3 General information
3.1 Shortwave diathermy applications
The Auto*Therm®395 is a shortwave diathermy device that operates at 27.12 MHz. It provides
traditional shortwave diathermy therapy using condenser and electromagnetic inductive coil fields in
both continuous and pulsed modes of operation. Therefore, it is suited for all diathermy treatments in
both the clinic and the medical practice.
The use of shortwave diathermy for heat therapy has the advantage of penetrating deeper than other
conventional methods, such as hot packs, infrared lights and heat pillows, and even microwave
diathermy.
The heat generated by shortwave diathermy induces a whole range of physiological effects. It relaxes
muscles, tendons and other connective tissues, and increases blood circulation in the treatment area.
When shortwave diathermy is applied in short, high-energy pulses the depth of penetration is
increased, having a particularly positive effect on the blood circulation, while the temperature sensitive
skin hardly feels the heat.
Shortwave diathermy can be applied over a large area of the skin’s surface.
3.2 Unit description
The Auto*Therm 395 has four wheels for easy transportation between treatment rooms. Two of these
wheels have brakes that can be locked to prevent movement during use.
The membrane control panel is mounted on the top of the unit. It is easily cleaned and contains all the
controls and displays for operating the Auto*Therm 395.
The intensity control knob (17) adjusts the output power via an encoder. The power switch (1)
(ON/OFF) is on the upper left side of the unit. Screw holes for attaching the arms are located on the
rear of the unit (35).The sockets for connecting the cables for the condenser (31) and inductive coil
(30) applicators and the detachable mains power supply cable (33) including fuses are also located on
the back of the unit. The ripcord (34) for the patient emergency-0FF switch passes through a bushing
mounted on the back of the unit so that it can be pulled from all directions.
3.3 Arms
The arms are mounted at the rear of the appliance (35) by means of keyhole type connectors (27).
Both arms must be installed to use the condenser applicators that must be used in pairs. The
inductive coil applicators require only one arm to be installed. Both arms can be attached to the
device so that you can change applicators at will. The clinician can safely position the applicators in
widely differing treatment positions because the arm has five locking joints. The arms are made of
high quality flame-resistant plastic material so that they can be used to guide and hold the applicator
cables in order to avoid inadvertent contact between patient and cables.
Refer to the illustration of the arm assembly on page 5 for all the following instructions. With the
exception of the horizontal swing of arm and hinge (20) of the applicator hoIder (19),all hinges can be
adjusted by the user as the treatment demands.
The lock knob (26) on the lower rotating hinge (25) locks the whole arm in position, even when the
arm is maximally extended. The other main hinges (21; 23) that control the length and height of the
arm can be adjusted after the appropriate knobs have been loosened. To do this, it is practical to
support the arm above the hinge that has been loosened (20) or (21).
The shaft of condenser or inductive coil applicators is inserted into the aperture of applicator holder
(19) until the slide (18) snaps shut.

