1.2 GENERAL

The Sonopuls 490/491 are microprocessor controlled units for ultrasound (US.) therapy.
The Sonopuls 491 offers besides ultrasound therapy also electrotherapy (E.T.) which can
be combined (E.T. and US).
Both units are equipped with large LCD displays with around the operating keys for a
clear display for the parameter settings. The units are battery powered and thus operate
independently of the mains supply. The light weight and compact design makes the unit
also suitable for treating patients at home.

Therapeutic possibilities

Sonopuls 490:

- Continuous and pulsed ultrasound therapy at frequencies of 1 MHz or 3 MHz

Sonopuls 491:

- Continuous and pulsed ultrasound therapy at frequencies of 1 MHz or 3 MHz

- Two-pole interferential therapy (amplitude-modulated medium-frequency alternating
current)
- Asymmetrical biphasic pulse sequences (TENS)
- Medium-frequency direct current (duty cycle 95%, strongly galvanic character).

The complete set consists of a drive unit (the Sonopuls 490/491) and two multi-frequency
(1 and 3 MHz) ultrasound treatment heads (UTH's). The drive unit supplies the drive
current for the treatment head(s). The UTH consists of a crystal which is cemented to
the treatment surface and which converts the electrical signal from the drive unit into a
mechanical vibration (i.e. the ultrasound signal). There are two types of treatment heads
available, one type of 1 and 3 MHz with a large treatment surface and one type of 1 and
3 MHz with a small treatment surface and are suitable for subaqual treatments.

An important feature of the Sonopuls 490/491 is the interchangeability of the treatment

heads. The treatment heads can be connected to any other Sonopuls 490 or
Sonopuls 491 unit without recalibration.

Depending on the selected current type, Sonopuls 491only, electrotherapy can be

applied for muscle stimulation, pain control by stimulation of nerve tissue, and
iontophoresis. As the output characteristic of the electrotherapy channel can be
switched, at choice, between Constant Current (CC) or Constant Voltage (CV), the
Sonopuls 491 is also suitable for dynamic electrode applications. The use of the
combination selector allows any desired combination of ultrasound and electrotherapy
current type to be selected.

The Sonopuls 490/491 offers the possibility of storing frequently used settings (maximum
10) in the computer memory. This allows the user to create a file of preferred therapy
modes and parameter selections. The most frequently used settings can be stored as
program number 0 (zero). This program is automatically selected after switching on.

All treatment heads are provided with contact control indicators. This feature, in
combination with the excellent beam characteristics, maintains the quality of the
treatment. Maximum safety is inherent in the design of the unit.
