Treatment Principles
•
Do not connect any other handpiece to the system when
using the ST handpiece. A handpiece from another
application will not be recognized by the system and a
second ST handpiece will reduce the energy level by 50%,
making the treatment ineffective.
•
When applying the pulse, simultaneously press the foot
switch and the pulse switch for the total duration of the pulse
(20-45 seconds).
•
You do not need to keep pressing the pulse switch on the
handpiece for the entire length of the pulse. However, you do
need to keep the foot switch depressed until the end of the
pulse.
•
A flashing LED will appear during the application of the pulse.
When the pulse is finished, an audible signal will sound to
indicate the end of the pulse. Since the pulse is in the infra-
red spectrum, you will not be able to see it during emission.
You may rely on the flashing LED and audio signals to mark
when the pulse begins and ends.
•
Keep the handpiece in place for the entire duration of the
pulse, unless the aptient experiences extreme discomfort.
•
A full treatment course generally consists of 6-10 bi-weekly
sessions carried out over 3-5 weeks.
•
Before administering treatment, refer to section
4.1. Carefully
follow the guidelines presented there.
•
Set the energy level according to test results.
•
You may apply non-humid ice , such as an ice pack , to the
site of the next pulse to enhance patient comfort.
