Warnings & Cautions
• Clean the Treatment Head completely after use as this will prevent any possible cross-infection to other users
• People with local circulatory insufficiency or bleeding disorder (eg haemophilia) should consult their health care professional before use
• Do not use on de-sensitised (numb, hypoaesthesia) areas of the skin (eg diabetic neuropathy)
• Use caution when treating pain of undiagnosed origin with a history of cancer (within 5 years)
• Use a low intensity setting only over areas containing plastic/ cement implants
• If you have a metallic implant, you may experience pain or discomfort near the implant when applying ultrasound stimulation. If this should occur discontinue use and seek advice from your doctor
• The ultrasound stimulation may feel more intense close to a metallic implant. It is safe to continue use provided no pain is experienced. You may need to adjust the power to a comfortable level
• Discontinue use if any signs of inflammation increase (redness, heat, pain, swelling)
• Discontinue use if ‘pins and needles’ are experienced during treatment and consult your health care professional
• The socket outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible
• Use only the accessories supplied by, or purchased from, the manufacturer

• Use of accessories other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation
• Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally
• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the device, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result
• When the operating environment is relatively dry, strong electromagnetic interference usually occurs. At this time, the device may be affected as follows:
- the device stops output;
- the device turns off;
- the device restarts;
The above phenomenon does not affect the basic safety and essential performance of the device, and the user can use it according to the instructions. If you want to avoid the above phenomenon, please use
it according to the environment specified in the manual
• Ultrasound should be routinely checked before each use to determine that all controls function normally, especially that the intensity control properly adjusts the intensity of the ultrasound power output in stable manner. Also, determine that the treatment time control does actually terminate ultrasound power output when the timer reaches zero
• Before each use, inspect the Treatment Head for cracks, which may allow the ingress of conductive fluid
• You may experience skin irritation due to the gel. Discontinue use if any signs of allergy occur
• Use the Treatment Head with care. Inappropriate handling of the Treatment Head may adversely affect its characteristics
