ABOUT ULTRASOUND THERAPY Intelect TranSport® Ultrasound
CommonTerms
Applicator - The hand held assembly used to deliver ultrasonic energy. The applicator includes the sound head, transducer, and related
electronics.
BeamNon-UniformityRatio (BNR) – By nature, an ultrasound beam is not homogeneous. The BNR is a ratio of the highest intensity
found in the beam field to the average intensity as indicated on the output display of the unit. This measure may not exceed 5.0:1.
Because of the areas of increased intensity, the sound head is moved continuously during the treatment.
Collimating(Coll)-The shape of the ultrasound beam. While neither focused nor dispersed, this ultrasound beam resembles a column
when applied from the unit through the sound head.
Continuous Mode – The output of the ultrasound is not interrupted during the treatment time. This mode imparts the most energy to
the tissues and is used when a maximal effect is desired. (See Duty Cycle).
Utilizing ultrasound waves through muscle, nerve, and connective tissue has been well documented as effective in reducing pain, muscle
spasms, and joint contractures.
There are several items that affect the penetration of ultrasound on the target tissues. Please refer to the documentation as a reference on
the appropriate frequency for your clinical needs.
There are 4 sound heads available with the Intelect TranSport Ultrasound System: 1 cm2, 2 cm2,5 cm2, and 10 cm2.
Select either 1 or 3.3 MHz frequencies for each applicator (excluding the 1 cm2applicator). Frequency may be selected either before or
during therapy.
OVERVIEW OF ULTRASOUND THERAPY

7
Intelect TranSport® Ultrasound
ABOUT ULTRASOUND THERAPY
CouplingMedia – An agent used to insure that the ultrasound is transmitted from the sound head to the tissue to be treated. Gels or
lotions labeled for therapeutic ultrasound use are recommended.
DutyCycle – This is the ratio of the “On” time to “Total” time of the cycle, expressed as a percentage. The duty cycle describes the pulsed
modes of ultrasound. The lower the percentage, the lower temporal average intensity. 100% is continuous ultrasound.
EffectiveRadiatingArea(ERA) – A measure of the ultrasound beam made underwater, 5 mm from the radiating
surface of the sound head. The ERA is always smaller than the geometric area of the sound head, but should be as close as possible. This
measurement is used to calculate the ultrasound intensity in W/cm2.
Frequency (Freq) – Selectable to 1 or 3.3 MHz with the 2 cm2, 5 cm2, or 10 cm2sound head (only 3.3 MHz is available with the 1 cm2
sound head). The lower the frequency, the longer the wavelength, and the deeper the penetration of ultrasound.
Lead Zirconate Titanate – A synthetic crystal used to create the ultrasound beam by vibrating 1,000,000 (1 MHz) or 3,300,000 (3.3 MHz)
times per second. This type of crystal is both durable and efficient in its functions.
Power – A measure of the intensity of the ultrasound delivered to the patient. Unit of measure is watts (W).
Pulse Duration – Refers to the amount of time the ultrasound is being delivered in the pulsed mode. For example, in the 20% duty cycle
mode, the ultrasound is delivered for 2 msec and off for 8 msec (at 100 Hz) throughout the treatment period.
PulseFrequency – The pulse frequency is the number of pulses per second and is expressed in hertz. The available pulse frequency on
the Intelect TranSport Ultrasound is 100 Hz.

Intelect TranSport® Ultrasound
ABOUT ULTRASOUND THERAPY
OVERVIEW OF ULTRASOUND THERAPY - COMMON TERMS (CONTINUED)
Pulsed Mode – The output of the ultrasound is automatically interrupted during the treatment time. This limits the amount of energy
delivered to the tissues.
Sound Head – The aluminum face of the applicator that contacts the patient’s skin. It covers a transducer mechanism that converts elec-
trical energy to mechanical energy in the form of a vibrating crystal.
UltrasoundIntensity – Ultrasound power delivered to the patient expressed in total power as watts (W) or in terms of the sound head’s
effective radiating area, watts per centimeter squared (W/cm2).
Description of Ultrasonic Field
The spatial distribution of the radiated field is essentially a collimated beam of the ultrasonic energy having a cross-sectional area of 8.5
cm2for the 10 cm2sound head when measured at a point 5 mm from the transducer face.
The energy distribution within the radiated field is 3.0 W/cm2maximum and it takes a generally conic shape, having decreasing intensity at
progressively increasing distance from the face of the transducer. This field distribution applies for the radiation emitted into the equivalent
ofaninfinitemediumofdistilled,degassedwaterat30°Candwiththelinevoltagevariationsintherangeof10%oftheratedlinevoltage.

Intelect TranSport® Ultrasound
ABOUT ULTRASOUND THERAPY
Additional Precautions
Additional precaution should be used when the ultrasound
is used on patients with the following conditions:
• Overanareaofthespinalcordfollowingalaminectomy,
i.e., when major covering tissues have been removed.
• Overanestheticareas.
• Onpatientswithhemorrhagicdiatheses.
Potential for Burns
It is possible for ultrasound therapy to cause burns if the therapy is
not performed properly. Skin burns can result from one or more of
the following:
• Iftheintensity(power)istoohigh.
• Ifyouareusingtoolowafrequency.
• Usingastationarytechnique(holdingthesoundheadinone
place).
• Movingthesoundheadtooslowly.
• Treatinganareawithsensorynervedamage(orthelossof
normal skin sensations).
• Desensitizedareascanbeoverheatedorburnedwithoutthe
patient’s knowledge. Use extreme caution with these patients
(e.g., diabetes, neural damage, etc.).
• Bonyprominencesareespeciallyvulnerable:theyreflectsound
waves and increase intensity to the periosteum.
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 any-
where on their body. Energy from diathermy (shortwave, microwave,
ultrasound and laser) can be transferred through the implanted neuro-
stimulation 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."

ABOUT ULTRASOUND THERAPY
PreventingOverheatingoftheSoundHeads
To prevent the sound head from becoming overheated, do the
following:
• Checktobesurepropercontactisbeingmadethroughoutthe
treatment.
• Whentreatinginwater,makesurethatthesoundheadis
completely under water.
• Fordirectcoupling,youmayneedtoapplymoreconductivegel
or lotion during the treatment to achieve better coupling.
• Youcanalsoreducethepowerordutycycleduringthe
treatment if you are treating an area where it is difficult to obtain
good coupling.
PreventingAdverseEffects
Perform the following procedures to avoid the negative effects of
ultrasound therapy.
SoundHeadMovement
If movement of the sound head is too slow, the patient may feel
periosteal pain characterized by a deep ache or pain. If motion
is too fast, or if the sound head does not maintain good contact
with the skin, the therapeutic effect of the sound waves will be
reduced and the sound head 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 discontinue if
an adverse reaction does occur.
OutputPower
Choose a lower watt setting to reduce output or select a pulsed
duty cycle. Higher output levels have a greater potential for
patient discomfort.
Coupling
Coupling is described as contact between the sound head and
the treatment site and may be accomplished through the use of
a coupling agent, such as gel, lotion or water (underwater treat-
ments only). Anything used as a coupling agent must be highly
conductive. Air is a very poor conductor of ultrasonic waves.
HeadMax.Temp.Disclaimer
