CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device for sale or use by, or on the order of, a Practitioner licensed by the laws of the state in which he/she practices to use or order the use of the device.
Please note that Accelerated Care Plus cannot provide medical advice. If you have specific medical questions, please contact your healthcare professional.
• The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown;
• Do not apply stimulation over the patient’s neck because this could cause severe muscle spasms resulting in closure of the airway, difficulty in breathing, or adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure
• Do not apply stimulation across the patient’s chest because the introduction of electrical current into the chest may cause rhythm disturbances to the patient’s heart, which could be lethal. Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in the vicinity of the heart, as introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause or increase risk of cardiac arrhythmias (e.g. fibrillation)
• Do not apply stimulation when the patient is in the bath or shower
• Do not apply stimulation while the patient is sleeping; andDo not apply stimulation while the patient is driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in which electrical stimulation can put the patient at risk of injury.
• Consult with the patient’s physician before using this device because the device may cause lethal rhythm disturbances to the heart in susceptible individuals
• Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, clean, healthy skin.
Make sure electrodes are not covering the mouth.
• Do not operate this device until the User Manual, including all Indications for Use, Contraindications, Warnings and Precautions, have been carefully read and understood.
• Operation of this device or placement of lead wires, probes, pads and electrodes in close proximity (less than 5 feet) to an operating shortwave or microwave diathermy unit may produce instability in the device output or burns at the treatment site. Lead wires and device can pick up the magnetic field output of the diathermy and through induction convert it into an electrical field, transmit the energy into the patient increasing the current density at the electrodes of applicators. Since the patient may not feel the 27 MHz frequency, they lack the protective sensation and tissue burns could result. Short-wave field could potentially damage or reset medical devices in close proximity to the drum applicator.
• Treatment should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerves, (located in the anterior neck triangle), including, stellate ganglion, vagus nerve, or laryngeal or pharyngeal muscle. Particular care should be taken for patients with a known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex, as carotid sinus stimulation may alter blood pressure and cardiac contractility.
• Do not apply treatment over testes, heart or eyes. Electrical stimulation may affect organ function.
• Do not apply over or in close proximity to active cancer (except in terminal / palliative / hospice care), as therapy may increase blood flow to the tumor.
• Treatment should not be applied when high fever is present over swollen, severe infection (osteomyelitis, sepsis, tuberculosis, etc.) or inflamed areas/skin eruptions (phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.).
• Do not apply over the lumbar or abdominal region, or over the uterus during pregnancy (to prevent uterine contraction), or during menstruation as therapy may temporarily increase menstrual flow.Treatment should not be applied transcranially. Since the effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation should not be applied across the head, and electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of the head;
• Stimulation should not be applied to patients connected to patient monitoring equipment, as the stimulation may have an effect on the proper operation of the monitoring equipment.
• Stimulation should not be applied directly over external stimulator systems with lead wires
• Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) should not be applied directly over or in close proximity to Deep
Vein Thrombosis (DVT), as it activates the muscle and causes muscle contractions. This should be avoided in tissue following an acute DVT when the thrombosis is not completely resolved. Therapists should follow the guidelines provided by the referring physician on recommended activity level and modality use. If the patient is not permitted exercise, NMES therapy should be avoided. Generally, NMES over a DVT of six weeks or less should be avoided altogether.

• The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy has not been established;
• Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium. The irritation can usually be reduced by using an alternate conductive medium, or alternate electrode placement.
• Application site and settings should be based on the guidance of the prescribing practitioner.
• All equipment and accessories should be kept out of the reach of children or unqualified persons.
• Do not connect this device to any wall outlet that has not been properly grounded, or to any electrically nonisolated medical device Powered muscle stimulators should be used only with the leads and electrodes recommended for use by the manufacturer. Use this device only with the leads, electrodes, and accessories recommended by the manufacturer. Use only ACP specified accessories and/or supplies with ACP devices. Do not use any power cords, or power supplies, other than the ones provided or specified for this device. Use of any other power supply could seriously damage the device and will void the warranty.
• The use of conductive mediums other than specifically approved pre-gelled or self-adhering electrodes such as ultrasound gel or lotion, hand or body lotion, electrolyte spray mist, paper towels, non-approved reusable or disposable pre-gelled or self-adhering electrodes—are contraindicated for use with OmniVersa, Omnistim
Systems.
• When cleaning the device, never immerse them or wash them with water. See the infection control section in this manual for cleaning instructions. Devices should not be submerged in water or other liquids.
• Failure to follow the manufacturer’s prescribed maintenance for this device may lead to device failure and transient or unreliable performance. State and federal survey and JCAHO require all equipment to be maintained and calibrated according to the manufacturer recommended schedules.
• A potential electric shock hazard exists once the device outer casing has been in part, or fully, removed. Only qualified service personnel should perform Service and repairs. Warranty will be voided if the outer casing has been removed or tampered with.
• Use caution when the patient has a tendency to bleed internally, such as following an injury or fracture. Do not apply over areas of hemorrhage or active bleeding.
• Inspect and cleanse the skin prior to application. Following treatment check the skin for evidence of irritation or burns, and if present, treat as appropriate. If the patient has, or complains of, skin irritation following treatment; shorten the treatment time on the next treatment session, or use an alternative type of therapy or electrode placement.
• Gradually increase the output intensity/power to required dose or patient tolerance while monitoring the device display.
• Caution should be taken with patient exhibiting psychological or physical hypersensitivity to the therapeutic treatment. Several attempts should be made to place them at ease so that their confidence and cooperation can be gained during the treatment.
• The treatment area should be checked from time to time, and if there is evidence of, or if the patient complains of, pain during treatment, adjust the output downward until it is tolerated by the patient. If the patient continues to complain of pain, discontinue the treatment and shorten the treatment time on the next treatment session, or use an alternative type of therapy or electrode placement.
• Do not apply treatment directly over/under hot or cold packs. Caution is recommended when treatment follows the application of hot or cold therapy, which may alter the patient’s sensation. Application of thermal agents over areas of impaired circulation should be performed with caution as the circulation may be insufficient to heat or cool the tissue, altering the patient’s perception of warmth and pain, and burns or tissue necrosis may result from subsequent treatment.
• Caution is recommended when treatment follows the application of medicated patches, salves, or creams which may alter the patient’s sensation. If there is a medical necessity to perform such treatments, these patients should be monitored diligently during application. The effect of electrical stimulation may be altered by the presence of these materials on the patient’s skin.

