil point or ballpoint pen to operate
the buttons on the control panel as damage may result.
Operate, transport, and store this unit in temperatures between 59 °F and
104 °F (15 °C and 40 °C), with Relative Humidity ranging from 30%-60%.
Inappropriate handling of, and subjecting the ultrasound applicator to
physical abuse, may adversely affect its characteristics.
Inspect Sound Head and Applicator handle for cracks, which may allow the
ingress of conductive fluid before each use.
Inspect all cables, leads, and associated connectors before each use.
Never disconnect Applicator Cable, Lead Wires, Patient Switches, and Mains
Power Cord from the system by pulling the cable or wire. Pulling cable or
wire may cause system or accessory damage and result in injury to patient
and personnel.
