TensCare Sonic Stim + Instrucciones De Uso página 11

• Stimulation should not be applied over, or in proximity to, cancerous
lesions.
• Always keep the ultrasound head in constant motion.
• Use ample conductive gel with the ultrasound head to ensure good
coupling throughout the treatment. If needed, apply more when setting
the intensity.
• Consult your doctor or physiotherapist if you are in any doubt whatsoever.
Danger
Patients with an implanted neurostimulation device must not be treated with
or be in close proximity to any shortwave diathermy, microwave diathermy,
therapeutic ultrasound diathermy, or laser diathermy anywhere on their body.
Energy from diathermy (shortwave, microwave, ultrasound, and laser) can be
transferred through the implanted neurostimulation system, can cause tissue
damage, and can result in severe injury or death. Injury, damage, or death
can occur during diathermy therapy even if the implanted neurostimulation
system is turned "off."
Biohazardous Materials
Handle, clean, and dispose of components and accessories that have come
in contact with bodily fluids according to national, local, and facility rules,
regulations, and procedures.
Adverse Reaction
Skin irritation, inflammation, and electrode burns beneath the electrodes are
potential adverse reactions. Perform the following procedures to avoid the
negative effects of ultrasound therapy.
• Applicator Movement - If movement of the applicator is too slow, the
patient may feel periosteal pain characterized by a deep ache or pain.
If motion is too fast, or if the applicator does not maintain good contact
with the skin, the therapeutic effect of the sound waves will be reduced,
and the applicator may overheat.
• Patient Susceptibility - Some patients are more sensitive to ultrasound
output and may experience a reaction similar to a heat rash. Be sure to
inspect the treatment area during and following treatment and stop
using if an adverse reaction occurs.
