INSTRUCTION FOR THE USER OF SHORTWAVE THERAPY

Please read this instruction manual carefully before using SSD-500 because it is unsafe to start using the device before reading the whole manual. The instructions on the following pages will show you how to use and care for your SSD-500 in a general manner. You should be particularly familiar with the prescription information and precautions before proceeding.

CAUTION : This device should be used only under the continued supervision of a physician or licensed practitioner.

1.1 Indications for use:

• Increased circulation
• Increased out-flow of lymph
• Increased removal of waste products
• Relaxation of spastic muscles
• Overall reduction of pain and decrease spasm
• Vasodilatation

It provides therapeutic heat indicated for the treatment of:

• Disorders of the muscloskeletal system, e.g. degenerative joint disease
• Chronic rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
• Sprains & Strains
• Hematoma
• Muscle and tendon tears
• Capsule lesions
• Inflammatory conditions (chronic or acute)
• Carbuncles Sinusitis
• Pelvis conditions

1.2 Contraindications

Shortwave Therapy is contraindicated for treatment in following cases:

• Pacemakers : Some but not all pacemakers can be adversely influenced by shortwave and pulsed shortwave fields. The current recommendation is that a 3m separation should be maintained between a patient with a pacemaker and an operating shortwave (continuous or pulsed) unit.
• Over Bleeding Tissues: It is fine to apply pulsed shortwave diathermy soon after an injury so long as in the clinical judgment of the therapist, tissue bleeding has stopped.
• Hemorrhage: The heating of tissues by a diathermy current causes dilatation of blood vessels, so it should not be employed directly after an injury or in any case where hemorrhage has recently occurred it should not be applied to the abdomen or pelvis during menstruation nor should it be used for conditions in which hemorrhage might occur, such as gastric or intestinal diseases associated with ulceration or hemophilia.
• Malignancy : Pulsed shortwave diathermy, like Ultrasound and Laser has the capacity to increase the rate of division of malignant tissue.
• Avoid active epiphysis regions in children.
• Severe circulatory compromise or deficit including ischemic tissue, thrombosis and associated conditions.
• Arterial disease : SSD-500 should not be applied to parts which have a defective arterial blood supply. The inability of the circulation to disperse the heat could result in an increase of temperature to a level which could produce a tissue burn. Moreover the unsatisfied tissue demand for nutrients could precipitate gangrene.
• Pregnancy : SSD-500 should not be applied to the abdomen or pelvis during pregnancy. Disturbed skin sensation it is safer to avoid the application of diathermy to areas where there is loss skin sensation.
• Tumors : SSD-500 should not be applied in the region of malignant growths. The increase in metabolism resulting from the increase in temperature could accelerate the rate of growth.
• X-ray therapy : X-rays devitalize the tissues and render them more susceptible to damage. SSD-500 should therefore not be applied to areas recently exposed to therapeutic of X-Rays.
• Patients at particular risk: It is unsafe to apply SSD-500 to patients who are unable to understand the degree of heating required and the necessity of reporting excessive heating. For this reason small children and mental defectives are not suitable for treatment, similarly it is not safe to treat unconscious patients or those who are liable to lose consciousness, such as epileptics.

1.3 Warnings

• Should not be used while sleeping.
• Persons with pacemakers or other implants, who have cancer or cognitive dysfunction, who have epilepsy, who have had recent surgery or injury, are under medical care or who are pregnant should not use the product unless they have cleared it with their doctor first.
• Do not use the unit in close proximity (Approx 3 Mtr.) to short wave or microwave therapy equipment or if you are connected to high-frequency surgical equipment (e.g. diathermy) because of the risk of device malfunction due to electronic interference.
• This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent pain or disease.
• From considerations of safety, only original electrode cables and electrodes from manufacturers should be used.
• The patient must be in sight of the therapist at all times.

1.4 Precautions

• Avoid treatment of the abdomen and pelvis during menstruation.
• Avoid specialized tissues such as eye and chest.
• The electrode cables must run free from surrounding objects and must maintain sufficient distance with respect to each other as well as with respect to the treated patient.
• The patient must be warned not to touch the electrodes.
• Any electrical current applied to the head may cause giddiness. All diathermy treatments to the head should be given with the patient fully supported and if possible, with the head in a horizontal or an erect position.
• The action of cardiac pace-makers, hearing aids and other electronic devices may be affected by disturbances set up by the short wave diathermy current.
• Leads may be damaged by overheating if they are allowed to make contact with a conductor.
• Treatments should not be carried out with the patient resting on a spring mattress, as sparking between the springs may be sufficient to ignite the mattress.
• Metal objects and anything that is damp should be removed from the vicinity of the area to be treated i.e. at least 30 cm away from the electrodes.
• Wounds and sinuses must be cleansed and covered with a dry dressing before commencing treatment.
• Hearing aids must be removed and left well away from the unit, as induced currents may cause serious damage to them.

1.5 Adverse Reaction

Some patients may experience minor heat burns, blisters or skin irritation due to the concentration of electric field, hypersensitivity, impaired blood flow or skin being in contact with leads. Patients may feel giddiness due to improper position during treatment or slight faintness in some cases. If burns or inflammation persist discontinue treatment and consult your therapist.

INTRODUCTION

Your health care provider has chosen to prescribe or order the SSD-500 for your use. The SSD-500 has been designed by engineers with years of expertise and knowledge in the medical device industry. This is one of the first Shortwave Therapy SSD-500 is a device that uses electromagnetic energy in the shortwave frequency range (3-30 MHz) for therapeutic purposes. The unit includes the shortwave generator with all associated electronics, controls, enclosures and the electrodes. The shortwave generator generates radio- frequency radiation and transfers it, via cables and electrodes (pad), to the selected treatment area. The unit has two modes, continuous and pulsed to produce heat in the deep tissue. The heat increases the flow of blood in the
tissues through dilation of the blood vessels. This in turn increases capillary pressure, cellular membrane permeability, and metabolic rate, causing a more rapid transfer of nutrients from the blood across cell membranes. These actions help reduce pain and promote quicker healing.

DESCRIPTION

This new elegant High power Shortwave Therapy SSD-500 unit is mounted on wheels for easy mobility with Pad Electrodes is easy to handle and is very sturdy equipment. SSD-500 is a shortwave unit that enables HF energy to be applied selectively deep in the tissues and joints without unnecessarily affecting the surrounding area.

SSD-500 unique induction field circuitry provides a short-wave frequency of 27.12 MHz that penetrates deep into muscle tissues with negligible heating in the fatty layer or bone. This is affected through capacitive or inductive electrodes. The capacitive electrodes have a larger surface effect, the induction electrodes provides a larger effect in the deeper tissues. The equipment is only meant to be used by professionals or trained personnel in physiotherapy, rehabilitation or any type of Hospital setup. unique induction field circuitry provides a short-wave frequency of 27.12 MHz that penetrates deep into muscle tissues with negligible heating in the fatty layer or bone.