The OmniVersa is a Multi-Modality therapy system that integrates electrotherapy, ultrasound and combination therapy into one system. The electrotherapy is equipped with two identical electrotherapy channels. The electrotherapy channels can be used in combination (linked) or independent. A comprehensive set of current waveforms is available, targeting both pain management and muscle stimulation applications. Protocol driven operation is available, providing both factory and/or user defined sequences of treatment steps. Protocols can run on linked or independent channels. With independent channels two different protocols can be performed simultaneously.
The OmniVersa ultrasound therapy section provides two positions for attachment of an ultrasound applicator.
Depending on the device configuration ordered, the Omnisound ® Professional comes with an applicator with a large contact area, an applicator with a small contact area or with both applicators. The applicators can operate in continuous or pulsed mode at an ultrasound frequency of 1 MHz or 3 MHz and are suitable for underwater treatments.
The OmniVersa can be operated as a combination device, combining the functions of the OmniVersa and the
Omnisound Pro in a single device when the Omnisound transducers are added to the system. With the OmniVersa the simultaneous application of ultrasound and electrotherapy (combination therapy) is also possible. The remaining electrotherapy channel can then be used independently.
The OmniVersa is designed to provide Interferential Current Therapy (IFC), Medium Frequency Alternating Currents
(MFAC), Low Voltage Pulsed Current (LVPC), High Voltage Pulsed Current Therapy (HVPC), and Patterned
Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation (PENS), which is a form of stimulation that replicates the correct firing patterns of muscles (agonist and antagonist or reciprocal muscle pairs) in Triphasic (ballistic), biphasic (reciprocal), or functional patterns.
In Interferential and MFAC modes two separate generators produce medium frequency (2000, to 10,000 Hz) alternating current in continuous or burst modulated modes. Two isolated output circuits with independent intensity controls are provided. The output of each circuit is easily determined in milliamps through the display screen. The digital timer allows the operator to select the length of the total treatment time and to monitor the time remaining in minutes.
The OmniVersa offers Full Field (Premodulated) Interferential Current Therapy. An interferential vector scanning mode can be turned off or on for stationary or continuous movement of the interferential field.

Three ways to switch off the output of current flow
It is recommended that the user stop the output of current flow in one of three ways:
1.
Pressing the Stop button on the lower right side of the display
2.
Pressing the Emergency Stop icon on the upper right corner of the display
3.
Pressing the orange LCD Display Power Switch on the top rear of the system.
All three ways will cause the unit to immediately switch off the output power and drain any remaining capacitance. Doing this will therefore make it impossible for the therapist to feel a shock from remaining output power.
NOTE: – If the Main Power Switch is turned to the OFF position during a therapy session the system will continue to operate under battery power. The current will continue to flow through the patient and potentially through the therapist should they try to remove the electrodes.

The Omnisound is indicated for:
• Relieving pain
• Decreases joint stiffness and contractures
• Reduction of muscle spasm
• Increases local circulation
• Relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures that may be associated with: adhesive capsulitis, bursitis with slight calcification, myositis, soft tissue injuries, shortened tendons due to past injuries and scar tissues
• Relief of sub-chronic, chronic pain and joint contractures resulting from: capsular tightness, capsular scaring
• Patients with an implanted medical device other than a pacemaker.
• Near brain, cervical ganglia, spine, laminectomy sites (can cause spinal-cord heating)
• Near the reproductive organs
• Total hip arthroplasties with methylmethacrylate or high density polyethylene
• Arthroplasties—the effect on bony ingrowth arthroplasties is not well defined; for this reason the most prudent course is avoiding ultrasonic therapy over these areas
Note:
There is no contraindication to the application of Ultrasound over metal implants.
• Over or near bone growth centers until bone growth is complete
• Over the thoracic area if the patient is using a cardiac pacemaker
• In an area of the body where a malignancy is known to be present
• In an area of the body where infectious disease is present
• Blood vessels in poor condition should not be treated as the vessel walls may rupture as a result of the exposure
• Patients suffering from cardiac disease should not receive treatment over the cervical ganglia, the stellate ganglion, the thorax in the region of the heart, or the vagus nerve, as a reflex coronary vasospasm might result. Only low intensities and short treatment times should be used if these patients are treated in other areas since the stimulation of practically any afferent autonomic nerve (especially the vagus nerve) in the body may cause a change in cardiac rate
• Patients with thrombophlebitis or other potentially thromboembolic diseases (such as DVT) should not be treated since a partially disintegrated clot could result in an obstruction of the arterial supply to the brain, heart or lungs
• Over a healing fracture
• Over the eye
• Over the pregnant uterus
• Over ischemic tissues in individuals with vascular disease where the blood supply would be unable to follow the increase in metabolic demand
• Over areas of recent bleeding or hemorrhage
• Over areas of active tuberculosis

