1.4 General Notes
IONOSON-Basic may only be operated in dry rooms designed for medical purposes, in accordance with
DIN VDE 0100-710, User Class 1. These are rooms with patient beds, physical therapy rooms and practice
rooms. It complies with the technical specifications of VDE 0750/IEC 60601 and is assigned to class IIa ac-
cording to the Council Directive concerning Medical Devices.
The instrument may only be operated by qualified personnel who have undergone special training. You
must operate the instrument properly, i.e. in accordance with the Operating Instructions.
It is not intended for operation in explosion hazard zones or hydrotherapy rooms. Drastic temperature
changes should be avoided, since condensation could be caused within the instrument. Do not start up
the instrument until it is in temperature equilibrium with its environment!
Operating the instrument in the proximity (e.g. 1 m) of a short-wave or micro-wave therapy unit may
cause output irregularities and should be avoided for this reason. Simultaneous connection of the patient
to high-frequency surgical instrument should also be avoided.
Using the electrodes near the thorax can increase the risk of ventricular fibrillation.
The equipment must be connected to the power supply via an earth wire in order to avoid electrical surge
currents.
The replacement of the lithium battery by insufficiently trained personnel can be dangerous.
CAUTION
Technical changes to the equipment are not admissible and will inevitably lead to loss of ap-
proval as a medical device!
1.5 Instrument Description
IONOSON-Basic is a two-channel combination therapy instrument.
You can apply the whole range of current modes from low to medium frequency including modulated in-
terference current. Therapy modes may be accessed directly or, by a proposed treatment, via the indica-
tions menu (refer to
25 individual treatment programs or current mode sequences (refer to
Besides plate electrodes and adhesive electrodes, currents can also be applied using vacuum electrodes.
For this, an external vacuum application unit can be connected (refer to
).
Waterproof multifrequency transducers (2.5 and 5.0 cm) made of biocompatible titanium are supplied for
ultrasound electrotherapy in the treatment frequencies 1 and 3 MHz. The instrument can also be used for
simultaneous electrotherapy (stimulation current and ultrasound in a single treatment).
The instrument can be equipped with a rechargeable battery and can then be used as a mobile unit, e.g.
in situations where no connection to the mains is available.
