Intended use
The emFieldPro is an electrically powered device intended for medical purposes
that repeatedly contracts muscle tissue by passing electrical currents through
electrodes non-contacting the affected body area. In addition, the device is intended
to provide entirely non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation of pelvic floor
musculature for the purpose of rehabilitation of weak pelvic muscles and restoration
of neuromuscular control for the treatment of urinary incontinence in humans.

Caution!
Note:
After the transport and before switching on the device, make sure that the swiveling
wheels are in the ‘locked’ position.
Make sure that the emFieldPro is placed on a stable and flat surface
Connect mains cable
Connect the mains cable (23) to the socket on the device (11) and connect it to the
mains.
The device may only be connected to earthed sockets
Switching the device
on
Caution!
Caution!
Switch on the device with the power switch (12)
Be aware that connecting the power cable with the power switch turned on may
cause malfunction.
If the transducer is used while in a tilted position, the cooling oil will not reach all
sections of the transducer and damage the transducer due to overheating. For this
reason, it is recommended to place the transducer in a horizontal position as much
as possible.
When separating the transducer from the transducer arm supporter, the pressure of
the gas spring may cause the arm to jump up and the transducer may fall off. Be
sure to hold the transducer with one hand while holding the arm supporter vertically.
When replacing the transducer, be sure to mount the arm support vertically as well.

Caution!
Switching the device
off
After using the emFieldPro for a long time, the transducer arm may be stuck down or
up. In this case, the position of the transducer arm can be changed by adjusting the
gas spring pressure. To lower the arm supporter, turn the hexagonal wrench bolt in
the () direction as shown in the figure below, and turn it in the () direction to lift it
upwards.
To adjust the transducer arm use only the supplied hex key (24).
The device is switched off using the power switch (12).
In order to completely disconnect the device (all-phase) from the mains, remove the
mains cable.