Please notice that Accelerated Care Plus cannot provide medical advice. If you have specific medical questions, please contact your healthcare professional.
• Do not operate this device until the User Manual, including all Indications for Use, Contraindications, Warnings and Precautions, have been carefully read and understood.
• Operation of this device or placement of lead wires, probes, pads and electrodes in close proximity (less than 5 feet) to an operating shortwave or microwave diathermy unit may produce instability in the device output or burns at the treatment site. Since the patient may not feel the 27 MHz frequency, they lack the protective sensation and tissue burns could result. Short-wave field could potentially damage or reset medical devices in close proximity to the drum applicator.
• Treatment should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerves, (located in the anterior neck triangle), including, stellate ganglion, vagus nerve, or laryngeal or pharyngeal muscle. Particular care should be taken for patients with a known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex, as carotid sinus stimulation may alter blood pressure and cardiac contractility.
• Do not apply treatment over heart. Thermal/sub-thermal treatment may affect organ function.
• Treatment should not be applied when high fever is present.
• Do not apply over the lumbar or abdominal region, or over the uterus during menstruation as therapy may temporarily increase menstrual flow.
• Treatment should not be applied directly over external stimulator systems.
• The treatment head should be moved continuously during treatment to avoid discomfort and burns.
• An appropriate coupling medium should be employed in order to ensure energy transmission to the tissue.

• Application site and settings should be based on the guidance of the prescribing practitioner.
• All equipment and accessories should be kept out of the reach of children or unqualified persons.
• Do not connect this device to any wall outlet that has not been properly grounded, or to any electrically nonisolated medical device.
• Use only ACP specified accessories and/or supplies with ACP devices. Do not use any power cords, or power supplies, other than the ones provided or specified for this device. Use of any other power supply could seriously damage the device and will void the warranty.
• When cleaning the device, never immerse them or wash them with water. See the infection control section in this manual for cleaning instructions. Devices should not be submerged in water or other liquids.
• Failure to follow the manufacturer’s prescribed maintenance for this device may lead to device failure and transient or unreliable performance. State and federal survey and JCAHO require all equipment to be maintained and calibrated according to the manufacturer recommended schedules.
• A potential electric shock hazard exists once the device outer casing has been in part, or fully, removed. Only qualified service personnel should perform Service and repairs. Warranty will be voided if the outer casing has been removed or tampered with. Inspect and cleanse the skin prior to application. Following treatment check the skin for evidence of irritation or burns, and if present, treat as appropriate. If the patient has, or complains of, skin irritation following treatment; shorten the treatment time on the next treatment session, or use an alternative type of therapy or applicator placement.
• Gradually increase the output intensity/power to required dose or patient tolerance while monitoring the device display.
• Caution should be taken with patient exhibiting psychological or physical hypersensitivity to the therapeutic treatment. Several attempts should be made to place them at ease so that their confidence and cooperation can be gained during the treatment.
• The treatment area should be checked from time to time, and if there is evidence of, or if the patient complains of, pain or overheating during treatment, adjust the output downward until it is tolerated by the patient. If the patient continues to complain of pain or overheating, discontinue the treatment and shorten the treatment time on the next treatment session, or use an alternative type of therapy or applicator placement.
• Do not apply treatment directly over/under hot or cold packs. Caution is recommended when treatment follows the application of hot or cold therapy, which may alter the patient’s sensation. Application of thermal agents over areas of impaired circulation should be performed with caution as the circulation may be insufficient to heat or cool the tissue, altering the patient’s perception of warmth and pain, and burns or tissue necrosis may result from subsequent treatment.
• Treatment should not follow the application of medicated patches, salves, or creams. The presence of electrical stimulation may be altered by the presence of these materials on the patient’s skin. Some medications can alter the patient’s sensation. Heat can also increase the absorption of medication and may be contraindicated. If there is a medical necessity to perform such treatments, these patients should be monitored diligently during application.
• Caution should be used when applying thermal ultrasound over areas of body where circulation is impaired, or which lack normal sensation. Absent or diminished sensation should be avoided or, if unavoidable, treated with caution. Establishment of acceptable intensity levels for desensitized areas may be related to the intensity levels tolerated on normal skin in opposite or related body parts.
• Do not connect this device to any electro medical equipment for combination therapy except the Omnistim ® family of electro stimulators.
• Do not immerse any part of the operator’s body into the water bath during underwater techniques since the longterm biophysical effects of ultrasonic energy exposure have not been evaluated.
• Over acute skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, etc.

Medium frequency (MF) currents may be described as electrical currents applied to the body for therapeutic purposes, which fall in the range of 1000 to 10,000 cycles per second (Hz). This is in contrast to low frequency currents (0.1 to
1000 Hz) such as LVPC and high frequency currents (1 million Hz and beyond), which include ultrasound, shortwave and microwave diathermy. Medium frequency and short duration low frequency currents are very advantageous for clinical use due to their ease of skin penetration at lower intensities.
Normal human skin reacts differently to different frequencies of current. Specifically, there is an inverse relationship between the frequency of the applied current and the skin’s resistance to it. Medium frequency alternating currents in the range of 1000 or 5000 Hz or biphasic waveforms with pulse durations less than 200 usec provide markedly lower tissue resistance.
With medium frequency currents, the energy of each individual pulse is low providing for stimulation of only one or two neurons. Since the pulses are coming in very rapid succession, stimulation of surrounding neurons occurs prior to completion of the previous neurons refractory period. This allows for asynchronous activation of individual sensory neurons, mimicking the natural physiologic process of the intact nervous system. This is not the case with low frequency (0.1 to 1000 Hz) stimulators, which are capable of only stimulus synchronous neural activation.
Medium frequency currents provide rapid analgesic effects. This occurs due to rapid depolarization of non-myelinated pain-transmitting fibers, which block pain transmission, further contributing to high muscle contraction capabilities.
Additionally, medium frequency currents have been shown to alter the vascular dynamics affecting local and possibly systemic blood flow to the muscle(s) being stimulated. The unique characteristics of medium frequency currents, (i.e., higher percent duty cycle, higher average current intensity, and wider pulse widths), can significantly increase blood flow by altering the metabolic activity of muscles.

