The Omnisound Pro is indicated for:

Relieving pain

Decreases joint stiffness and contractures

Reduction of muscle spasm

Increases local circulation

Relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures that may be associated with: adhesive capsulitis,
bursitis with slight calcification, myositis, soft tissue injuries, shortened tendons due to past injuries and
scar tissues

Relief of sub-chronic, chronic pain and joint contractures resulting from: capsular tightness, capsular scaring

Patients with an implanted medical device other than a pacemaker.

Near brain, cervical ganglia, spine, laminectomy sites (can cause spinal-cord heating)

Near the reproductive organs

Total hip arthroplasties with methylmethacrylate or high density polyethylene

Arthroplasties—the effect on bony ingrowth arthroplasties is not well defined; for this reason the most
prudent course is avoiding ultrasonic therapy over these areas
Note: There is no contraindication to the application of Ultrasound over metal implants.

Over or near bone growth centers until bone growth is complete

Over the thoracic area if the patient is using a cardiac pacemaker

In an area of the body where a malignancy is known to be present

In an area of the body where infectious disease is present

Blood vessels in poor condition should not be treated as the vessel walls may rupture as a result of the
exposure

Patients suffering from cardiac disease should not receive treatment over the cervical ganglia, the stellate
ganglion, the thorax in the region of the heart, or the vagus nerve, as a reflex coronary vasospasm might
result. Only low intensities and short treatment times should be used if these patients are treated in other
areas since the stimulation of practically any afferent autonomic nerve (especially the vagus nerve) in the
body may cause a change in cardiac rate

Patients with thrombophlebitis or other potentially thromboembolic diseases (such as DVT) should not be
treated since a partially disintegrated clot could result in an obstruction of the arterial supply to the brain,
heart or lungs

Over a healing fracture

Over the eye

Over the pregnant uterus
