EMS COMBINATION 850 Manual page 32

Apply coupling medium to the treatment site and position the ultrasound
treatment head on the patient so that the lesion point is between the
interferential electrode and the ultrasound transducer.
Turn on interferential output and slowly increase the intensity until the patient
just feels the normal 'tingling' sensation associated with the modality.
Turn on ultrasound output. The patient may feel a slight increase to the
sensation. Set the intensity to the required level.
Slide ultrasound head up to the lesion area making sure that there is always
coupling medium between the face of the transducer and the skin.
When directly over the lesion, the patient will feel increased sensation - this is
the centre of the lesion.
Always keep the face of the ultrasound transducer in contact with the treatment
area, and always keep the transducer moving to avoid any standing waves.
Treat with ultrasound and interferential for the remaining time set
At the end of treatment, remove the transducer from the treatment area, wipe
any coupling medium from the transducer face and return it to the holder at the
rear of the handle.
Remove the remaining coupling medium from the treatment site and remove
the interferential electrode.
