    The pulse ultrasound (1:2 - 1:16 PPR) allows the user to choose one of the pulse frequencies and the time duration. The BTL-07p uses 50 Hz and 100 Hz pulse frequencies. Press the PULSE FREQUENCY button (16) to switch between the two frequencies. The activated pulse frequency is indicated by the diode next to the PULSE FREQUENCY button (14).

  • Page 6: Time Setting

    There is an increased local temperature in these areas. BTL-07p emitter heads have a very low BNR. Further more, the BTL-07p features an optic indicator to signal stationary waves, placed on the Bar-graph (10) (the orange LED diode). Respond to this signal by immediately removing the emitter head from the application site in order to eliminate any risk of soft tissue damage.

  • Page 7: Starting The Combined Therapy

    Never use the connectors for anything else but the electrotherapeutic instrument and the emitter head. The user should not use the instrument, if it does not work as described in this manual. Contact your BTL service technician. The user is responsible for all damages resulting from using such an instrument.

    BTL – 07p operating manual & user's guide If this signal persists, try to calibrate the emitter head. The 07p calibration procedure should be done as follows: • Prepare yourself some water container for app. 0.5 liter (water temperature should be around 30 °C) with a sponge (or some swab or cotton wool) at the bottom.

  • Page 10: Pulse Width

    Each BTL-07p instrument has its own specific ultrasonic emitter heads that are produced and set only for that particular unit. Do not use emitter heads from a different BTL-07p unit or an ultrasound unit made by another producer. Protect the emitter heads from shock or intense cold. Do not bend the cable. Be especially careful with the emitter head connection area.

  • Page 11: User's Guide

    It is necessary to move the emitter head continuously (see below) to prevent tissue lesions at peaks of intensity. The BTL-07p signals when there are stationary waves and stops ultrasonic power generation until stationary waves are eliminated through more rapid movement of the emitter head.

  • Page 12: Methods Of Application

    BTL – 07p operating manual & user's guide Increases in local temperature and micromassage have several physiological effects: 1. Improvement in local circulation resulting in metabolic improvement. Vasodilatation increase follows the increasing temperature (more evident in continuous ultrasound). 2. Increased permeability of capillaries resulting in quick extravasation humour absorption.

  • Page 13: Ultrasound Frequency

    With a PPR smaller than 1:8, an athermic effect can be expected. The BTL-07p’s impulse time is shown by a proportional number. This number actually represents a fraction, which expresses a certain part of the ultrasonic emission period. With a pulse frequency of 100 Hz, the period time is 10 ms.

    BTL – 07p operating manual & user's guide Specific contraindications of ultrasonic therapy A) Absolute Epiphysis of growing bones Ultrasound patients risk irreversible growth zone damage, deformity and/or permanent disablement. Since older types of ultrasound instruments operate at low intensities (displayed data does not correspond with the actual amount of the energy applied), their use does not lead, in most cases, to growth zone damage.

  • Page 16: Combined Therapy

    Ultrasound and low frequency currents Can be used with one unit or by connecting two separate units (BTL-06 + BTL-07p). The desired current with an adjustable intensity should be brought to the emitter head. The other electrode is placed opposite the emitter head so that the ultrasound field and the low frequency current are both located in the treatment area.

  • Page 17: A Therapeutic Example

    Use a 1 MHz ultrasound frequency when treating deeply underlying muscles. The combination of the BTL-06 and BTL-07p offers a selection of ultrasound parameters and amplitude modulations Hence these currents can be used for surface muscles (at a 3 MHz frequency) as well as deep...
