WARNING
Operating close to short-wave units can lead to outputs instability. The working of high-
frequency units can interfere with the functioning of electrical units. Therefore, when used
simultaneously in the same room, a minimum safety-distance should be observed. In most cases
1,5 meter distances is enough.
Before treating patients with implanted heart pacemakers or with cochlea transplant,
consult a specialist. The energy delivered by these devices could cause troubles to this kind of
prosthesis.
Particular attention should be paid to all the other types of endoprothesis, which shouldn't be
thus treated.
Before treating patients with lower limb ischemia, cardiovascular disease, epilepsy or pregnant
women, consult a physician.
Before carrying out each treatment, disinfect the applied parts that have to be put in
contact with the patient.
Do not put any applied part onto skin lesions or inflamed/infected parts of the body.
WARNING
Any physical therapy treatment must be carried out on conscious patients. Furthermore pay always
attention to the patients sensation while the output energy (electrical, mechanical, high frequency,,
energy) is increasing.
If you have any question or problem, not sufficiently dealt in this handbook, please consult your authorised dealer.
WARNING
The output power must not be enable during the positioning of the applicator before
carrying out the treatment.
Do not point the applicator directly at eyes and testicles.
Microwaves energy doesnt be delivered to patients with metallic objects, such as jewels,
buttons, threads etc.
Parts of the body with metallic equipment (for instance intramedullary) must not be
treated without any specialist authorisation.
When small parts of the body has to be treated (for instance the wrist), the applicator
must be placed so that sensory area (for instance eyes and testicles) are not on the radiation
beam not intercepted by the part under treatment (wrist).
Operators and people not under treatment must stay at 1.5m from the applicator at least.
Handle the applicators with care; directional features could change after shock.
Patients with low thermal sensitivity in the treatment area must not be treated with
microwaves.
Do not carry out short weave therapy on ischemic areas, malignant tumour, tubercular
infection, areas recently treated with X-rays therapy.
Do not place the unit closed to inflammables, but keep 1m as minimum-security
distance at least.

12. DESTINATION
Microwave units are used in physical therapy and rehabilitation Centre. Traditionally the microwave therapy consists in
the heat-based irradiation of the body with electromagnetic waves, in the microwave frequency band. The microwaves,
owing to their peculiar wave-length, differ in the range of high-frequency electromagnetic waves of the classic
diathermy, since: they penetrate deeper than IR radiation emitted by incandescent heat sources and they are selectively
absorbed by soft tissues (with a rich blood flow). The main biological action of the heat-based treatment with
microwaves consists in the activation of the cell metabolism owing to the increased temperature of the tissues and the
phenomenon of induced vasodilatation of capillaries and arteries. In general all the traumatic and inflammatory
affections that take advantage from the anti-inflammatory, antalgic and myorelaxing action associated with the
absorption of microwaves find a sound indications to the treatment. The mainly indicated fields are the disorders of the
locomotion system with a special attention to the treatment of traumatic and rheumatic conditions affecting the soft
tissues and the more superficial joints.
The Microwave units have a microprocessor control that allows them to have important peculiarities, such as flexibility
and performance, not shared by the common electrotherapy appliances available on the market. The unit can work both
in continuous and pulsed mode. The top output power of the 2450P is maximum 250W.
The 2450P is equipped with function keys F#, the function of which is always shown on the LCD.
This large LCD visualises all the parameters and the help function making the operation of the unit very easy.
The operator can store up to 80 different personalised treatments, which can be memorised as alphanumeric codes, the
name of patient or disease. Each programming operation is made up of five different types of currents that will be
delivered in sequence. Moreover, the operator can also use a large number of pre-set treatments, already largely used in
many physical therapy centres.

17. HOW TO SET UP A WORKING SESSION
Connect the unit to the nearest power supply socket (220V - 50Hz) by using the power cable.
Check the microwave radiator, suitable for the therapy, is well connected to the unit by the proper HF cable.
Start the unit by switching on the key at the back of the unit itself, just near the supply socket. The unit makes a
rapid inner control and is immediately ready for use.
Patient preparation: Prepare the patient to the treatment and make him stay in a comfortable position, and take off
any clothes from the treatment area. We suggest to test the thermal sensitivity of the patient before starting the
therapy and to inform the patient about the microwave treatment: in order to avoid any burn in the treatment area, he
has to inform the operator if he feels too much heat.
Radiator application: place the microwaves radiator 1-2 cm far from the skin of the patient so that the middle part
of it is parallel to the skin; pay attention not to treat sensitive regions such as eyes and testicles. Treatment of
metallic prostheses must be always avoided, because it could cause overheating of the surrounding regions with
possible burns.
Microwaves irradiation: after pressing the START key, increase very slowly the power using the knob, up to the
patient feels a pleasant sensation of warmth. The therapy stops at the end of the treatment time set before. We
suggest checking quite often the area under treatment, in order to avoid any problem for the patient.
All the following operations will be done by using the keys on the panel of the unit. The keys will react immediately to
a light pressure of your fingers, also delivering a short sound.

Duty Cycle: is the ratio between the length of the impulse and the period. To adjust it, press the F3 key and rotate
the knob. It can be adjusted from 20% to 80%.
Peak Rate: is the number of impulses per second. In order to adjust it, press the F4 key and rotate the knob. It is
possible to have from 1 to 4 impulses per second.
After setting all the parameters, press the START key; the LED placed near the START key itself will light up.
At this point, the operator has to adjust the output power, rotating the knob clockwise; the top value available is
250W.
In any case, pay attention to the patient reaction when the power is increasing. The only general rule is that the
power should be higher in chronic than in acute disease. On the LCD all the parameters set are shown. When the
unit is working in pulsed mode, the average power is shown (top power duty cycle).
One can set the continuous mode simply pressing the F5 key (CONT on the LCD). The following form will be
shown. The power in continuous mode is equal to the average power of the previous working pulsed emission
mode. In this way, any burn to the patient is avoided. However, if you wish to change the power, it is enough to
rotate the knob. From the continuous mode, it is possible to come back to the pulsed mode, by pushing the F3 key
(PULSE on the LCD).
At the end of the set time, the unit stops the emission an intermittent sound is delivered. In order to stop the therapy
before the end of the time or to stop the end sound, one can press the STOP key.
At the left of each pathology is indicated the relevant function key. When the desired pathology is pointed out, press the
relevant function key. The LCD shows immediately the first current with its parameters. If you want you can change the
value of some parameter, before carrying out the treatment. Press START key in order to start the therapy.