The following electrode placement diagrams are a theoretical representation of treatment set-ups using the Omnistim ®
FX 2 Professional. Monopolar, Bipolar and Quadripolar techniques are illustrated. Electrode placement is dependent on the etiology of the condition.
Monopolar (Mono-Polar) Technique
This technique may use two electrodes of different sizes. The smaller or
“active” electrode can be positioned over the segmental innervation or peripheral nerve path of the involved tissue, or over a distal location overlying any muscle that is not an antagonist to the muscle being stimulated.

Bipolar (Bi-Polar) Technique
This is the most commonly used technique for muscle stimulation. This technique utilizes two electrodes but not exclusively of the same size. One electrode should be applied over the motor point and the other electrode over the belly of the muscle as far away from the motor point as possible. This technique allows for more effective muscle and nerve fiber recruitment since the entire neural innervation of the muscle is furnished with current.
Quadripolar (Quadri-Polar) Technique
This technique requires the use of two output channels and four electrodes usually, but not exclusively of the same size. The two electrodes from one channel are usually placed diagonally across the tissue area or joint to be treated with the second channel electrodes placed on the opposite diagonal.
This ensures that the current will intersect and thus provide and interferential pattern.

Skin Inspection
Thoroughly cleanse the treated area with soap and water to remove oils, creams, dirt, and sweat; this will ensure uniform current conduction across the skin. After cleansing, inspect and evaluate the skin’s integrity and sensation prior to treatment. Avoid absent or diminished sensation; if unavoidable, treat with caution. Establishment of acceptable intensity levels for desensitized areas may be related to the intensity levels tolerated on normal skin in opposite or related body parts. Frequently monitor the intensity level and skin response during all treatments.
Stinging, burning or other painful sensation under the electrodes on normal or desensitized areas is an indication of increased current density under part or the entire electrode surface. In this case, slowly but immediately reduce the current intensity to zero; Make sure that the channel output on the display is zero, and then remove the electrodes to inspect the surface skin. Recheck your application techniques.
Immediately after treatment, clean and thoroughly inspect the skin under the electrode. Peripheral vasodilatation along with systemic vasomotor responses can lead to redness (hyperemia) directly under both electrodes. Inform the patient of this normal after effect and that the redness will disappear within an hour or two. Apply topical agents to the reddened area under the electrodes if needed to decrease post-treatment irritation. Persistent skin irritation could be due to repeated stimulation of the same electrode site or a possible allergic reaction to the conductive mediums, tapes, elastic wraps, and/or cleaning and disinfectant solutions. Therefore, use additional electrode stimulation sites to decrease or eliminate skin irritation on electrically sensitive patients. If skin irritation persists with alternate site applications, decrease the treatment times and lower the intensities; if necessary, discontinue treatment. If an allergic reaction is suspected, attempt to identify and change the allergic substance(s). If skin irritation persists, discontinue treatment until the source of irritation is determined.
By far the most common error with reported faulty machines is inadequate or improper conductive medium interface or lead wire breakage. Because of the increased current density available with pulsed or continuous medium frequency currents, a proportionally greater degree of conductive medium interface problems exists and should be monitored by the clinician.
ACP Reusable Electrodes
Remove the electrodes from their foil packaging. Cleanse the skin, and then apply the electrodes over the treatment site points according to the electrode placements techniques described in this manual. Various sizes of electrodes are available dependent upon muscle size of the area to be treated. Follow the enclosed infection control procedures.
Review the warnings and application directions on the electrode packaging.
CAUTION: Connection of accessories other than the ones specified by the manufacturer can adversely affect the safety of the patient and correct functioning of the equipment, and is therefore not permitted.
WARNING: The use of conductive mediums other than specifically approved pre-gelled or self-adhering electrodes such as ultrasound gel or lotion, hand or body lotion, electrolyte spray mist, paper towels, non-approved reusable or disposable pre-gelled or self-adhering electrodes—are contraindicated for use with OmniVersa and Omnistim
Systems. Any electrodes that have current densities exceeding 2 mA/cm2 may require special attention of the operator.
Lead Wires
Inspect the full length of the lead wires for signs of frayed or cut wires and loose connections where the lead wires join the tip pins. Insert the sheathed tip pins into the plug completely. Allow the lead wires to hang freely with no excessive strain on the connectors and plug insulator.

