Introduction 1 Introduction With your , you have acquired an extremely versatile high-tech PHYSIOSON-Basic ultrasound therapy unit. The instrument will only show its true potential, however, if you are well informed Operating Instructions about its functions. For this reason, carefully read the familiarise yourself with the use of the instrument.
Conditions following radiothorium treatments, X-ray therapy • Laminectomy • Skin lesions (infections, inflammatory processes, naevi) • Tumescences at all stages (pre-/postoperative) • Blood coagulation diseases. Do not apply ultrasound or simultaneous therapy close to the brain, spinal cord and eyes! PHYSIOSON-Basic...
Optic coupling confirmation (with dose turned high) • Acoustic coupling confirmation (optional, with dose turned high) In addition, prompts and instructions are displayed, e.g. Plug in Head Overview of More information on the individual symbols can be found in section Parameters on page 7. PHYSIOSON-Basic...
After pressing the selector, the cursor will start flashing. You will then be able to select the parameters by turning the selector and confirm the selected value by pressing the selector again (cursor stops flashing). PHYSIOSON-Basic...
Handling malpractices can change the characteristics of the resonator! 2.1.4 SIM Socket <4> The SIM socket <4> serves to connect to a PHYSIOMED Simultaneous stimulation current therapy unit (see also Therapy on page 14).
(cf. Notes on Operation on page 8). Note To work with the unit and to charge the battery the mains switch <5> as well as the power switch <6> have to be switched on. PHYSIOSON-Basic...

If the error code is still displayed after several runs through the self-test routine, contact your service partner. Note Random instrument errors may conceivably occur as the result of harmless spikes in the power line. PHYSIOSON-Basic...
<2>. When the transducer is coupled, the green LED at the transducer goes off and the timer starts to run. The therapy timer switches off as soon as the treatment is finished. PHYSIOSON-Basic...

Make sure you constantly keep moving the transducer on the area of treatment (dynamic treatment)! Avoid using the transducer at one spot for a longer time (static treatment); this form of treatment might lead to damage to the tissue! Regularly check transducers and resonators for overheating! PHYSIOSON-Basic...
If the transducer is lifted during treatment, the stimulation current will automatically be reduced to 0; it ensures that both therapy modes - ultrasound and stimulation current - are always applied simultaneously. As soon as the transducer is put on again the stimulation current will also rise again automatically. PHYSIOSON-Basic...

Make sure that there is enough space between the plate electrode and the transducer. If there is too little room, an error might be issued. At the end of treatment, the therapy timer of the switches off the PHYSIOSON Basic ultrasonic transducer as well as the stimulation current emission automatically. PHYSIOSON-Basic...

(2) Select the desired parameter with the data selector <2> and confirm. (3) Set the desired value of the parameter. Modifications can be recognised immediately by means of acoustic or visual signals. (4) Exit the setup menu. The selected settings are immediately valid. PHYSIOSON-Basic...
Repairs to the instrument may only be performed by parties duly authorised by . Any repairs performed by an authorised agent PHYSIOMED ELEKTROMEDIZIN AG must be accompanied by written certification, describing the nature and extent of the repairs undertaken, as applicable with details regarding changes to nominal operating values or the operational range.
