 ABOUT ULTRASOUND THERAPY Intelect® Mobile Ultrasound

OVERVIEW OF ULTRASOUND THERAPY

Utilizing ultrasound waves through muscle, nerve, and connective tissue has been well documented as effective in reducing pain,
muscle spasms, and joint contractures.
There are several items that affect the penetration of ultrasound on the target tissues. Please refer to the documentation as a
reference on the appropriate frequency for your clinical needs.
There are four sound heads available with the Intelect Mobile Ultrasound System: 1 cm2, 2 cm2, 5 cm2, and 10 cm2.
Select either 1 or 3 MHz frequencies for each applicator (only 3.3 MHz is available with the 1 cm2 sound head). Frequency may be
selected either before or during therapy.

Common Terms
Applicator - The hand held assembly used to deliver ultrasonic energy. The applicator includes the sound head, transducer, and
related electronics.
Beam Non-Uniformity Ratio (BNR) – By nature, an ultrasound beam is not homogeneous. The BNR is a ratio of the highest intensity
found in the beam field to the average intensity as indicated on the output display of the unit. This measure may not exceed 5.0:1.
Because of the areas of increased intensity, the sound head is moved continuously during the treatment.
Collimating (Coll)- The shape of the ultrasound beam. While neither focused nor dispersed, this ultrasound beam resembles a
column when applied from the unit through the sound head.
Continuous Mode – The output of the ultrasound is not interrupted during the treatment time. This mode imparts the most energy
to the tissues and is used when a maximal effect is desired. (See Duty Cycle).
Coupling Media – An agent used to insure that the ultrasound is transmitted from the sound head to the tissue to be treated. Gels
or lotions labeled for therapeutic ultrasound use are recommended.

 ABOUT ULTRASOUND THERAPY Intelect® Mobile Ultrasound

Overview of Ultrasound therapy - COMMON TERMS (CONTINUED)

Duty Cycle – This is the ratio of the “On” time to “Total” time of the cycle, expressed as a percentage. The duty cycle describes the
pulsed modes of ultrasound. The lower the percentage, the lower temporal average intensity. 100% is continuous ultrasound.
Effective Radiating Area (ERA) – A measure of the ultrasound beam made underwater, 5 mm from the radiating surface of the
sound head. The ERA is always smaller than the geometric area of the sound head, but should be as close as possible. This
measurement is used to calculate the ultrasound intensity in W/cm2.
Frequency (Freq) – Selectable to 1 or 3 MHz with the 1 cm2, 2 cm2, 5 cm2, or 10 cm2 sound head (only 3.3 MHz is available with the
1 cm2 sound head). The lower the frequency, the longer the wavelength, the deeper the penetration of ultrasound.
Lead Zirconate Titanate – A synthetic crystal used to create the ultrasound beam by vibrating 1,000,000 (1 MHz) or 3,000,000
(3 MHz) times per second. This type of crystal is both durable and efficient in its functions.
Power – A measure of the intensity of the ultrasound delivered to the patient. Unit of measure is watts (W).
Pulse Duration – Refers to the amount of time the ultrasound is being delivered in the pulsed mode. For example, in the 20% duty
cycle mode, the ultrasound is delivered for 2 msec and off for 8 msec (at 100 Hz) throughout the treatment period.
Pulse Frequency – The pulse frequency is the number of pulses per second and is expressed in hertz. The available pulse
frequencies on the Intelect Mobile Ultrasound are 16, 48, and 100 Hz.
Pulsed Mode – The output of the ultrasound is automatically interrupted during the treatment time. This limits the amount of
energy delivered to the tissues.
Sound Head – The aluminum face of the applicator that contacts the patient’s skin. It covers a transducer mechanism that converts
electrical energy to mechanical energy in the form of a vibrating crystal.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 ABOUT ULTRASOUND THERAPY Intelect® Mobile Ultrasound

Overview of Ultrasound therapy - COMMON TERMS (CONTINUED)

Ultrasound Intensity – Ultrasound power delivered to the patient expressed in total power as watts (W) or in terms of the sound
head’s effective radiating area, watts per centimeter squared (W/cm2).

Description of Ultrasonic Field

The spatial distribution of the radiated field is essentially a collimated beam of the ultrasonic energy having a cross-sectional area of
8.5 cm2 for the 10 cm2 sound head when measured at a point 5 mm from the transducer face.

The energy distribution within the radiated field is 3.0 W/cm2 maximum and it takes a generally conic shape, having decreasing
intensity at progressively increasing distance from the face of the transducer. This field distribution applies for the radiation emitted
into the equivalent of an infinite medium of distilled, degassed water at 30 °C and with the line voltage variations in the range of 10%
of the rated line voltage.

Select this button to warm the sound head prior to treatment. The sound head is warmed to slightly above body temperature to
increase patient comfort. A small icon of a thermometer will appear, and a fan will turn on indicating that head warming is on.
NOTE:
The Head Warming function is only possible prior to touching the Start button initiating a treatment, and while the
intensity is at 0. When the Start button is pressed, Head Warming is turned off. Also note that when the Head Warming
feature is used, a small amount of ultrasound energy is being emitted.
Frequency
Select this button to change to a frequency of 1 MHz or 3 MHz. The Frequency of ultrasound determines the depth of
penetration. One megahertz penetrates approximately 3 to 5 centimeters, and 3 megahertz penetrates less than, or equal to
2 centimeters. Both 1 and 3 MHz frequencies are available and can be changed throughout the course of treatment by pressing
the Frequency button.
Start
Select Start to begin a treatment session or to accept a protocol.

preparing the PAtient’s skin for therapY

Before applying the sound head to the patient, you must first prepare the patient’s skin for ultrasound therapy. By properly preparing
the patient’s skin for ultrasound therapy, you will allow more ultrasound energy to reach the targeted areas and reduce the risk of skin
irritation.
To prepare the patient’s skin for ultrasound therapy, do the following:
1. Thoroughly wash the skin on which you intend to place the sound head with mild
soap and water or alcohol wipe.
2. Dry the skin thoroughly.

3. Apply the ultrasound gel generously to the target area on the patient.

treatments concerning power and elapsed time. Parameters are adjusted using control panel buttons on the front of the unit. The
ultrasound output can be stopped by pressing the “PAUSE” or “STOP” buttons located on the control panel.
To apply ultrasound therapy, do the following:
1. Turn system power “ON" by pressing the Power On/Off Button.
The unit will go through self diagnostics, and the home screen displays on the LCD.

2. Press the Frequency button to select 1 or 3 MHz. When the button is pressed, the

The coupling feature of the Intelect Mobile Ultrasound is designed to indicate when the sound head is not making adequate contact
with the patient’s skin. “Good coupling” is achieved when the appropriate amount of gel is used, and the sound head is making
satisfactory contact to the patient’s skin. Good coupling results in the most efficient use of ultrasound therapy.
NOTE: The green light located on the back of the applicator flashes intermittently when the sound head breaks contact with the
patient.
Also, while the sound head is in good contact with the patient, the icon displays. However, when the sound head breaks
