Introduction
1 Introduction
With your PHYSIOSON-Basic, you have acquired an extremely versatile high-tech
ultrasound therapy unit.
The instrument will only show its true potential, however, if you are well informed
about its functions. For this reason, carefully read the Operating Instructions and
familiarise yourself with the use of the instrument.
1.2 Application
PHYSIOSON-Basic 1
Introduction
Simultaneous Therapy
• Simultaneous application of stimulation current and ultrasound (together with
an external stimulation current therapy instrument)
Caution The instrument may only be operated by qualified personnel who have
undergone special training!
1.3 Contraindications

Controls and Indicators
PHYSIOSON-Basic 3
Controls and Indicators
Note For safety reasons, the following optional (setup menu) setting can be
selected: Increasing the ultrasound dose after coupling (marker is
displayed) is only possible after the dose has been turned down with
the data selector <2>.
4 PHYSIOSON-Basic
Controls and Indicators
The modified values are displayed in the upper status bar or at the respective
position of the display <1>.
With the dose turned high, safety-related parameters cannot be varied. At the
attempt to alter a parameter, the turn-down signal ( ) appears in the
lower status bar and an acoustic signal is issued.
As safety-related components are considered:
PHYSIOSON-Basic 5
Controls and Indicators
The mains module <5> with the mains switch is located on the
rear side of the unit. Use this switch to connect PHYSIOSON-Basic
to the mains or disconnect it.
For mains supply do only use the mains cable provided by the
manufacturer.
The power switch <6> seen from the front is located on the left
side of the unit. Use this switch to turn the unit on and off.
The device will conduct a short calibration of the transducer as well
as an automatic self test after being switched on (cf. Notes on
Operation on page 8).
Note To work with the unit and to charge the battery the mains switch
<5> as well as the power switch <6> have to be switched on.

Controls and Indicators
Indications menu
In the upper status bar, messages and prompts are issued, e.g.: Plug in head. When
selecting an indication (cf. page 16 ), the name of the indication is issued. When
selecting an individual program (cf. page 17), the currently selected parameters are
displayed.

Battery operation
Battery charged
Note In order to ensure a long battery life, the batteries must be charged
completely when first charged.
The first charging procedure should not be interrupted!
PHYSIOSON-Basic 9
Notes on Operation
If the battery capacity is very low when the device is switched on, a message will be
shown in the display. In this case, charge the battery as described on page 9. You
can continue using the unit in mains operation while the battery is charged.
Note If the unit is not used for a longer period of time, please charge the
battery once a month. This will help to avoid exhaustive discharge.

No connection to the mains
Turning the data selector <2> will immediately take you back to the main menu.

Notes on Operation
3.2 Start-up
Note Prior to switching on the device, please make sure that the activated
ultrasonic transducer is outside the water in a clean condition.
(1) Switch off the unit using the power switch <6>, wait until the light at the
transducer is off and then switch the unit on again.
The instrument will carry out an automatic function check during which all
functions and output values are checked and the transducer is calibrated.
An audible signal is issued.
The instrument is ready now. The parameters of the last treatment are preset.

Ultrasound Therapy
4 Ultrasound Therapy
4.2 Therapy
Treatment Procedure
Make sure that the instrument is ready for operation.
(1) Choose the appropriate transducer and plug it into the transducer
connector <3>.
(2) Apply ultrasound gel to the area of treatment.
(3) Set the therapy time.
(4) Select the therapy mode using the function MODE.
(5) Activate the acoustic coupling confirmation via SET, if required..
(6) Slowly turn up the intensity with the data selector <2>.
Note For safety reasons, the following optional (setup menu) setting can be
selected: Increasing the ultrasound dose after coupling (marker is
displayed) is only possible after the dose has been turned down with
the data selector <2>.
When the transducer is coupled, the green LED at the transducer goes off and the
timer starts to run. The therapy timer switches off as soon as the treatment is
finished.
12 PHYSIOSON-Basic
Ultrasound Therapy
You may choose to count only the efficient therapy time or to run the therapy timer
independent of proper coupling in the setup menu.
We recommend checking the function of the coupling confirmation by shortly
removing the transducer from the tissue prior to treatment.
Caution Make sure you constantly keep moving the transducer on the area of
treatment (dynamic treatment)!
Avoid using the transducer at one spot for a longer time (static
treatment); this form of treatment might lead to damage to the tissue!
Regularly check transducers and resonators for overheating!
PHYSIOSON-Basic 13
Simultaneous Therapy
5 Simultaneous Therapy
Simultaneous therapy means the simultaneous treatment with ultrasound and
stimulation current. That means that the effects of both forms of therapy can be
utilized. The ultrasonic transducer of the ultrasound unit is one pole of the
stimulation current circuit, a plate electrode of the stimulation current unit the other
one.
The PHYSIOSON-Basic can be combined with a stimulation current therapy device
for simultaneous therapy. The PHYSIOSON-Basic and the stimulation current device
may only be connected with a specially coded connector.
Caution The safety precautions for the individual therapies also apply for the
simultaneous therapy!
To ensure a stable contact for both stimulation and ultrasound therapy you must
use an electrically conductive ultrasound gel. The standard polarity of the ultrasonic
transducer is negative (cathode). The positive pole (standard polarity positive: anode)
is formed by the so-called neutral electrode. Plate or vacuum electrodes are used as
neutral electrodes. Minimum size for the plate electrode is EF50, for vacuum
electrodes size 2. Additional peculiarities are described in the list of accessories of
your stimulation current device.
Caution Make sure you constantly keep moving the transducer on the area of
treatment (dynamic treatment)! Avoid using the transducer at one
spot for a longer time (static treatment); this form of treatment might
lead to damage to the tissue!
Regularly check transducers and resonators for overheating!
Note If the transducer is lifted during treatment, the stimulation current will
automatically be reduced to 0; it ensures that both therapy modes -
ultrasound and stimulation current - are always applied
simultaneously. As soon as the transducer is put on again the
stimulation current will also rise again automatically.

Indications Menu
6 Indications Menu
Apart from direct access to the individual ultrasound parameters, the indications
menu offers you another possibility to start treatment. With the indications menu,
you may utilise proven methods of treatment within ultrasound therapy.
Proceed as follows to start a treatment via the indications menu:
Choose the appropriate transducer and plug it into the transducer connector <3>.
Select the function IND. from the display <1>.
(1) Select the desired indication from the indications menu, e.g. Abscess.

Individual Programs
7 Individual Programs
You do not have to set frequently applied forms of therapy every time you want to
use them – you can simply save them as individual programs. Such a program is e.g.
a certain therapy mode with all parameters including treatment time. You may save
individual programs and restart them as well as delete and overwrite them. You may
set 20 individual programs altogether.