Welcome to the Omnisound Pro, the system that redefines therapeutic ultrasound. While conceiving and designing the Omnisound Pro, ACP set out to overcome the limitations of ordinary ultrasound devices. Here are just a few of the functions we developed that make the Omnisound Pro truly the future of ultrasound therapy:
Controlled Depth of Penetration - The Omnisound Pro enables you to treat soft tissue injuries, superficially with 3 MHz and instantly at the push of a button, treats deeper injuries with 1 MHz - without switching transducers.
Two Transducer Sizes - Our 0.8cm
2 and 5cm 2 heads offer optimum flexibility in treatment and are automatically enabled as you change from one to the other.
Continuous and Pulsed Modes - Variable duty factors offer a choice between 5, 10, 20, 25, 33, 50 and
100% (continuous) applications for optimum flexibility in all phases of treatment.
Delta T Temperature Mode - Automatic dose control system helps to assure consistent tissue heating. This mode is available only on the 5cm 2 transducer.
Combination Therapy – Internal connection allows for combination therapy.
Excellent BNR and ERA - Our superior BNR and ERA makes for highly uniform and comfortable applications.
Automatic Self-Test with Problem Identification - Allows accurate evaluation and documentation of unit functionality before you begin treatment.
Ultrasound therapy devices generally consist of a generator and a transducer. The generator produces the electrical drive output to the transducer and provides measurement of its ultrasonic output. The transducer converts the electrical energy from the generator into mechanical vibrations, known as ultrasonic vibrations. These vibrations are then coupled to the patient's tissue via a coupling medium such as ultrasonic gel, water or mineral oil.
The frequency of the ultrasonic wave will determine the absorption by the tissue and thus the penetration of the beam
are typically applied for therapeutic purposes in pulsed or in the tissue. Output intensities of 0.1 - 3 watts/cm 2 continuous wave modes.
Ultrasonic output may be produced on a continuous basis or may be pulsed.
Continuous Wave Output
In continuous wave mode (CW) the time average power is defined as the temporal average power and is 50 percent of the peak instantaneous power. When the ultrasound unit is calibrated with a power measurement device, it is generally measured in the continuous wave mode.
COPYRIGHT © 2017-2020, ACCELERATED CARE PLUS CORP., ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
OMNIVERSA ® ULTRASOUND / ELECTROTHERAPY SYSTEM - 59 -
Pulsed Wave Output
Ultrasound devices may also produce pulsed waveforms. These outputs are generally square wave in shape as is the case with the Omnisound. The output of pulsed ultrasound is defined as the average output over one cycle of the carrier, rather than the average over time (time average). Duty factor is the ratio of on time to total time for pulsed waveforms. Decreasing duty factor will reduce the average ultrasonic power, which will lower the thermal effect of the beam on the tissue .
Beam Characteristics, Power, and Intensity Measurement
Intensity is a quantity used to establish exposure level to the ultrasound beam. Ultrasonic output power or intensity can be measured in watts or watts per square centimeter. Watts are a measure of the total power emitted in the form of ultrasonic radiation by the applicator, averaged over each cycle of the ultrasonic radiation carrier wave. However, ultrasound applicators do not generally produce beams of perfectly uniform intensity over the surface of the transducer.
When the power is expressed in watts/cm 2 , it provides the output in watts for each square centimeter of effective radiating area on the transducer surface. The effective radiating area (ERA) is a measurement of the surface area of the transducer, which produces more than 5 percent of the maximum intensity in the near ultrasound field measured at 5mm from the transducer surface. It should be noted that the effective radiating area does not generally cover the entire surface area of the transducer (effective radiating surface) and varies with the crystal frequency when operated at different crystal harmonics. Thus the measurement represents an average for the effective radiating surface area.
Beam Non-Uniformity Ratio (BNR)
Ultrasound has an excellent ability to penetrate deeply, primarily due to its small beam divergence (Schwan, 1958).
A typical beam scan of an applicator is presented below.

Beam non-uniformity ratio is defined as the ratio of temporal - average spatial - maximum intensity to the temporal average effective intensity as measured at 5mm from the transducer surface. The typical range for most commercially obtainable transducers is between 3 to 1 and 10 to 1. BNR can be useful in comparing one unit to another for field uniformity. One should keep in mind that the spatial maximum intensity in watts/cm 2 is equal to the calibrated intensity on the output display multiplied by the BNR, i.e.: if 1 W/cm
7:1 the maximum intensity in the tissue would equal 7 W/cm mind when determining output dosage.

was registering on the output display and the BNR was
at certain portions of the field. This should be kept in
Note:
It is also important to maintain continuous movement of the head for these reasons.
Output Power and Exposure Time
The total power for a given amount of treatment time determines the total energy transferred to the tissue. One should note that if one uses different ultrasonic generators with differing effective radiating areas, one should use the total power measurement not the intensity measurement in order to correlate the settings on the units. Times must also be accurate in order to assure proper treatment dosage.
Note:
Care should be taken when applying therapy to move the head continuously over the treatment area.
Monitoring of Delivered Power or Intensity
The power meter displays the ultrasonic power level to be delivered to the patient under proper coupling conditions. First apply an ultrasound coupling to the treatment area. The output control (up power arrow) should then be increased to the desired power or intensity level. Power should be reduced prior to decoupling to avoid overheating of the transducer when used. If little coupling is occurring in the treatment area due to the size of the area, underwater application technique may be indicated. It is poor practice to allow continuous overheating of the transducer
Ultrasound Transmission and Absorption
When ultrasonic energy is applied to the tissue, it is absorbed in varying degrees. This absorption of energy can increase tissue kinetic energy leading to increased temperature or the formation of cavitation or acoustic micro streaming
It is known that different tissue types absorb ultrasound differently and for this reason, the modality has the ability to selectively treat certain tissues due to their greater energy absorption. The absorption coefficient describes the degree of absorption by the tissue and is approximately equal to the frequency in the 1-4MHz range. For this reason, ACP uses both 1.0 and 3.0MHz ultrasonic outputs through its treatment transducer. The use of these two frequencies allows
COPYRIGHT © 2017-2020, ACCELERATED CARE PLUS CORP., ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
OMNIVERSA ® ULTRASOUND / ELECTROTHERAPY SYSTEM - 61 - greater or less attenuation of the beam, for example, 1.0MHz penetrates approximately 3 times more than 3.0MHz.
This may be helpful in selecting intensity and time for ultrasonic therapy applications. Due to this reason, the patient will generally experience much faster heating with 3MHz ultrasound and dosage or treatment time may have to be reduced to avoid overheating of the tissue
Temperature Mode of Operation / ∆ T Mode
In order to achieve repeatable thermal effects of ultrasound in tissue the dosage of the ultrasound beam must be carefully controlled. This involves accurate determination of the treatment area, coupling to be used, frequency of operation, BNR and the desired temperature increase required to achieve appropriate therapeutic effects in the tissue.
Lehman and other investigators have categorized the effects of ultrasound on tissue as being of a mild or 1°C increase, moderate or 2°C increase or vigorous or 2-4°C heating effect above the baseline tissue temperature of 37.5°C.
Typically, vigorous heating is used to treat connective tissue contracture and scar tissue while moderate and mild heating are used in pain control, sub-acute and chronic inflammatory conditions and for muscle spasm reduction.
Note:
The 5cm transducer is the only transduc er capable of operating in the Δ T mode. The 0.8cm head will default to 20% duty factor and can only be used in pulsed or continuous modes.

