1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 T CaRe Compact intended use
T CaRe Compact is a device for capacitive - resistive diathermy ( endothermy) to be used in
the area of physical rehabilitation; it is an active therapeutic medical device class IIb
(according to the definitions of Directive 93/42/EEC, as amended in accordance with the
Directive 2007/47/EC).
It is a device to be used under medical supervision.
With T CaRe Compact it is possible to treat arthritis, edema (traumatic or inflammatory
origin), bruising, muscle or joint injuries and to perform analgesics and myorelaxant
treatments.
The results achievable with the use of T CaRe Compact are: analgesic effect, increased
vascularization in the treated area with consequent acceleration of the recovery processes,
increased lymphatic drainage, reduction of inflammatory states.
Operation of T-Care Compact is based on the principle of energy transfer obtained through
the use of endogenous energy, which is achieved through the recall in the area to be treated
of electrical charges (ions) present in the tissues.
The adopted model of reference is that of the condenser, in fact, T-Care operates on the
basis of technologies that use a generator at a frequency between 400 and 1000 KHz
connected to a movable electrode and a reference electrode, which make up the two
armatures of the condenser, among which the biological tissue is interposed becoming an
electrical conductor of the second class. The energy supply provided by the generator
produces a concentration of electrical charges in the most resistive points (the less
vascularized ones) of the tissue, hence involving the muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments.
The interaction caused determines bio-stimulation as an increase in energy transformations
(ATP production) and oxygen consumption that activate the arterial and lymphatic
microcirculation, as well as an increase of endogenous temperature with consequent
dilation of blood vessels and increase in flow blood.
1.2 Applied standards

The device has been developed in accordance with the laws and regulations in force,
however, the safe use, both for the patient and the operator, is not guaranteed if you do not
observe the prescriptions for installation, for use and periodic inspections. In the following
paragraphs are detailed the warnings and requirements grouped by specific topics.
2.1 Easytech responsibilities
Easytech declines any responsibility concerning the safety and functionality of T CaRe
Compact if:
 installation, modifications, maintenance and inspections are not carried out by
personnel authorized by Easytech ;
 the device has been installed in a room with an electrical system that is not
compliant with the requirements of current standards;
 the device is not used for the intended use or it is not used in accordance with the
instructions provided in this manual.
2.2 Warnings concerning installation, maintenance and regular inspections
 The installation site must be fitted with an electric system that is compliant with the
requirements of current standards.
 ATTENTION: to prevent the risk of electrical shocks, this device must only be connected
to grounded power supply.
 Make sure that the type of supply complies with that indicated on the device label.
 Before installing the device, verify that the packaging and its content are not damaged.
 Only use the power cord supplied with T CaRe Compact or the spare power cords
supplied by Easytech . Although it is possible to purchase similar cables that offer good
performances, their characteristics are not suitable to guarantee the compliance with
standards according to which the device has been manufactured. In particular:
leads with an inadequate section or an excessive length, and ever worse both all
the same have as a consequence that the machine is not in compliance with the
requirements of electrical safety.
Furthermore, as quoted in standard EN 60601-1-2 regarding electromagnetic
compatibility:
"the use of cable other than those specified ....... may increase emissions and
reduce the immunity of the device ".
 Do not use adaptors, multiple sockets or extensions to connect the device to the main
power supply.
 Do not place heavy or sharp objects above the power cord in order not to damage it.
 Do not place T CaRe Compact near to heat sources or expose it to direct sun light. Install
the device in an adequately ventilated room.
 Avoid installation in rooms with rapid temperature excursions or where humidity, dust,
chemical vapours and vibrations are present.
 For information concerning electromagnetic interferences, refer to paragraph 2.5. Avoid
in particular installation of the device close to potential sources of electromagnetic