14
When using an inductive coil applicator with a fixed connection cable, feed the cable through the
aperture first before attaching the applicator. Remove the applicator by pushing back the slide (18)
and pulling the applicator out of the hoIder. The central joint of the arm (23) is factory-adjusted to a
basic braking force. After long-term application, it may be necessary to readjust the basic braking
force due to wearing of plastic parts and brake disks. To adjust this joint, remove the blue cover using
a screwdriver and tighten the hexagonal bolt located below the cover by about a half turn.
Adjust the breaking of the horizontal motion of the arm at the joint (25) by tightening the lower slotted
nut.
3.4 Applicators and applicator cables
Inductive coil as well as condenser applicators may be used with the Auto*Therm 395 (see Section 10,
Accessories).
3.4.1 Condenser applicators (spaced applicators)
Three pairs of different diameters are available. The optimum ratio of the fixed electrode-to-skin
distance (measured from the outside of the applicator casing to the inner electrode plate) and the
corresponding electrode area is characteristic for applicators used with the Auto*Therm 395. This
results in low-loss transmission of the high frequency energy from the generator via applicator to the
patient (for further information see 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6).
3.4.2 Flexible condenser applicators
These applicators are available in two different-sized pairs. The permanently attached, highly flexible
cable ensures maximum flexibility at the point of applicator connection and high adaptability to bent or
curved parts of the patient‘s body. The optimum distance between the applicator and the skin is
achieved by using thick felt spacers that have to be placed in a cloth bag together with the applicator.
One to three of the 5 mm thick felt spacers are used for tuning between electrode and skin. The
number of spacers depends on the application and characteristics of the tissue. Velcro fasteners or
rubber bands may be used for fastening these applicators.
3.4.3 Inductive coil applicators
Three different sizes of the inductive coil applicators are available to adjust to the size and volume of
different treatment areas (for further information see 5.4 and 5.5).
This inductive coil applicator uses the high frequency magnetic field generated by the inductive coil of
an electrical resonant circuit for therapy. All inductive coil applicators of the Auto*Therm 395 are
electrically shielded and connected to the unit via removable, shielded cables.
This means, electric interference of nearby devices (neuromuscular stimulators, etc.) is avoided as
much as possible. Additionally, the removable shielded cables are fitted with a special EMC filter to
suppress harmonic interferences.
3.4.4 Applicator connection cables for condenser applicators
Highly flexible, low-loss special cables (29) are used to connect the condenser applicators to the unit.
A hooked connector is provided to prevent damage or kinking of the cable in the applicator connection
area. Electrically superior, flame-resistant silicone insulating materials have been used to avoid cable
defects and help prevent probems when used incorrectly (e.g. in case the cables touch each other).
Patients should not touch the cables during treatment to avoid undesired heat application. Therefore,
any extra cable should be fed through the lower arm (24) to secure it. If necessary, insulate the
patient from the cables by placing several layers of towelling between the patient and the cables.

3.5 Cleaning and disinfecting
Turn off the unit and unplug it from the mains power supply before cleaning or disinfecting it. Clean
and disinfect the unit and its accessories (except for the felt spacers) with commerciaIly available
surface disinfectants.
To prevent damage to the surface materials of the Auto*Therm 395, use only surface disinfectants
based on agents like aldehydes, alcohol or ammonium compounds that are suitable for wipe and
spray disinfection. Use them according to their instructions for use and duration of action.
To prevent possible material damage, avoid the use of products based on halogen-splitting
compounds, strong organic acids and oxygen-splitting compounds, solvents, benzene and similar
agents.
ATTENTION:
Do not allow any liquids to penetrate the unit or its accessories while cleaning and disinfecting. Dry all
sockets and connectors that have become wet before any further use!
ATTENTION:
The Auto*Therm 395 generates high frequency electric and magnetic fields that can penetrate walls,
ceilings and floors. lt cannot be prevented that components of these fields exist in the vicinity of the
device. Sensitive electronic instruments, that are in the immediate vicinity of the Auto*Therm 395, can
be adversely affected by these fields. This danger largely depends on the distance between the
devices. Therefore, the Auto*Therm 395 must not be installed any closer than 5 meters from other
sensitive devices, if possible farther. The applicators should never be applied to sensitive devices,
e.g. neuromuscular electrical stimulators or their electrodes or cables.
This problem can be completely eliminated when the Auto*Therm 395 is installed in a shielded room,
i.e. one containing a Faraday cage. (A Faraday cage is enclosed by a metal housing or grid that
prevents the penetration of electric fields.)
Use of absorbing curtains is enough for most treatment rooms.
We recommend that operators and other persons keep a distance of at least 2 meters to applicators
and cables while they are in use. In case of doubt, it is recommended to measure the field strength.
Pregnant women must not operate the appliance.

