Rev 0_ 07 02 12 4 Operating Instructions 4 1 Shortwave diathermy applications The Auto Thorm 390 is a shortwave diathermy device that operates at 27 12 MHz It provides traditional shortwave diathermy therapy using condenser and electromagnetic inductive coil fields in both continuous and pulsed modes of operation Therefore itis suited for al diathermy treatments in both the clinic and the medical practice The use of shortwave diathermy for heat therapy has the advantage of penetrating deeper than other conventional methods such as hot packs infrared lights and heating pads and even microwave diathermy The heat generated by shortwave diathermy induces a whole range of physiological effects It relaxes muscles tendons and other connective tissues and increases blood circulation in the treatment area When shortwave diathermy is applied in short high energy pulses the depth of penetration is increased having a particularly positive effect on the blood circulation while the temperature sensitive skin hardly feels the heat Shortwave diathermy can be applied over a large area of the skin s surface Avoid allowing the flexible cables or soft rubber applicators to touch each other during treatment 42 Preparing the patient For optimum therapy ensure that the patient is in a comfortable and relaxed position To accomplish this either have the patient in a seated or supine position Patients shall never be treated on
