US-1000 Portable Ultrasound Manual

General Information

The main piece of equipment is a high-frequency generator, which provides an electrical current through a coaxial cable to a transducer contained within an applicator. Ultrasound energy is absorbed and transformed into heat energy as it propagates through tissue.

The portable ultrasound is a therapeutic ultrasound device that generates deep heat through piezo-electric crystal sound head. Unlike electrical modalities, ultrasound is unique in that the longitudinal waveform associated with sound is not electromagnetic in nature.

Treatment duration is determined by the medical practitioner and may range from 2-15 minutes depending on the conditions treated and anatomic target site.

Because air is a very poor sound conductor, ultrasound gels must be used to conduct the wave energy to the skin.

The unit of measurement of vibration (frequency) is the Hertz (Hz) which is the number of vibrations per second. The frequency of US-1000 is 1 MHz (1 million vibrations per second).

US-1000 Portable Ultrasound Operation

1. Connect power wire to wire socket.

2. Connect AC adaptor to power source.

3. Apply sufficient gel to skin at target area.

4. Switch on the power. If power signal light is on, start to use Portable Ultrasound.

5. Place the treatment head on the skin and move it slowly over target area in a circular motion or linear strokes at a rate of about 1 inch per second. DO NOT stop moving treatment head while in use.

6. Use special care on bony prominences to avoid discomfort.

7. The power automatically turns off in ten minutes or, if desired, the power can be turned off sooner by pushing the ON/OFF switch to OFF.

8. After using the US-1000 portable ultrasound, clean skin with water to remove gel.

9. Wipe excess gel off the treatment head with a damp cloth. Disinfect treatment head with antiseptic wipe. Do not immerse treatment head in water or solvent.

10. When power shuts off, leave unit off for 30 minutes before restarting unit.

11. After every treatment, disconnect AC adaptor from power source.

12. Do not impact the treatment head or drop treatment head on the floor.
