Product Liability; Remarks Concerning Treatment - Enraf Nonius Curapuls 970 Mode D'emploi

Installation
Good air circulation is essential to prevent internal
heat build-up.
Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject
to direct sunlight, dust, excessive mechanical vibra-
tion or shock. It is not recommended to use the
Curapuls 970 immediately after extreme temperature
fluctuations.
The Curapuls 970 is not intended for use in so-called
"wet rooms" (hydrotherapy rooms).
When moving or transporting the unit, never pull at
the electrodes or the electrode arm, to avoid the risk
of tilting the Curapuls 970.
For safety reasons, the brakes on the wheels of the
unit should be locked before the beginning of a treat-
ment.
Should any liquid or foreign objects fall into the cabi-
net, turn off the power, unplug the unit and have it
checked by your nearest authorized service dealer
before any further operation.
Connection
The Curapuls 970 is a class I, type BF apparatus
according to IEC 60601-1. This means that the
Curapuls 970 must be connected to a grounded power
supply.
Prior to connection to the mains, check that the volt-
age and frequency stated on the Curapuls 970 corre-
spond with the available power supply rating. Check
that the available power supply complies with local
requirements regarding medical rooms (electrical
codes).

REMARKS CONCERNING TREATMENT

General
We strongly advise that you regularly consult the
therapy manual (optionally available) with the
Curapuls 970. The chapters regarding indications and
contraindications are especially important with re-
spect to safe and effective treatment.
Also pay attention to the following:
• From considerations of safety, only original
electrode cables and electrodes from Enraf-Nonius
should be used.
• Electronic hearing-aids must be taken off unless
damage or malfunctions are not to be expected.
• Patients under treatment must not be able to touch
surrounding metal objects such as metal furniture,
radiators or window-frames.
• The electrode cables must run free from
surrounding objects and must maintain sufficient
distance with respect to each other as well as
with respect to the treated patient.
• Use cable-clamps to lead the cable along the
electrode arm.
• The patient must be in sight of the therapist at all
times.
Furniture and clothing
Metal parts in furniture might cause intensity-con-
centrations in the electromagnetic field, therefore only
use metal-free wooden furniture.
For all treatments with shortwave it is advisable to
undress the patient, and to apply a towel between
the skin and the electrode (against perspiration). There
are several advantages in treating naked patients: in
the first place, it is the easiest way to ensure that
there are no metals in the electro-magnetic field
(metals in the clothing or in ornaments under the
clothing), and secondly it prevents undesired
concentrations of energy due to perspi-ration or the
wearing of for example nylon or leather clothing.
