How to Use
Setup
- Place the unit on a stable, flat surface. Ensure the slotted ventilation areas are unobstructed.
- Connect the appropriate probe to the correct OUTPUT port: connect the 1 MHz probe to the left port and the 3 MHz probe to the right port.
- Plug the AC power cable into a properly earthed mains socket.
- Power on the unit. The LCD will illuminate and run a self-check.
Patient Preparation
- Confirm the clinical indication and screen for all contraindications.
- Position the patient comfortably with the treatment area exposed, clean, and accessible.
- Inspect skin integrity. Do not treat over broken or compromised skin.
- Apply a generous amount of therapeutic ultrasound coupling gel to the treatment area or directly to the transducer face.
Select Frequency
- Press the FREQ button to select the desired frequency: 1 MHz or 3 MHz.
- The LCD will confirm the active frequency. The corresponding OUTPUT port becomes active.
- Use 1 MHz for deep structures (>2 cm depth). Use 3 MHz for superficial structures (<2–3 cm depth).
Select Output Mode
- Press the MODE button to cycle between Continuous and available Pulse modes.
- The LCD will display the active mode. Continuous = maximum thermal effect; Pulsed = reduced thermal and mechanical effects.
- Select the appropriate pulse duty cycle for the clinical condition using repeated MODE presses.
Set Timer
- Press the TIMER button to set treatment duration. Typical session: 5–10 minutes per area.
- The timer value is shown on the LCD. Do not exceed 10 minutes on a single treatment site.
Set Intensity
- Press the INTENSITY button to step up the output power. The LCD shows the live W/cm² value.
- Start at 0.5 W/cm² and increase gradually based on patient feedback and clinical indication.
- Continuous mode: 1.0–2.5 W/cm² for chronic conditions. Pulsed mode: 0.1–1.0 W/cm² for acute conditions.
- Never exceed 3.0 W/cm².
Start Treatment
- Press S/S (Start/Stop) to begin the session. The LCD timer will count down.
- Apply the probe firmly and flatly against the gel-covered skin.
- Move the probe continuously in slow, overlapping circular or stroking motions. NEVER hold it stationary during active output.
- Monitor the patient continuously. Reduce intensity or stop if the patient reports pain, burning, or unusual heat.
End of Treatment
- The unit will alert and stop when the timer reaches zero, or press S/S to stop early.
- Reduce intensity to zero via the INTENSITY button before removing the probe.
- Power off the unit.
- Remove gel from the patient's skin. Clean the transducer face with a soft, damp cloth or approved disinfectant wipe.
- Record all parameters (frequency, mode, intensity, time) in the patient's clinical record.

Handling Tips
To safely and effectively use this ultrasound muscle therapy machine for pain relief, adhere to the following consolidated guidelines:
- Professional Operation & Monitoring: This device must only be operated by a trained healthcare professional or physiotherapist. Never leave a patient unattended during a session, and halt treatment immediately if they report unusual pain, burning, or discomfort.
- Application Technique & Gel Usage: Always apply an approved medical ultrasound coupling gel (do not use substitute lotions) before activation. To prevent crystal damage and severe periosteal burns, never operate the probe in the air and ensure the probe is kept in continuous motion while in contact with the patient.
- Patient Assessment & Parameter Adjustments: Always perform a skin sensation check before starting. Use the pulsed mode for acute-phase injuries to limit heat buildup. Additionally, reduce intensity levels for older patients, individuals with poor circulation, and when treating areas near bony prominences or with minimal soft tissue.
- Device Maintenance & Environment: Thoroughly inspect the device, LCD screen, cables, and probes before every use. Disinfect the probe faces between patients using non-alcohol medical wipes. Keep the unit away from liquids, heat, and flammables, and never attempt to open, modify, or self-repair the system.

FAQ
1. What is the primary purpose of this device?
This ultrasound therapy machine for pain is designed to provide targeted relief and accelerate tissue healing for musculoskeletal conditions, such as arthritis, sports injuries, and ligament sprains.
2. What is the difference between the 1 MHz and 3 MHz frequencies?
The 1 MHz frequency targets deep tissues (up to 4–5 cm) like large muscles and deep joints. The 3 MHz frequency is used for superficial tissues (2–3 cm) like tendons, ligaments, and small joints.
3. Is this suitable for clinical or professional use?
Yes, it functions as a highly effective ultrasound machine for physical therapy, which makes it an excellent choice for clinics, rehabilitation centers, and guided home wellness routines.
4. Do I have to use ultrasound gel with the machine?
Yes. You must always use an approved therapeutic ultrasound coupling gel to ensure proper conductivity and prevent damage to the crystal or potential skin burns.
5. Can I hold the probe stationary over my pain point?
No. You must continuously move the probe in slow, overlapping circular or stroking motions to prevent tissue overheating and periosteal burns.
6. How long should a single treatment session last?
A typical session lasts between 5 to 10 minutes per treatment area. You should never exceed 10 minutes on a single site.
7. Is it safe for people with pacemakers or pregnant women?
No. This device is strictly contraindicated for individuals who are pregnant, nursing, or have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic medical devices.
8. When should I use Continuous vs. Pulsed mode?
Continuous mode provides maximum thermal heating, which is best for chronic conditions. Pulsed mode minimizes heat accumulation, making it ideal for acute-phase injuries.
9. Is the device portable?
Yes, the machine features a compact and lightweight (1.5 kg) ABS desktop enclosure, making it easily portable between rooms or clinics.
10. How should I clean the transducer probes?
After each session, wipe off the gel with a soft, damp cloth and disinfect the probe face using a non-alcohol medical disinfectant wipe. Never submerge the probes in water.