Easytech s.r.l. – User Manual T CaRe Compact rev. D Pag. 7 di 36
interferences (like portable or mobile radio-communication devices or medical devices
that generate electromagnetic energy for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes) which
would exceed the limits recommended in the standards and thus affect the immunity of
the device.
 For information on how to perform maintenance, calibration and regular inspection
operations, refer to Chapter 7.
 WARNING: all device’s modifications are prohibited
 WARNING: do not modify this device without express consent and authorization of the
manufacturer
 WARNING: when a modification is applied, it’s necessary to perform tests and trials
adequate to demonstrate the security of the device for continue use.
2.3 Precautions for use
The device must be used only by qualified personnel who has achieved at least a High
School Diploma and a Bachelor Degree in Physiotherapy (Short cycle).
It is useful a good level of knowledge in the use of physical means in physiotherapy and
some experience gained from other similar products related to musculoskeletal disorders
and in general relevant rehabilitative treatments, in order to understand the potential of the
device in question.
An adequate knowledge of the local language is required.
Only slight visual or sensory impairments are admitted. Also a slight motor impairment is
permitted provided that the correct positioning of the device with respect to the patient is
guaranteed.
 Do not replace the electrodes while the device is operating.
 Do not open for any reason the device’s closure housing.
 For cleaning or maintenance operations, always refer to chapter 7.
 Do not spill or spray liquid on the device, handpiece included.
 Do not obstruct the ventilation holes or insert objects into them.
 Check frequently the condition of the apparatus by simple visual examination and in
particular check the power cord and its connectors (verify that the plug contacts are not
blackened, that there are no signs of overheating, mechanical deformation or breakage,
sheath worn ...). This simple and rapid operation, far from being exhaustive, may, however,
in many cases foresee forthcoming failures.
 If the device has fallen to the ground or the external casing is damaged or you reasonably
suspect that the performance of the device has degraded, disconnect it from the power
supply and contact the technical support of Easytech .

2.4 Warnings regarding electromagnetic interference
T CaRe Compact produces electromagnetic energy for emitting it for therapeutic purposes.
The device is manufactured in accordance with the laws and the standards in force and, if
used according to guidelines included in this manual, it radiates only very small quantities of
electromagnetic energy like any other electronic device not used for telecommunications.
Normally, therefore, it will not disturb other equipment nor produce radiation potentially
dangerous for people, whether they are the patient, the operator or third parties.
T CaRe Compact is manufactured so as to be immune from noise due to other equipment,
provided that the latter complies with the standards and, in the case intentionally it emits
electromagnetic radiation (for therapeutic use or for telecommunications), it is maintained a
suitable distance to avoid interference.
2.5 EMC tables
What mentioned above in a qualitative way, is better specified and quantified by the
following tables, prescribed by the standard EN 60601-1-2 and comprehensive of all types of
electromagnetic interference that may cause incompatibility between several units in a given
location.
The first table concerns the emissions of T CaRe Compact to other devices; the other three
relate to the ability of T CaRe Compact not to be affected by external disturbances; the last
table shows the separation distance required between RF communication devices and T
CaRe Compact . On the contrary a significant degradation in device performance may occur.
The following Warning should be noted:
"Portable RF communication devices (including peripheral devices such as antenna cables
and external antennas) should not be used within 30 cm (12 inches) from T Care Compact ,
including cables. Otherwise, the device may suffer degraded performance. "
The following tables are based on the test results, according to clause 6 of the EN 60601-1-2
standard.
In relation to the essential performances, the device does not provide immediate support for
the patient, certainly not life support. Therefore, there are no essential "therapeutic"
performances to be maintained in critical situations.
WARNING
T Care Compact is a Class A product. In a residential environment this device may cause
radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate
countermeasures.