The following guidelines should be followed when applying ultrasound for therapeutic treatment.
Note:
Make sure that the output is switched OFF when the transducer is not in use. Temperature will rise rapidly if the output is switched ON and the transducer is not in contact with the skin.
1. Prior to starting treatment, cleanse and inspect the US Transducer applicator head for cracks, which may allow the ingress of conductive fluid; Inspect the treatment head cables and associated connectors; The user should handle the US transducer applicator head with care at all times, since rough handling may adversely affect its characteristics
2. Thorough cleansing of the treated area for removal of oils, creams, dirt, and sweat will ensure more uniform delivery of ultrasonic energy across the skin. After cleansing, an inspection and evaluation of the skin's integrity and sensation should be done prior to treatment.
3. Test the patient’s skin in the desired treatment area for sensory response prior to the application of ultrasound therapy. If areas of anesthesia or lack of temperature sensitivity are found, use caution and low doses (subthermal). Care should be exercised with these patients, as they may not detect damaging thermal effects.
4. Use the minimum effective dosage (including power and exposure time). If more therapy is required, a longer time at a lower output is recommended. Avoid using maximum power levels. For example, a typical comfortable output should be 0.5 - 1.5 W/cm2.
5. Use a slow (approximately 1cm per second) linear or circular motion with the transducer. The treatment area should be restricted to two of the transducer sizes, which approximates 2 effective radiating areas (ERA). This is absolutely mandatory if the correct relationships in the calculation equations are to be met.
6.. Apply coupling medium plentifully to the area to be treated. As the superficial skin temperature increases, more gel may be added to cool the skin while performing the treatment.
7.. ACP applicators are fully waterproof and may be used with underwater technique for the smaller joints where effective coupling is not possible. The water temperature should be slightly warmer than the target tissue temperature. It is recommended that the handle is held by the operator without direct contact to the water, to avoid exposure. If this is not possible, it is recommended that the operator wear gloves to avoid direct contract with treatment area.

OMNIVERSA ® ULTRASOUND / ELECTROTHERAPY SYSTEM - 63 -
8.. When using ultrasound, a moving head technique is recommended to avoid the buildup of “Hot Spots" or standing waves which might lead to tissue damage.
9.. To start the treatment, supply adequate coupling, apply the transducer to the patient and increase the power. Adjust the output intensity - typically to a range of 0.5W/cm 2 to 1.5W/cm 2 based on patient comfort. The treatment time will automatically adjust based on the power setting chosen to provide the correct dosage. As the power is increased, the time decreases and vice versa. If the patient experiences any discomfort, decrease the power by a small amount (0.1 - .2W/cm 2 ) and note if the pain is reduced. If so, continue the treatment.
Note:
The Delta T mode of operation is calibrated for muscle not in proximity of bone. If the ultrasound application at
3MHz is within 1 cm of bone the 2-Delta T mode will heat at a rate of 4 °C, or the 1-Delta T mode will heat at 2
°C. Within .5cm proximal to bone, the 1-Delta T mode will heat at 4 °C due to the reflection of the ultrasound field from the bone back into the overlying tissue.
10. Reduce the output power if the patient complains of pricking sensations, “pins and needles” or painful temperature changes. Induced pain is also a good indication that the dosage level is too high. This sensation may indicate periosteal heating and should be avoided as significant tissue damage may occur under prolonged treatment application.
11. Proper personnel training on use of ultrasound and the equipment is essential in order to ensure high standards of therapy.
12. Avoid operator exposure to the ultrasonic field.

Combination therapy with Ultrasound and Electrotherapy has been used for the treatment of pain, muscle spasm and to increase local circulation. The treatment of trigger points with a combination of electrotherapy and sub-thermal or thermal ultrasound is an effective technique in acute and chronic pain management, which simultaneously relieves muscle spasm. For POST TRAUMATIC - POST SURGICAL, ACUTE pain and INCREASE LOCAL
CIRCULATION, it is generally applied as a combination of sub-thermal ultrasound with HVPC currents or PREMOD sensory. For more chronic pain conditions or muscle spasms, it is generally applied as thermal US with PREMOD motor stimulation.
Combination Therapy Application Technique
The OmniVersa system has built in protocols for the combination of ultrasound and electrotherapy.
1. Prior to starting treatment, cleanse and inspect the US Transducer applicator head for cracks, which may allow the ingress of conductive fluid; Inspect the treatment head cables and associated connectors; The user should handle the US transducer applicator head with care at all times, since rough handling may adversely affect its characteristics
2. Determine the appropriate indication or electrotherapy waveform (Manual mode) best suited to treat the patient’s specific condition.
3. Select size of electrode, making certain that the electrode chosen is larger than the transducer head size.
Attach the self-adhesive electrode to the patient’s body.
4. Using the positive wire on Channel B of the OmniVersa connect the Combination Therapy single lead wire positive (red) tip pin into the unit and the other end into the electrode. This will allow the ultrasound applicator to remain as the active electrode.
5. From the user interface “Home screen”, choose Combination Therapy and select either Manual Operation or the appropriate Indication or Favorites protocol.
6. Select desired electrotherapy protocol or waveform (either PREMOD or HVPC).
7. Apply a liberal amount of conductive gel to the patient’s body and place the transducer on the target tissue and keep the sound head in motion.
8. From the ultrasound screen set the appropriate treatment parameters and intensity level.

