-Portable RF evices can affect the functioning of the evice. Do not use mobile phones or
other evices that emit electromagnetic fiel s nearby. This may result in incorrect
operation of the unit.
-Only use the evice for the recommen e applications.
-Do not use the evice in presence of inflammable anesthetic mixture an in environments
with high concentrations of oxygen. I.A.C.E.R. will not be hel responsible for any acci ent
if the above instructions are not complie with in full.

Warnings
-Make sure of the evice connection to an electrical system in conformity with the current
National laws.
-Care must be taken when operating this equipment aroun other equipment. Potential
electromagnetic or other interference coul occur to this or to the other equipment. Try
to minimize this interference by not using other equipment in conjunction with I-TECH
UT1.
-Before a ministering any treatment to a patient you shoul become acquainte with the
operating proce ures for each mo e of treatment available, as well as the in ications,
contrain ications, warnings an precautions. Consult other resources for a itional
information regar ing the application of Ultrasoun .
-To avoi the risk of electric shock isconnect the evice from the electrical system before
maintenance service.
-Use of accessories, trans ucers an cables other than those specifie here (even as
internal spare parts) may result in EM immunity re uction or in EM emissions increase.
-The evice must not be use in the same environment where magnetic resonance evices
are working or are installe .
Contraindications
-Ultrasoun therapy must not be performe near the uterus on pregnant women or those
who suspect they might be pregnant. Therefore the ultrasoun beam shoul not be use
in this area without ensuring that the patient is not pregnant.
-This evice shoul not be use over the thoracic area if the patient is using a car iac
pacemaker in or er to avoi interferences between the ultrasoun evice an the
pacemaker.
- Do not irect the beam towar s or near the eyes.
-This evice shoul not be use over car iac area.
-This evice shoul not be use over neoplastic lesions.
-Do not use near testicles not to increase their temperature.
-The treatment with ultrasoun s shoul be avoi e in those areas affecte by
thrombophlebitis not to make the thrombus move. Avoi treating patients with eep vein
thrombosis, embolism or arteriosclerosis..
-Tissues that have previously been treate with X rays or other ra iations shoul not be
treate with ultrasoun s.
-Using ultrasoun s on the stellate ganglion, on the spinal column after a laminectomy, on
the area surroun ing the main nerves or the cranium shoul be avoi e .
-This evice shoul not be use on ischemic tissues in in ivi uals with vascular isease
where the bloo supply woul be unable to follow the increase in metabolic eman an
tissue necrosis might result.
-This evice shoul not be use over a healing fracture.
-Avoi using ultrasoun s near bone growth centres in ki s/growing chil ren.
Precautions
-Ultrasoun s shoul not be use on areas with re uce sensitivity or circulation. Patients
experiencing re uce sensitivity may not be able to warn their therapist/ octor when the
ultrasoun is too intense. Patients experiencing circulation problems may suffer from an
excessive increase of temperature in the treate area.
-If the patient feels a eep an sharp pain uring the treatment, the intensity must be
re uce to a comfortable level.
-The ten ency to blee is increase by the heat as more bloo flows in the area. Be careful
when treating patients with blee ing isor ers.
-We a vise moving the hea if the intensity is more than 0,5 W/ sq cm.
-Avoi heating or overheating the capsule in cases of acute an subacute arthritis.
-This evice shoul not be use for symptomatic local pain relief unless etiology is
establishe or unless a pain syn rome has been iagnose .
-This evice shoul not be use when cancerous lesions are present in the treatment area.
-Cautions shoul be use for patients affecte by the following iseases: areas of the spinal
column which un erwent a laminectomy, anesthesise areas, patients with blee ing
isor ers.
-Ultrasoun shoul be routinely checke before each use to etermine that all controls
function normally, especially that the intensity control oes properly a just the intensity
of the ultrasonic power output in stable manner. Also, etermine that the treatment time
control oes actually terminate ultrasonic power output when the timer reaches zero.
-Han le the han piece with care to preserve its characteristics.
-Before using the evice pay attention to the appllicators an hea integrity in or er to
avoi the ingress of liqui s.
-The ultrasoun therapy controls unit is not esigne to prevent the ingress of water or
liqui s. Ingress of water of liqui s coul cause malfunction of internal components of
system an therefore create risk of injury to the patient/user.
Unwanted effects
-In case of un esire effects, suspen the therapy, stop using the evice straight away an
contact your octor.
-Follow the instructions in or er to minimise the un esire effects of the ultrasoun
therapy.
