ULTRATHERM 908i 1 Intended Use The ULTRATHERM 908i is a high performance short wave therapy unit for high frequency heat therapy that operates at the well proved frequency of 27.12 MHz (wave length 11 m). It enables the classical therapy in capacitor-field and electromagnetic coil fields in both the continuous and the modern pulsed modes of operation and, therefore, it is suited for all heat therapy treatments in clinic as well as practice.

Insert the adjuster pin of the Schliephake electrode into the hole (25) and plug socket end of the electrode cable into the pin socket (26) underneath. 2.4 Applicators and applicator cables Coil as well as capacitor-field applicators can be used with the ULTRATHERM 908i (see also paragraph 7, Accessories). 2.4.1 Capacitor-field applicators (distance applicators according to „Schliephake")
Before cleaning or disinfecting the therapy unit must be switched off and the mains plug disconnected. For cleaning and disinfecting the therapy unit and accessories (except for the felt spacers, of course) we recommend commercially available surface disinfectants to be used according to their instructions for use. gbo Medizintechnik AG 2004 Version 1.6...
2.6 Tests, safety and regulations The ULTRATHERM 908i conforms to MDD class IIb. Due to the strict application of legal standards and rules and maintaining the definitions of the design documentation it complies with the general requirements of labour safety.

This includes regular inspections of all cables and lines for possible insulation defects. The ULTRATHERM 908i complies to the Medical Devices Directive (MDD) 93/42/EEC and therefore carries the CE sign with the number of the notified body for medical devices.
By pressing button (6), (7), (8) or (9), (10), (11) in the "APPLICATOR" button pad the dosage (output power) is limited according to the selected applicator so that an unintended overheating of the tissues is avoided. gbo Medizintechnik AG 2004 Version 1.6...

If anyone of these error messages is displayed the therapy unit must be switched off and the after- sales service informed. The FE 0 message means the parameter settings are incomplete. This condition is to be eliminated as described in subparagraph 2.7. No acoustic signal follows this error message. gbo Medizintechnik AG 2004 Version 1.6...
Other contra-indications are growing-grooves, tumours, tuberculosis, disturbed arterial blood circulation of stages III and IV, varicose veins, general tendency to bleeding. The doses must be carefully selected for organs with low vascularization and low blood circulation (e. g. eyes, testicles)! gbo Medizintechnik AG 2004 Version 1.6...
These currents increase with the electric conductivity of the corresponding tissue region (tissues with good blood circulation, e. g. muscle tissue and inner organs). To reach these deeper tissues the coil applicators of the ULTRATHERM 908i are provided with an electrostatic shielding that prevents the technically unavoidable electric field of the coil applicator from effecting the upper-skin fat tissue and its heating.
LEDs. The same is possible while using the MINODE or the MONODE. This constitutes nevertheless a regular operating condition for the ULTRATHERM 908i . Relevant for the emitted HF power and thus for the success of the therapy is the value giver in the dosage display.
If it is used in dangerous areas of anesthesia departments, the possibility of an explosion cannot be excluded. • In case of all visible failures contact immediately gbo Medizintechnik AG or one of the service agencies authorized by gbo Medizintechnik AG.
This signal is repeated every minute until the dosage knob (17) is reset by turning to the left (counterclockwise). • When an error is displayed (except for FE 0) press RESET button (2) and readjust, if required. • The entire therapy unit is switched off by actuating switch (1) again. gbo Medizintechnik AG 2004 Version 1.6...
