  • Page 5: Warranty

    Consumable items, for example, electrodes, electrode covers and batteries, are excluded from the above warranty. It is intended that the Megapulse Senior 265 is only used by qualified healthcare professionals such as physiotherapists who have received training in electrotherapy.

  • Page 6: Introduction

    Introduction The Megapulse 265 is a continuous and pulsed shortwave therapy unit. Shortwave therapy can be applied to a wide range of conditions with successful outcomes. These include acute and subacute traumatic and inflammatory conditions, chronic rheumatoid and arthritic conditions, resolution of haematomas and for pain relief. Shortwave refers to electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range 2 to 100 MHz.
  • Page 7 Shortwave therapy equipment normally uses the band centred on 27.12 MHz. This corresponds to a wavelength, in a vacuum, of approximately 11 metres. Shortwave therapy is normally applied at a level which produces detectable heating and the benefits are those associated with the heating effect - encouragement of healing, pain relief, reduction of muscle spasm, increase in mobility etc.

  • Page 8: Indications For Use

    However, the patient is unlikely to sense any warming effect with sub-thermal settings below about 20W average power. The Megapulse Senior 265 in pulsed mode and with a Monopulse applicator provides a peak power of up to 200W and average powers from a few mW to 64W.

  • Page 9: Precautions

    The connecting cables associated with electrodes should be positioned in such a way that contact with the patient or conductive or energy absorbing objects is avoided. The Megapulse Senior 265 has cable retaining clips on both electrode arms. The electrode cables should be positioned so that they do not contact the body work or top panel of the equipment during use.
  • Page 10 Make sure that the leads are properly connected and that they are kept away from each other to avoid over-heating. Never let them cross over. Position the arms as shown in the picture on the left. Never treat in reverse. Keep the leads as far apart as possible from each other and the machine and its casing during treatment...
  • Page 11 Do not allow the leads to contact the body work or top panel of the equipment during use The electrode cables and plugs may get hot when used at high output levels for prolonged periods. Allow to cool after treatment before disconnecting.
  • Page 12 Regularly (at least monthly) inspect all treatment leads, cables and connectors for signs of damage. Modification of the Megapulse Senior 265 is not permitted and may result in a hazardous situation. OM265EN issue 16...
