Questions & Answers (FAQ)

ANSWER:

We get this question over and over again when the conversation is about ultrasound treatment. Very often the contact with the tissue is poor, even though plenty of gel is used.

You should note the following:

The gel must be made with as little air as possible, air bubbles in the gel mass cause the intensity to fluctuate and this can be felt by the patient, especially at high strength.

It is not an advantage that the gel is too viscous, and the therapist notes that the contact indicator does not flash as often, as the resistance in the viscous gel requires a higher strength, which can provide heat even with pulsating treatment.

The color of the gel is irrelevant. The good gel should feel easy to flow, and the workflow with the sound head should be at a uniform and moderate pace.

If the contact indicator still flashes, the fault can in many cases be located in the device's contact function.

ANSWER:

The reusable electrodes are coated with a gel that lasts for approx. 20-25 treatments, then the gel is used up and the electrode must be discarded.

Before use, the skin should be sprayed off and vigorous hair growth removed. After use, carefully remove the electrode - without pulling the cord, which can damage it. You take one of the corners and pull it off the skin.

Before storing in the bag, moisten the gel to extend its life.

Do not leave electrodes stored in the sun, on the trolley or on the windowsill. If they dry and roll up, throw them away.

ANSWER:

Check the battery.

The vast majority of faults were due to defective cables or bad electrodes. It is extremely rare for there to be faults in the appliance itself.

Short-circuit the cable on the patient cable, and if various signal lamps work, the fault can be located on the electrodes.

Old and used rubber electrodes provide great Ω (ohm) resistance to the skin. This causes unpleasant current shocks and powerful galvanic effects. Discard them and use only new ones.
