ProMed ProM-660 Manuals

ULTRASOUND THERAPY DEVICE Personal Beauty / Diathermy / Health Care Product MODEL NO:ProM-660 USER MANUAL BEFORE USING THE DEVICE, PLEASE READ OPERATING INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY. INTENDED FOR USE The ProM-660 generates deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures, but not for the treatment of malignancies. CONTRAINDICATIONS 1. Donotuse over or near bone growth centers until bone growth is complete. 2. Do not use over a healing fracture. 3. Donotuse over the eyes. 4. Do not use for patients with implanted neurostimulation systems because tissue damage can occur at the location of the implanted electrodes resulting in severe injury or death. This can also damage the system components. 5. Do not use to treat malignancies nor in the region with malignant tumors. 6. Do not use for patients with demand type cardiac pacemakers. 7. Do not use on someone who is pregnant. 8. Do not use over ischemic tissues in patients with vascular disease where the blood supply would be unable to follow the increase in metabolic demand and tissue necrosis might result. 9. Donotuse over the carotid sinus nerves or arteries, laryngeal or pharyngeaf muscles. PRECAUTIONS 1. Do not use on patients with hemorrhagic diatheses. 2. Do not use over an area of the spinal cord following a laminectomy, i.e., when major covering tissues have been removed. 3. Do not use over anesthetic areas. 4. Avoid bony prominences. 5. When using ultrasound, keep the sound head moving while maintaining contact with skin. 6. If treatment becomes uncomfortable, inform or contact your physician. 7. Do not immerse the Ultrasound device in water or other solvent. 8. Do not use over metallic implants, especially prostheses with a cement-matrix. EXPLANATION OF ULTRASOUND STIMULATOR EFFECT Ultrasound equipment generates high frequency sound waves (1 MHz) that are transferred to a specific body area via a round-headed probe. The sound waves travel deep into tissue and create gentle heat. As the probe glides over the skin's surface, sound waves penetrate the skin's surface causing soft tissues to creating deep heat. In turn, the heat induces vasodilatation: drawing blood into the target tissues. The generated deep heat is found to help relieve pain and reduce muscle spasms.
