The transducer (with the writing upward facing) should be placed inside the transducer

must be placed directly over the treatment area.

Ultrasound Gel
The supplied ultrasound gel is provided for use with the AccelStim device. Gel is
necessary to allow the ultrasound signal to reach your fracture through the skin. The
gel must be applied to the transducer, side with no writing, before starting a treatment.
Apply a thick layer (1-2mm) of gel to the transducer as the AccelStim device will not
work properly if the gel is not covering the transducer. If you need more gel, please
contact Patient Services at 1-800-535-4492.
NOTE: Some patients may experience mild skin sensitivity to the gel. If you feel your
skin is sensitive to the gel, you may change the gel to mineral oil or glycerin.
