Page 9: Introduction
Introduction 1 Introduction With your , you have acquired a high-quality and extremely versatile PHYSIOTHERM-S unit for short wave therapy. 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. -
Page 10: Contraindications
(such as tuberculosis), however, are activated by heat. Accordingly, they represent a contrain- dication. The same applies in the case of malignant tumorous conditions. Heat application in the case of a tumorous disease can only be regarded as malpractice. Moreover, cardiac congestions must be removed prior to any heat appli- cation. PHYSIOTHERM-S... -
Page 11: Of Particular Importance
This in turn can cause excessive local heat, leading to (irreparable) third-degree burns. Therefore, caution is also necessary in case of long-existing metal inclusions, such as shell fragments. Further contraindications relating to gynaecological disorders include (see Möbius, Gynaecological University Clinic, Jena): genital tuberculosis, endometriosis, pyosalpinx or pyo-ovarium, tubal carcinoma. PHYSIOTHERM-S... -