• Barrier Film – One-time use, disposable plastic film for use over touch/operator surfaces of equipment to reduce risks of cross-contamination and need for high level disinfection of equipment between patients.
• Germicidal Disposable Wipe – Low level and/or intermediate level disposable germicidal disinfectant wipe for use on electrotherapeutic devices and accessories.
• Plastic Lead Wire Sleeve – Barrier to be used on electrical stimulation lead wires, covering the junction of lead wire and electrode wire.
Universal Precautions (UP) must be implemented in the care of all patients to protect employees from occupational exposure to blood borne pathogens. Personal protective equipment (gloves, masks, gowns) should be available and worn by staff when occupational exposure to blood, body fluids containing blood, semen and vaginal secretions is likely to occur. Health care workers with exudating lesions or weeping dermatitis should refrain from all direct patient care and from handling patient care equipment until the condition resolves. Equipment must be cleaned/disinfected and protective barriers used when appropriate.
Modality equipment shall be cleaned/disinfected per facility infection control policy. ACP recommends the following guidelines:
This is a recommended daily housekeeping practice to keep the equipment clean and free of contaminants which could contribute to transmission of infection. The following practices are recommended for use when treating intact skin without the presence of physiologic fluids such as blood and urine.
• Clean equipment daily with ACP germicidal wipes. At the end of the day, wipe common contact surfaces, such as control panel and lead wires, with germicidal disposable wipe and allow to air dry. This technique will inactivate M. tuberculosis as well as most bacteria and viruses. This will also facilitate removal of organic material contaminants from equipment.
• Disposable/reusable electrodes are for individual patient use only and should not be used on multiple patients.
This method is recommended to keep the equipment clean and free of contaminants when used between patients for treatment of non-intact skin or incontinence management, where there is an increased risk of patient crosscontamination. The following are the recommended practices.
• After each use, clean common contact surfaces, such as control panel and lead wires with ACP germicidal wipes.
• With a second ACP germicidal cloth, wipe again leaving surfaces wet for at least 5 minutes. Allow the surface to air dry before patient use.
• Barriers should also be used on the equipment for treatment of non-intact skin or incontinence management.
This technique will inactivate M. tuberculosis as well as most bacteria and viruses.

The use of an all-purpose barrier film provides surface protection from cross-contamination resulting from a variety of applications. This precaution should be used whenever dealing with non-intact skin or the chance of coming in contact with bodily fluids. Barrier film is designed to cover any surface that may be touched during a patient treatment, in order to help prevent cross-contamination. Barrier film is for single-use only. The film is discarded after each patient treatment. The procedure for use is as follows:
1.
Wash hands.
2.
Apply Intermediate Level Disinfection prior to barrier application.
3.
Select, tear or cut with clean scissors a length of barrier film to fit over the operator surfaces of the OmniVersa unit.
4.
Select and cut with clean scissors a 2-foot length of plastic sleeve and fit over the lead wire and the electrode cabling.
5.
Prepare any items which may become in contact with the therapist during treatment, such as ultrasound gel, pens, assessment tools, cart handles, etc.
6.
Set up the patient per guidelines for the procedure.
7.
Provide treatment as appropriate.
8.
Discard all disposables.
9.
With clean gloves, remove the plastic film from the unit and discard.
10.
Remove the plastic sleeve from the lead wire by sliding it toward the electrode. Remove the electrode and discard with the sleeve.
11.
Intermediate disinfect the OmniVersa unit prior to the next treatment application.

UE BIPHASIC PENS
This program is used to re-educate upper extremity agonist - antagonist muscle pairs to enhance reciprocal and fast movement. It is called biphasic because the agonist fires first followed by the antagonist. Due to reciprocating action of the muscle groups there is no third phase. Functional task simulation is reciprocal movement such as typing, boxing, piano playing, swimming, upper extremity positioning speed walking, rowing, etc. Patterned
Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation (PENS) is a precise reproduction of EMG firing patterns of muscle agonist and antagonist pairs. PENS should be used prior to Therex to improve recruitment and motor performance. It’s also used to decrease spasticity and muscle tone.

MFAC LARGE MUSCLE
Program used for muscle re-education and treatment of muscle disuse atrophy. Activation of muscle with electrical stimulation at a high intensity for a short time with long “ON/OFF” ramps reduces atrophy. The patient should participate to the extent possible by contracting during the stimulation “ON” time. Target tissues are superficial and deep muscle groups. Bipolar set-up over agonist and antagonist muscles for target muscle. The intensity should be set to elicit a grade 2 to 4 muscle contraction. Treatment time should be reduced based on muscle fatigue. The affected joint movement should be restricted by holding manually, or using weights or exercise bands.

Motor Nerve Block
This protocol provides symptomatic relief of superficial and deep muscle spasm and hypertonicity. It blocks motor nerves by causing a temporary nerve block through reactive depolarization (Conduction block) of the motor signal on its way to the muscle. Also known as Wedensky inhibition. Duration of relief is typically from 1 to 2 hours. Faster onset of relief usually within 5 to 10 minutes. Target tissue is superficial and deep. Bipolar or quadripolar electrode placement over local muscle and nerve supply. The intensity should be set to elicit a numb-gripping sensation just under muscle contraction. This current is more aggressive than Sensory nerve block as the carrier frequency is set to 5000 Hz instead of 10,000 Hz. As the current adapts over time, the intensity should be adjusted upwards during treatment.

