CAUTION:
The ultrasound applicator is a precision instrument. Great care has been taken during
the development and in production to obtain the best possible beam characteristics.
Rough treatment (jarring or dropping) can adversely affect these characteristics, and
must therefore be avoided.
7.2.5 After treatment
Clean the skin of the patient and the ultrasound applicator with a towel or tissue. Clean
the applicator with a 70% alcohol solution.
Check for the effects that can be expected (for example pain, circulation and mobility).
Ask the patient to inform the therapist of any reactions.
7.3 Vacuum
Vacuum electrodes make good contact with the skin, which means that effective use is made
of the whole electrode area. The massage effect resulting from the pulsed vacuum ensures
a good blood flow through the skin under the electrodes. This reduces the resistance of the
skin and increases he effectiveness of the stimulation current.
See paragraph 7.1.3 for the application of the vacuum electrodes.
When you use only one vacuum channel, close the other channel with one of the
vacuum cables not in use.
7.4.1 Skin electrodes/Probe placement
f using the EMG or ETS phase,connect the EMG reference lead to a surface skin electrode
and place it appropriately on the body, making sure the skin is free from grease and dirt;
repeat the above procedure with the other two skin electrodes. If using a probe, place the
single surface skin electrode on the thigh area and then insert the probe.
Always use Reference wire (REF) for the precise EMG measurement!
Place reference electrode anywhere on your skin.When using with Vaginal probe, you can
place the reference electrode on your thigh.
