1SAFETY
1.1Purpose
The Pulson 200 is intended solely for medical applications. You can use the Pulson 200 for ultrasoundtherapy. The device is suited for continuous use.
1.2Safety instructions
1.2.1General
•Only qualified people who are trained in the application
of the therapies may use the appliance.
•Only a technician authorised by GymnaUniphy N.V. may open the equipment or the accessories.
•Follow the instructions and directions in these user instructions.
•Place the equipment on a horizontal and stable base.
•Keep the ventilation openings at the bottom and rear of the equipment free.
•Do not place any objects on the equipment.
•Do not place the equipment in the sun or above a heat source.
•Do not use the equipment in a damp area.
•Do not let any liquid flow into the equipment.
•Do not disinfect or sterilise the equipment. Clean the equipment with a dry or moistened cloth. See §5.
•Only treat patients with electrical implants (pacemaker) after obtaining medical advice.
•The 'Medical Devices Directive' from the European Commission (93/42/EEG) requires that safe devices are used. It is recommended to perform a yearly technical safety inspection. See §5.1.2.
•For optimum treatment, a patient investigation must first be performed. On the basis of the findings of the investigation, a treatment plan with objectives will be formulated. Follow the treatment plan during the therapy. This will limit possible risks, related to the treatment, to a minimum.
•Always keep these user instructions with the equipment.

1.2.2Electrical safety
•Only use the equipment in an area with facilities that
meet the applicable legal regulations.
•Connect the equipment to an outlet with a protective earth terminal. The outlet must meet the locally applicable requirements for medical areas.
1.2.3Prevention of explosion
•Do not use the equipment in an area where combustible
gases or vapours are present.
•Switch off the equipment when it is not used.
1.2.4Electro Magnetic Compatibility
•Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions
for Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC). Follow the instructions for the installation of the equipment. See §2.
•Do not use mobile telephones or other radio, shortwave, or microwave equipment in the vicinity of the equipment. This kind of equipment can cause disturbances.
•Only use the accompanying accessories that are supplied by GymnaUniphy. See §7.6.
Other accessories can lead to an increased emission or a reduced immunity.
1.2.5Ultrasound therapy
•Move the US head evenly over the skin during the
treatment. This prevents internal burns.
•The US treatment heads are exchangeable. The device detects the characteristics and supplies the right power at the right frequency.
•Handle the US heads carefully. With rough handling, the characteristics can change. Test the US head if it falls on the ground or knocks against something. See §5.1.1.
•Check the US head at least once a month. During the check, look for dents, cracks and other damage that could allow liquids to ingress. Check whether the insulation of the cable is still intact. Check whether all pins are present and straight in the connectors. Replace the US head if the head, the cable or the connector is damaged. See §5.1.
