3.3 Ultrasound
Handle transducer gently; rough handling can alter its characteristics. Do not allow sharp or
pointed objects to come into contact with the ultrasound transducer since the aluminium head
The use of coupling agents other than the special Sono plus ultrasound gel can damage the
ultrasound transducer.
Disinfect ultrasound transducer after use with conventional equipment disinfectants.
Inspect the ultrasound transducer for damage before each use. If there is any damage, the
ultrasound transducer must not be used.
During combined operation, the ultrasound transducer can be used as a dynamic electrode in
connection with a stationary electrode which is connected via the electrode cable. In such a
case, the ultrasound and electrode channel constitute an applied part. Please ensure that in
this operation, therapeutic currents flow through the ultrasound transducer.
If the ultrasound transducer is regularly used in a water bath, measures which protect the user
must be taken. All user body parts submerged in water must be protected through appropriate
measures. Appropriate protective measures include what is known as “aerated clothing.”
These can include, for example: neoprene gloves or latex over cotton gloves.