4 Indications, Contraindications and Precautions for Shortwave
Diathermy
4.1 Indications
Shortwave diathermy delivers energy in the radio band of 27.12 MHz to provide deep heating
therapeutic effects to body tissues. When shortwave diathermy is delivered to the body at intensities
capable of generating a deep tissue temperature increase, it can be used to treat selected medical
conditions such as:
1. Relieving pain
2. Reducing muscle spasm
3. Increasing range of motion of contracted joints using heat and stretch techniques.
4. Increasing blood flow to tissues in the treatment area.
4.2 Contraindications
1. Diathermy must not be applied over areas of the body which may contain metal (implants, surgical
staples, etc.) for heat will become concentrated in that area increasing the possibility of tissue
damage and deep burns.
2. Any patient with an implanted electronic device such as a cardiac pacemaker, bladder stimulator,
spinal cord stimulator or electrodes for a myoelectric prosthesis, or implanted metallic leads, must
not be treated with shortwave diathermy and should not be in the vicinity of the Auto*Therm®395
when it is in operation.
3. Do not treat on a metal treatment table, mattress with metal springs, wheel chair or a metal stool.
Make sure that the patient cannot come into any contact with metal during treatment.
4. Remove clothing from the treatment area. Any metal contained in the clothing, such as zippers,
bra hooks or rivets may cause burning. In addition remove jewelry and watches during treatment.
5. Remove hearing aids and watches during treatment to prevent interference with or damage to
these devices.
6. Do not treat over the pelvic or low back area when an IUD is present.
7. Shortwave diathermy should not be applied over the pregnant or potentially pregnant uterus.
Therefore, shortwave diathermy should not be applied over the uterus unless specific assurance
can be attained from the patient that she is not pregnant.
8. Shortwave diathermy should not be applied to the eye.
9. Neoplastic tissues or space occupying lesions should not be exposed to shortwave diathermy.
10. Shortwave diathermy should not be applied to the testes to avoid increases in temperature.
11. Do not treat ischemic tissues in individuals with vascular disease where the blood supply would be
unable to follow the increase in metabolic demand and tissue necrosis might result.
12. Shortwave diathermy should not be applied over the epiphyseal areas (bone growth centers) of
the bones of growing children.
4.3 Precautions
1. Shortwave diathermy should not be applied in areas of reduced sensation or circulation. Patients
having reduced sensation will not be able to notify the practitioner of discomfort if the intensities
are too high. Patients with compromised circulation may have an excessive heat buildup in the
treatment area.

18
2. Any bleeding tendency is increased by heating because of the increase in blood flow and
vascularity of the heated tissues. Care, therefore, should be used in treating patients with
therapeutic shortwave diathermy who have bleeding disorders.
3. Heating of the joint capsule in acute or subacute arthritis should be avoided.
4. Use a single layer of toweling to absorb moisture during treatment with the inductive drum
applicators.
5. Shortwave diathermy may interfere with other electronic therapeutic devices such as
neuromuscular stimulators and therapeutic ultrasound units. Never use another electronic device
on the same patient when shortwave diathermy isbeing applied.
6. Use caution when treating obese patients with capacitive plate electrodes since this method of
application may heat fat excessively.

As mentioned above, any programming is possible only when the intensity display (15) shows “000”.
5.5 Connecting the applicators
The applicators are electrically connected to receptacles (30) or (31).
The coax cable of the inductive coil applicator is connected to receptacle (30). The threaded cap of
the plug is screwed onto the receptacle until tight. Plug the pair of condenser cables into their
respective receptacles (31) by pushing them in as far as they can go.
Please, plug in only the condenser applicator cables or the inductive coil applicator cable into their
receptacle(s) (30) or (31).
Do not plug in all three cables or applicators simultaneously.
5.6 Treatment time
Adjust treatment time by pressing the “+” button (12),to increase time, or the “-“ button (13), to
decrease time. Selected time is displayed in the time display window (14). Pressing the buttons
momentarily will increase or decrease time in 1-minute intervals. Holding the buttons down will
change the time in 5-minute intervals. When both buttons are simultaneously pressed the time is reset
to “0”.
The maximum treatment time is 30 minutes. You may also change the time during a treatment.
After the time is set, the Auto*Therm 395 starts automatically when the intensity control (17) is turned
clockwise. “A” is shown in the time display while the unit is tuning to the patient. After the tuning
process is complete, the selected treatment time appears again in the display (14). The remaining
treatment time is shown in the time display (14) during the treatment session. When treatment time is
complete, an “E” is shown in the intensity display (15), a “0” is shown in the time display (14) and a
ten second audible beep is produced. The “E” is replaced by a “0” after one minute to indicate that
another treatment may begin at any time.
5.7 Setting the intensity
Position the applicator(s) on the treatment area. Program the settings described in sections 5.3, 5.4
and 5.6. Then, adjust the intensity using intensity control knob (17).If any parameters have not been
set, “F E” is shown in the intensity display (15).If “F E” is displayed, turn the intensity control knob to
the left to remove the error indication and then complete the setup procedure.
Please note: It is important to place the applicator(s) on the patient with the applicator(s) attached to
