    <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...
  • Page 19 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...
  • Page 20: Simultaneous Therapy

    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...
  • Page 21 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...
