Instructions for Use
The use of shortwave diathermy for heat therapy has the advantage of penetrating deeper than other conventional methods, such as
infrared lights, heating pads, and even microwave diathermy. The heat generated by shortwave diathermy induces a whole range of
physiological effects. It relaxes muscles, tendons and other connective tissues, and increases blood circulation in the treatment area.
When shortwave diathermy is applied in short, high-energy pulses, the depth of penetration is increased, having a particularly positive
effect on the blood circulation, while the temperature sensitive skin hardly feels the heat.
Replexa+ has been shown to be most beneficial when twice a day for 30 minutes per treatment.
An initial recommended setting has been pre-set by the manufacturer. For instructions to change the recommended setting, please
contact the ProMedTek service department at 866.388.2410 or your local dealer.
