USER MANUAL HCR 1002

1.1 DEVICE PRESENTATION
The technology
HCR 1002 is a scientifically and technologically advanced device, whose technical and therapeutic
principles are based on the use of high-frequency variable alternating current, with direct low-impedance
diathermic application mode (Resistive Electric Transfer - RES) and insulated high-impedance
diathermic application (Capacitive Electric Transfer - CAP).
The trademarks
TECAR® and TECARTERAPIA® are internationally registered trademarks belonging to UNIBELL Srl and
used as brands to cover an ample range of devices and functional cosmetics.
The terms “tecar” and “tecarterapia”, improperly used to define therapeutic treatment with devices
technologically similar to the present device,do not define either the technical and functional peculiarities
nor the performance of other devices; they should be exclusively used to define the characteristics and
performance of this specific tool belonging to the HCR series of devices and identified by the HUMAN
TECAR® brand.
The physiological effects and therapeutic use
The physiological eects on tissue of this energy transfer are prevalently temperature-related
owing to the Joule eect, and biochemical eects on metabolism, as they typically do not stimulate
neuromuscular activity and do not determine electrolytic phenomena or consequent depolarization.
Local increase in body temperature, moreover, reactivates micro-capillary circulation in depth,
consequently increasing blood flow and lymphatic circulation and thus eliminating catabolites and/or
supplying nutrients, as well as increasing oxygenation of tissues.
The device is a physiotherapeutic tool used in rehabilitation from conditions better detailed further
below.
Required skills
HCR 1002 is for the exclusive use of healthcare sta, physicians and/or physiotherapists.
It can be used in clinics and doctor’s oces – for physiotherapeutic and rehabilitation purposes in
general – and in hospitals, though not necessarily in a hospital context. Necessary precautions should
be taken, as detailed in paragraph 13.
