1. Introduction Thank you for choosing the Ultrasonic Diathermy Device! This manual contains general instructions for operation, application, precautions, and maintenance. In order to obtain maximum life and effi ciency from the Device and to assist in the proper operation of the device, please read and understand this manual thoroughly. This device is only to be used as directed in this manual.
3. Safety 3.1. CONTRAINDICATIONS Contraindications for the use of ultrasound include: • Over an area of the body where a malignancy is known to be present • Over the eyes • Over or near growth centers until bone growth is complete •...
• DO NOT apply the Applicator with alternative coupling media as a replacement for the Ultrasound Coupling Bandage. Use of alternative coupling media in lieu of the Ultrasound Coupling Bandages may reduce the eff ectiveness of treatment, lead to automatic shutoff of the applicator, or cause a burn.

3.5. ELECTRONICS AND BATTERY WARNINGS • This device is rated IPX-0; therefore, it is Not Waterproof. DO NOT apply a direct stream of any liquid onto the device, submerge the device, or allow any liquid to pool on the surface of the device. DO NOT use if device has been submerged in water.
44°C during normal operation. See section 13.4 on page 24 for more information. 4.4. sam ULTRASOUND COUPLING BANDAGES Device utilizes ultrasound coupling bandages which are manufactured with ultrasound coupling media sealed inside. The ultrasound coupling bandages ARE REQUIRED to secure the Applicators to the body.

10.3.2. DUAL-APPLICATOR MODE The Y-adapter (optional) may be used to power two Applicators simultaneously. As shown in Figure 8, connect the Y-adapter directly to the Power Controller wire and then connect each Applicator to a wire jack at the other end of the Y-adapter. When using two Applicators and two Ultrasound Coupling Bandages...
11. Application Instructions 11.1. CHECK DEVICE CHARGE A. To prevent accidental activation during shipping, the device will arrive to the user in the ‘locked’ position. To unlock the device, slide the Lock Switch on the Power Controller ‘up’ into the ‘unlocked’ position (Figure 7A).
Page 16
11.2. CONNECT APPLICATOR TO POWER CONTROLLER * If using 2 applicators: fi rst connect the Y-adapter directly to the power controller wire jack and then connect each applicator to a wire jack at the other end of the Y-adapter (Figure 8*). A.
Page 17
11.3. ATTACH APPLICATOR TO BANDAGE A. Remove the circular seal from the top of the bandage to reveal the coupling media within the gel cup (Figure 9A). B. Attach the applicator, face down, into the coupling media (Figure 9B). C. Firmly press the applicator down onto the center of the gel cup until a clicking noise is heard or clicking sensation is felt (Figure 9C).
Page 18
11.4. APPLY ULTRASOUND COUPLING BANDAGE TO TREATMENT LOCATION A. Hold the applicator so the bottom of the bandage faces up. Remove the paper liner from the back of the bandage, revealing the bandage adhesive (Figure 10A). i. The circular seal should peel off the bottom of the gel cup along with the paper bandage liner.

11.6. PREVENT UNINTENTIONAL SHUTOFF Once satisfi ed with the treatment settings, the settings may be locked to prevent unintentional shutoff during treatment by sliding the Lock Switch down into the ‘locked’ position as indicated by the symbols on the Power Controller (see Figure 11A).
12. Device Power Down and Removal 12.1. POWER OFF THE POWER CONTROLLER Move the Lock Switch up to the ‘unlocked position’ (if locked) then press and hold the Power Button on the Power Controller for at least 1 second to turn the device ‘OFF’...
13. Modes of Operation 13.1. ON (UNLOCKED) MODE To turn the device ‘ON’, fi rst ensure the Lock Switch is in the unlocked position as indicated by the unlocked symbol on the Power Controller Module. Press and hold the Power Button for at least 1 second. Press the Toggle Button on the right side of the Power Controller Module to set the treatment duration.
13.4. SAM SENSING MODE In the event that the treatment site underneath the applicator reaches the temperature threshold, the applicator will pause ultrasound output and vibrate once with a red LED notifi cation to signify that the device has begun a cooling or rest cycle.
