EMS COMBINATION 850 Manual page 28

The Combination 850 transducers are suitable for treatment using a water bath.
This is especially useful when treating areas which are not uniform such as feet
or hands. When using a water bath it is advisable to use degassed water (water
that has been boiled to remove any air and then allowed to cool). After the part
of the body has been immersed in the water, remove any air bubbles that may
have accumulated on the skin. Set up the unit as described and then immerse
the transducer in the water before turning the output on. Hold the transducer
with its face approximately 1cm away from the treatment site and increase the
output, using the ultrasound intensity up key, to the required level remembering
to keep the transducer moving in small circular paths to prevent standing
waves. At the end of the treatment when the output has been automatically
turned off, remove the transducer from the water and dry both it and the area
treated.
The Combination 850 ultrasound contact monitor is normally treatment-linked
This means that the treatment time only counts down when there is adequate
contact between the transducer active face and the treatment area. Some users
may prefer to have this link disabled or enabled with an audible warning when
there is poor contact. To change the contact monitor behaviour see the System
Set-Up options on page 34.