2.6 Special prescriptions for the operator
There are no specific safety prescriptions for operators. If an operator wishes to test
the operation of the device on his own body, he must simply follow the
prescriptions for patients.
2.7 Special prescriptions for the patient
2.7.1 Contraindications
As a general rule it is important to observe the generic precautions related to the application
of superficial heat:
 acute inflammatory conditions or important vascular pain;
 tumours, reduced sensitivity, children and other individuals not able to understand
alarm sensations .
If the area to be treated has a reduced sensitivity to heat (for example for the presence of
scarring), it is necessary to perform a test of heat sensitivity in an area close to that to be
treated in order to determine the temperature value to be used in the treatment.
For patients carrying pacemakers or other electronic devices, it is necessary to consult the
specialist in cardiology (or other discipline, in the case of devices for applications other than
cardiology).
For patients with hypotension, long-term applications or applications on the cervical
vertebrae or spine may cause low arterial pressure; in this case it is necessary to suspend
the application until the pressure returns to normal values and then reduce the duration of
treatment or lengthen the interval between one session and another.
Before the treatment you should ensure that in the zone to be treated there are no metallic
parts that may overheat (plates, nails, prosthesis); also the materials that compose the
plastic prosthesis can be damaged by diathermy, especially if they are close to metal parts.
In particular, according to present knowledge, the apparatus T CaRe Plus should not be used
on patients with the characteristics listed below:
 pregnant women;
 patients wearing pacemakers
 unhealed skin lesions;
 patients with cancer, particularly when in the presence of metastases;
 patients with severe heart disease;
 patients with tuberculosis of the bone;
 patients with acute infections;
 patients during the menstrual cycle, in case the application should cover areas at risk
of haemorrhage;
 patients with acute skin diseases;
 diabetic patients with vascular problems.

Easytech s.r.l. – User Manual T CaRe Compact rev. D Pag. 14 di 36
2.7.2 Particular caution
In the following situations T Care Compact can be used under the constant supervision of a
physician and with the immediate interruption of treatment in case of occurrence of any
side effects:
 patients with ischemic tissues;
 patients whose thermal sensitivity and / or pain sensitivity is significantly reduced;
 patients subject to bleeding;
 patients suffering from thrombosis;
 older patients with fragile skin.
In addition:
 Note that the extreme temperature allowed by T CaRe Compact may at least cause skin
damage even on a healthy person if it is held in the same place for too long time. Getting
away from the indications of the guidelines may make sense in some cases, but it is
completely part of the experience - and the responsibility – of the operator;
 the operator must supervise the treatment during various stages in order to guarantee its
prompt intervention in case of need;
 the operator must use the equipment in accordance with the instructions contained in
this manual avoiding any action which might reduce the level of safety for himself and /
or for the patient.
 Patients with prostheses or other metal implants in the event that the application must
take place in the immediate vicinity of the implants.
2.8 Safety devices
T CaRe Compact is equipped with a software that continuously monitors the operation
ensuring that the values of the variables set and of those measured are consistent with each
other and each one falls within the ranges allowed.
In case of accidental interruption and subsequent recovery of the 220V main supply, the
device goes in stand-by mode waiting to be restarted by the operator.
The device is also equipped with safety devices for automatic overcurrent protection (fuses),
which act independently of the control software and are able to suspend the operation of
the entire apparatus.

3.2 Electrodes
It is necessary to use a reference electrode (fixed or movable) to treat with T Care Compact
and an active electrode of the resistive or capacitive type.
The movable electrode to be used should be applied on a handpiece which is connected to
the control unit through a cable and a connector: in order to prevent the incorrect assembly
of the electrodes, the threads of the handpieces differ depending on the type.
The electrodes for capacitive type applications have the surface coated with insulating
material, while fixed electrodes and the resistive electrodes have a conductive surface.
EasyTech provides electrodes of different shape and size.
- Resistive electrodes:
a) circular electrodes with a flat surface and three different sizes of diameter, 35mm,
55mm,
75mm;
b) cylindrical / wedge-shaped electrode (optional)
c) adhesive pad with clamp connector (optional)
d) Kit TMA (optional)
- Capacitive electrodes:
circular electrodes are available with flat surface and three different sizes of
diameter, 35mm, 55mm, 75mm;
- Fixed Reference Electrodes:
a) rectangular top;
b) rectangular flexible top with rubber edge (optional);
c) cylindrical (optional).
- Mobile reference electrode:
It is available as an option a circular electrode with flat surface.
The three standard electrodes provided with all machines are shown in figures 3.2, 3.3,
3.4.The figure 3.5 show a couple of elbow adapters (optional) useful for permit a different
positioning of the electrode (cap and res).

During the treatment a conductive and lubricant cream with a tick consistency must always
be used between the electrode and the skin and between skin and return plate (it’s valid
only for the steel return plate, because the disposables ones are pre-soaked with a
conductive gel).
Easytech invites to use the type of cream that comes with the device, tested and EC
marked.
The cream is made with standard ingredients tested in applications identical to the present.
The label on the package shows the list of ingredients.
