From 0 to 30% From 0 to 30% of the power, the graph is orange, from 31% to 60% red, and over 60% is purple. The shifts from a power percentage to another are managed with color shades. ALARMS The operator should place the device so that "functioning during emission" and "functioning with suspended emission"...
circuited handpieces alarm by pressing the menu button during the program and choosing the option that disables the alarm. The short-circuit alarm can be disabled also from the general settings. In both cases the disabling is activated until the device is turned off. The next time it is turned on, the short-circuit alarms will return to ON.
Using the device near short wave or microwave appliances can generate an instability of the device outputs. The simultaneous use of other high-frequency medical devices can cause a burn hazard in near the electrodes and possible device failure. Do not use flammable materials while using the device. It is absolutely forbidden, during the treatment, to place the mobile electrode upon the counter electrode.
PREPARATION TO THE USE OF THE DEVICE One the device is turned on, make sure that the software version and the model of the device appear on the screen, which means that the device is working and ready to be used. If it is not, switch it off and on again.

Athermic program This program is characterized by a duty cycle that allows to administer a treatment without producing diathermic effects. This mode allows to use TECAR and its bio- stimulating effect at an acute stage of the pathology/injury when the presence of heat may be inappropriate.
Special programs consist of three different ways of applying TECAR therapy, once the Specials icon has been selected, the following list of programs will appear: - Transdermal - Pulsed - Multi Frequency Transdermal Program The Transdermal program allows to perform a Tecartherapy treatment and facilitate the absorption of therapeutic pharmacological substances within the tissues.
Multi Frequency This Multi Frequency program is characterized by the application of 1 or 2 phases of treatment with 3 different frequencies, instead of a fixed frequency. The emission is continuous. The program offers 6 different possibilities according to the goals. This program allows the user to involve in tissues with varying depth and composition.

Before starting the treatment, clean the skin accurately and make sure that there are no traces of soaps or other products. Start the desired program. Diacare 8000 PRO can transfer energy in two different modes: Capacitive and Resistive. Depending on the system that is being used, a shift and concentration of electric charges develops on tissues at different depths, allowing the user to focus treatment of bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles, or more superficial tissues.
the electrodes must be covered with cream to allow a uniform electrical conduction. The alternating electrical field causes the movement and the concentration of electrical charges within the tissues. With the resistive mode, the current produces a temperature increase especially in correspondence of the tissue with higher impedance, generating a thermal increase at a deeper level first.
suffer from one of the following diseases: - neoplasia - serious cardiovascular failure - hemorrhages - local or systemic infections - active dermatological pathologies - ischemic tissues - fever - alteration of coagulation. Attention should be paid in the following cases: - body areas with little sensitivity (hypoesthesia) - seriously obese patients - inflammatory diseases in the acute phase.
To monitor the patient during the treatment and receive feedback on the perceived temperature, it is recommended to use a temperature scale with values ranging from 0 to 10, where zero means there is no heat sensation, while 10 corresponds to an excessive temperature.
For the choice of the temperature to be induced in the tissues, it is necessary to follow the appropriate clinical training (Globus Academy). The temperature can be monitored by means of a laser thermometer, of the therapist's touch and of the patient's subjective perception reported on a VAS scale, which must never cause discomfort or pain.

(For further information, follow the Globus Academy courses.) What are the recommended power levels? The perception of heat must never be excessive.

How do I select the correct size of the electrode to use? The smaller electrode is specific for smaller areas and for the trigger points. The medium electrode for areas such as the shoulder, the ankle, the hand or the neck. The large electrode for larger areas like the thigh, the arm, the leg, the gluteus or the lumbar/dorsal muscles.
