Introduction
Mio-Sonic is an innovative and advanced medical device for
ultrasound treatment. Thanks to its practicity it’s ideal for home use.
The sound is given by a body vibration that expands in the air with a
specific frequency and finally it reaches the ear. Sound frequency is
measured in Hertz (Hz) and it is the number of oscillations (pressure
variations) per second. The human ear can nominally hear sounds in
a range from 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. Wavelength is the spatial period of
the wave in a complete oscillation.
Ultrasounds are mechanical sound waves with frequencies higher
than frequencies audible by the human ear.
Ultrasounds mechanical waves, generated by piezoelectric elements,
are used in different industrial fields for years.
Thanks to the study of ultrasound waves in human application new
diagnostic medical instrumentation has been built and they are
widely used in gynecology, gastroenterology, hagiology and
cardiology.
These instrumentations uses back-echo resulting from ultrasound
beam that spreads in the human body and it is decelerated in
different ways by anatomic structures. Each tissue has a specific
acoustic impedance so ultrasound wave crossing through anatomic
structures provokes different biological effects. Thermal Effect is the
first effect that has a pain-killer function in orthopedics, sport
medicine and in aesthetic fields for cellulite and adipose tissue
treatment.
How do ultrasound waves generate heat?
Ultrasound waves loss energy when they
cross through the tissues. The delivered
energy is given to the crossed anatomic
structure. Then energy to heat conversion
increases significantly local temperature, in
particular between tissues with different
acoustic impedance (for example bone/soft tissues), and increases
microcirculation. The bloodstream helps to dissipate the increased
heat.
There are also Not Thermal Effects in ultrasound waves
propagation.

IACER Srl 5 di 24 MNPG71 Rev. 03 del 12/09/16
The first are the Mechanical Effects caused by the ultrasound
waves force on the cells that move toward low-pressure zones. As a
consequence cells torsions and rotations with small vortexes happen
in interstitial fluids (streaming).
These pressure variations can provoke permeability alterations of
cells membranes (biochemical and biological effects). In case of
adipose cells pressure variations promotes complex molecules
liberation as fats that are released in circulatory system and
subsequently they are eliminated through lymphatic system and
micro-circulation.
Another aspect related to biochemical effect is the Phonophoresis,
a technique that introduces drugs in tissues through the ultrasounds.
A non –thermal effect is the Cavitation.
In therapeutic field the ultrasounds are obtained in an artificial way.
In fact some mineral crystals are able to dilate and condense when
they are subjected to electric field action. Ultrasound irradiation
creates some vibrations and a consequent intensive micro-massage
on tissues in depth and as a consequence heat is generated
(ultrasounds interaction with biological tissues has mechanical,
thermal, chemical and cavitation effects).
Ultrasounds therapy is particularly
indicated for locomotor apparatus
pathologies in order to obtain an
analgesic effect, in sciatic pain and
neuritis, in periarticular calcifications, in
Duplay’s disease, in Dupuytren’s
disease, in hematomas and in heal
tissues, in tendinitis, in muscle
contractures. The ultrasounds can be
used also in cellulite treatment by activating local circulation and by
decreasing orange-peel effect. They promotes active substances
penetration like essential oils, liposolubil vitamins (for example
vitamin A and E) and water-soluble agents through skin by relaxing
the tissues with great results in wrinkles treatment.
Ultrasounds result very efficacious in anti-inflammatory process
that re-generate tissues in case of acne, in fats movement for tissue
metabolism promotion, with positive effects also on vascularization
and lymphatic drainage.

Before and after using Mio Sonic clean and disinfect ultrasound head
with a disinfectant solution.
Instructions
1. Connect the power supply plug to the device.
2. Put a good quantity of ultrasound gel on the area to be
treated. The gel is an important factor in order to guarantee a

IACER Srl 11 di 24 MNPG71 Rev. 03 del 12/09/16
right combination between the treated zone and the
ultrasound head so finally the therapy efficacy.
3. Move the on ON/OFF switch on ON position: PWR led and L
(low intensity) led will be switched on.
4. Put the ultrasound head on the area to be treated.
5. Select the intensity using the button MODE: middle intensity
led (M) and high intensity led (H) will light up sequentially.
6. Select the treatment time using the button TIME: 5-10-15 leds
will light up sequentially and the device will start to work.
ATTENTION: in ultrasound treatment we recommend an
adjusted intensity equal to M. If you use intensities equal to H
pay attention to keep ultrasound head in continuous movement.
Intensity equal to L corresponds to 0,08 W/cm2, M corresponds
to 0,90 W/cm2and H corresponds to 1,6 W/cm2.
ATTENTION: the device is equipped with a right combination
detector between the ultrasound head and patient skin in order
to guarantee patient safety. In case of wrong combination the
treatment time led starts flashing.
ATTENTION: it’s important to keep in continuous movement
ultrasound head on the treated area during the therapy with
slow and circular or vertical (at least of 7-8 cm) movements. It’s
forbidden to keep ultrasound head fixed in a point during the
treatment.
Analgesic and decontracting treatments
In the imagines pain zones are illustrated by the red color and
trigger points by the blue color.
Make reference to the figures in the attached table PAIN ZONES
AND TRIGGER POINTS in order to get details and suggestions
about treatable pathologies.
Pain zones could be different from trigger points as it’s illustrated in
the figures.

