1.1 Introduction to the Sonicator 740
Thank you for purchasing the Sonicator 740 therapeutic ultrasound device from Mettler Electronics Corp.
The microprocessor controlled Sonicator 740 provides therapeutic ultrasound with enhanced reliability and
ease of use. An optional rechargeable battery is available to free you from depending on wall power. The
Sonicator 740 automatically self–tunes to the ultrasound applicator to ensure accurate delivery of
ultrasound.
The Sonicator 740 has a standard 5 cm² applicator at 1 and 3.2 MHz. An additional two applicators are
included with the 740x. These additional applicators are: 10 cm², 1 MHz and 1 cm², 3.3 MHz. The 5 and 10
cm² applicators are contoured for easy ultrasound application. The pencil–shaped 1 cm² applicator is ideal
for delivering ultrasound to hard–to–reach and small treatment areas. All applicators attach to the Sonicator
740 using the same universal applicator cable.
The Sonicator 740 produces ultrasound in continuous and 10, 20 and 50% pulsed modes for maximum
treatment flexibility. The back-lit liquid crystal display (LCD) informs the practitioner about treatment
status. Time and ultrasound output intensity are actively displayed during a treatment. The “ultrasound
active” indicator on the display alerts the operator when ultrasound is being delivered by the applicator. An
additional LED on the applicator itself lights when ultrasound is being delivered and flashes when there is a
problem with coupling.
Large controls on the silicone rubber keypad provide one touch entry for treatment parameters. An audible
tone provides you with further reinforcement that a selection has been made. Error conditions are
prominently shown on the display as well as all treatment parameters.
