1.1 Indications for Use
WARNING
The instrument must only be operated by medical practicioners who have undergone special
training. Use by unqualified personnel or consumers bears the risk of serious injury.
The function of HIVAMAT™ 200 Personal is based on a pulsed electrostatic field which is built up in the
patient's body region to be treated. Its frequency changes between 5 - 250 Hz, according to the selec-ted
program. Due to the movement of the hand applicator or the therapists' gloved hands, a vibrating or
pumping effect with deep impact is induced in the patient's tissue.
Treatment with HIVAMAT™ 200 Personal has the following positive effects on the treated tissue:
• muscles are relaxed
• alleviation of pain is enhanced
• mobility is promoted
1.2 Contraindications

• untreated malignant processes
• erysipelas
• patients and therapists with cardiac pacemakers and other electronic implants
• heart disorders and diseases, especially cardiac insufficiency, decompensated cardiac edema, and car-
diac arrhythmia
• pregnancy
• hypersensitivity to electrostatic fields
• infectious skin diseases
• vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI)
1.3 Warnings
(a) Pulsed electrostatic fields should not be applied over swollen, infected, or inflamed areas or skin
erup-tions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.
(b) Pulsed electrostatic fields should not be applied over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.