IACER Srl 12 di 24 MNPG71 Rev. 03 del 12/09/16
First we recommend a daily treatment of 10 minutes for a period
of 21 days. If the pain persists we suggest a therapy interruption
of 7 days and eventually you can start a new therapy cycle of 21
days.

Cavitation
Cavitation is a physical fenomena that consists in the formation of
vapor zones within a fluid. The fluid dissolved gas forms vapor
bubbles or cavities due to ultrasound pressure decrease. Then vapor
bubbles collapses because of movement in high pressure zones.
The delivered energy produces different reactions on the surrounding
areas.

IACER Srl 13 di 24 MNPG71 Rev. 03 del 12/09/16
Cavitation applications
Acoustic waves with frequency from 1 to 16 Mhz are used in medical
field both for diagnosis and dermatoligic purposes. In fact these
waves produces a thermal and analgesic effect and also a cavitation
effect than can be used for kidney stones removal (litotrissia).
Microbubbles collapse destroys kidney stones and it pulverizes solid
substances within the kidney. Moreover cavitation effect is used in
aesthetic medecine in order to decrease or eliminate adiposities.
This technique is called non-surgical liposuction.
Cellulite is a deasese affecting the hypoderma that is a tissue under
the dermal tissue and with an adipose nature. The consequence is
an increase of adipose cells volume, like so hydric retention and
liquids stasis in the inter-cell spaces.
There are three kinds of cellulite desease:
Compact: this type of cellulite causes an oedema that is a
liquids concentration; it appears in adipose tissue in particular
near the ankles, calfs, thighs and it’s present also in persons
with good health conditions and with tonic muscles.
Flaccid: is found in middle-age persons with hypo-tonic
muscles.
Edematous: is the progression of compact cellulite and it
appears in presence of circulatory pathologies.
Cavitation and aesthetic
Aesthetic cavitation consists in low frequency (0,03-3 MHz)
ultrasound waves application that generates vapor bubbles in
adipose tissue. These bubbles rapidly implode delivering energy that
breaks up adipose cell and transform localised fat in a form which
can be easily eliminated by lymphatic system and urinary way and
with the help of a right drainage.
In aesthetic field 3 MHz ultrasounds has been used for years.
Recently new studies induce ultrasound devices manufacturers to
decrease working frequencies since ultrasounds ability to penetrate
in depth in tissues is in inverse proportion to the ultrasound beam
frequency. Nowadays the marketing offers 3MHz,1MHz till 0,03MHz
ultrasound devices.

IACER Srl 14 di 24 MNPG71 Rev. 03 del 12/09/16
Application
Ultrasound head has to work in a uniform way on the area to be
treated in order to avoid adipose anti-aesthetic and solid masses on
non-treated areas.
Ultrasound head has to be in continuous movement in order to
avoid treated zone overheating.
Ultrasound head has to be in continuous contact with the treated
zone through a conductive gel, better if it’s a gel with active
ingredient.
We always recommend to treat a maximum area of 20cmX20cm size
for 10 minutes, afterwards treat an adjacent area in order to treat
finally all interested area.
This kind of treatment can be done with hours or days intervals or
consecutively between the different areas.
Cream or gel use with active ingredients promotes ultrasound action.
In fact ultrasound action promotes substances and active principles
penetration into the tissues (Phonophoresis). As a consequence
ultrasound effect will be amplified if you use a specific active
principle.
Cavitation purpose is to transform adipose cells (fat) in a form
which can be easily eliminated by lymphatic system. After a
cavitation treatment we heartily recommend to do optionally:
a walk at a fast pace for 30/40 minutes
a pressotherapy treatment for 20/30 minutes
swimming for 20/30 minutes
in order to promote “liquid” fat elimination.
Thanks to their effects (thermal, chimical, mechanical, cavitation)
ultrasounds are indicated for:
3MHz beam,
characteristically more
collimated but with
lower tissue
penetration.
1MHz beam,
characteristically less
collimated but with
higher tissue
penetration.

IACER Srl 15 di 24 MNPG71 Rev. 03 del 12/09/16
local sanguine circulation stimulation
skin trophism improvement
cell oxygenation.
Treatments
Ultrasound treatments for drainage/cellulite problems concern the
following body areas:
Thigh
Calfs
Hips (pads)
Ankles
Knees
Gluteus
Arms
Abdomen (with M level as maximum ultrasound intensity)
Cellulite and drainage: each treatment has to be done on a
maximum area 20x20 cm size for 10 minutes. Consequently a thigh
complete treatment will depend on thigh dimension and it will last
from 20 to 30 minutes.
