zUser Operation Manual (20150117-revised)
.
Restrictions on using ultrasound massager
• Over organs (stomach, liver, lungs, spleen, bowels, heart, kidneys, thyroid)
• Over the pelvis, abdomen and lumbar (lower back) region in pregnant or potentially
pregnant females.
• On patients with pace-makers on patients with phlebitis, deep venous thromboses or
patients with hemophilia.
• Over mucous membranes (mouth, nose, rectum/anus, vagina)
• Over highly ultrasound-sensitive organs (eyes, ears, ovaries, testicles, brain, spinal cord)
• On patients with spinal bifida / bone with active infection / a bone fracture
• Over areas suspected to be cancerous / pre-cancerous
• Over de-sensitized (numb, hypoesthesia) areas of the skin (eg. diabetic neuropathy)
• Do not apply ultrasound gel on lesion with open wound
• Never use Ultrasound unit on children or under the age of 16 without the
recommendation / supervision of a physician or therapist
Mode of Function
Mode 1 (LIPUS-I)
*Protein Synthesis, **Bone fracture healing, ***Nerve tissue repair
*(Increased the aggrecan and type II collagen synthesis on the human chondrocytes
cultured in 3D agarose gel)
**(Transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) synthesis and adenylyl cyclase activation in
osteoblasts)
***(Improving peripheral nerve tissue regeneration glial cells)
Mode 2 (LIPUS-II)
Protein Synthesis,
(Increasing the chondrocytes viability
isolated from OA patients, PG synthesis and type II collagen synthesis)
Mode 3
(0.5W/cm2)
*Acute phase of Tendon or Muscle healing
-Stimulates growth factors
-Angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels)
-Reduce inflammation by drug transfer
-Phonophoresis (lead in medication by ultrasound)
Mode 3~6
(0.8~1.2W/cm2)
**Sub-acute phase of Tendon or Muscle healing
--Angiogenesis
--Fibroplasia (formation of fibro tissue)
Mode 6~9
(1.2~2W/cm2)
***Chronic phase of Tendon or Muscle healing
---Remodeling
---Elevate tissue temperature
---Effects on scar tissue
