Device types and uses

• Handheld ultrasound therapy unit (U1): handheld design with a rechargeable battery and an ultrasound therapy head, suited to outpatient and bedside use.
• Ultrasound phonophoresis unit (UD30): uses direct current to convert drug molecules into ions that are introduced through the skin and mucosa, combined with ultrasound energy acting on the local tissue.
• Electrolysis therapy equipment (E8): supplied with a dedicated treatment probe and acting on the treatment site through intelligent microcurrent; the applicable scope is that stated in the product registration certificate.

How it works

As ultrasound travels through a medium it produces mechanical, thermal and cavitation effects, and combined with variable-frequency current and targeted drug delivery it acts on soft tissue. The devices offer several output modes with adjustable treatment time, and output stops automatically when the head is not in contact.

• Mechanical effect: loosens soft tissue and improves tissue condition.
• Thermal effect: generates heat within deeper tissue and improves local circulation.
• Cavitation effect: accelerates the diffusion of body fluids.

Where it fits

• Hospital rehabilitation, physiotherapy and pain departments: physical therapy of soft tissue.
• Community health centres and township health centres: routine physiotherapy services.
• Traditional Chinese medicine and rehabilitation clinics: TCM physiotherapy and rehabilitation support.
• Home use: the handheld model can be used at home, following the manual.

Common purchasing questions

Q: How do I choose between the three types of device?
A: By intended use. Choose the U1 where a handheld, easily moved unit is wanted; the UD30 where drug delivery is part of the treatment; electrolysis equipment according to the treatment programme of the department. The applicable scope is that stated in the product registration certificate.

Q: What is the difference between handheld and bench-top units?
A: The handheld unit has a built-in battery and a small footprint, suited to outpatient and bedside use; bench-top units or those with a workstation are more fully equipped and suit a fixed consulting room.

Q: How is treatment time controlled?
A: Treatment time is adjustable and output stops automatically once the set time is reached; operating instructions and contraindications are set out in the product manual.

Q: Are there registration or filing documents?
A: Registration and filing details are those in the documents supplied with the goods and confirmed by our product department.