Interferential Current Therapy (IFC)
The new Webster Encyclopedia Dictionary of the
English Language defines interference as “the mutual action waves of any kind (water, sound, heat or light) upon each other, by which the vibrations and their effects are increased, diminished or neutralized.”
As such, interferential current (IFC) therapy requires at least two signal sources, which
“interfere” within the tissue to be treated. The resulting interference of the generators generates therapeutically useful stimulation of the area undergoing treatment. Interferential current therapy technique relies on amplitude differences between two or more isolated independent signals to produce fields of higher or lower intensity within the tissue.
The purpose of interferential current therapy is to provide deep tissue treatment, which is not generally obtainable with conventional electrotherapy approaches. Its primary

Ex. 5000 Hz Pulsed at 100Hz application is in the reduction of pain and in the stimulation of increased blood flow in the deeper tissues and muscles.
AMPLITUDE SUMMATION IFC TECHNIQUE
Simply stated, electric currents with frequencies in the range of 1000-10,000 Hz, known as medium frequency currents, are run through the tissue to be treated when applied continuously. These frequencies inhibit nerve conduction based on the fact that they cause temporary nerve membrane depolarization while present. This effect is known as Wedensky Inhibition or nerve block. Medium frequency currents have an inhibitory effect on pain transmission and sensation within the field of treatment. This effect is responsible for the decreased sensation under the stimulation electrodes. Medium frequencies are also selected due to their excellent tissue penetration. This occurs as a result of the decreased tissue resistance at higher frequencies.

Range from 2,000 to 10,0000 with a default of
2500 or 5000 Hz Pulsed at 100Hz
ex. 5000 Hz
If the medium frequency is modulated the signal will stimulate the tissue and nerves at the modulation burst rate.
The well-known attributes of modulated medium frequency currents, i.e. deep tissue penetration, asynchronous neural stimulation, and low tissue resistance, allows the creation of an interferential therapy system capable of both deep and superficial stimulation with the goals of maximizing sensory inputs. This technique is referred to as full field interferential current therapy. Full field amplitude summation interferential current therapy relies on the addition and subtraction of two intersecting currents within the tissue. This effect is based on the relative phase differences between the currents at different

The highest intensity field is obtained in the deep tissue at bisecting angles to the out-of-phase electrodes. This technique offers three stimulation fields.
IFC – Nerve Block Mode
Should the clinician desire rapid analgesia and maximum comfort in both the surface and deep tissues, continuous non-modulated MF currents may be used with the OmniVersa, which will produce strong nerve blocks (Wedensky
Inhibition) throughout the entire treatment field. This is often useful in the mobilization of joints, prior to transverse friction massage, or for relieving acute pain. It should be noted that this technique would produce only transient relief of pain.
The effects of full field interferential current therapy may be described as follows: a. Stimulation of deep and surface tissues. b. May be used to produce deep and surface analgesia via nerve block (Wedensky Inhibition) when MF mode is used.
Vector Technique:
In order to move the position of the deep interferential fields, researchers developed systems to alter the relative amplitudes between stimulation channels in interferential stimulators. This alteration of relative amplitude changes the phase relationships and the position of the summated field in the tissue.
Advantages of Dynamic Vector:
1.
When the patient expresses a poor pain location and cannot indicate whether or not the therapy feels the strongest at the subjectively perceived location of the problem.
2.
When the target tissue area is extremely large.
3.
When you wish to increase the amount of current density in the tissues to obtain a higher therapeutic dosage.
4.
When your electrode placement sites are less than optimal.
Vector Options
The OmniVersa has 4 different dynamic vector options:
• Fast 90 degrees
• Slow 90 Degrees
• Fast 45 Degrees
• Slow 45 Degrees

Neuro-Muscular Stimulation
Since the mid-18th Century, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been used as an adjunctive therapy for various neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders. Clinicians and investigators have been successfully using
NMES to facilitate muscle contraction, to re-educate muscle action, to aid in the prevention of atrophy and to overcome neuromuscular inhibition following injury or surgery.
• Isometric Muscle Stimulation
NMES during isometric exercise offers a reduced threat of over-stress and re-injury to the joint. NMES is clinically used at the mid-point of the range of motion where the muscle can generate maximum torque.

Electrodes in a Bipolar or Quadripolar pattern on the muscle(s) being stimulated. The treatment should be approximately 15 minutes duration 3 to 4 times a week.
• Muscle Spasm Reduction
NMES can be utilized to induce fatigue of muscles in spasm. Researchers have found that the greatest fatigue of muscles occurs when the muscle

Procedures:
Gradually increase intensity to maximum patient tolerance during each contraction. Place electrodes in a
Monopolar, Bipolar or Quadripolar pattern on the muscles in spasm. The treatment time should be of approximately 20 minutes duration repeated 2 or 3 times per week.
• Increased Blood Flow
Long and short-term electrical stimulation of muscle has been shown to alter the vascular dynamics affecting local muscle blood and lymph flow. It has been shown that blood-flow increased significantly during the first minute of electrical stimulation and remained elevated during and for ten minutes following stimulation. The immediacy of vasodilatation following electrical stimulation indicates that the vascular response is a functional, reflexive response. In addition, long-term electrical stimulation has been shown to increase the number of capillaries and thus improve the capillary blood-flow to the stimulated muscle. Not all types and parameters of electrical stimulation affect the blood-flow dynamics of the muscle being stimulated.
Therefore, the following clinical parameters should be adhered to for optimal effectiveness.
Procedure:
Place one or two sets of electrodes in a Bipolar or Quadripolar technique over the selected muscle(s). Gradually increase intensity to 15 to 30% of maximum voluntary contractions. Continue the treatment for approximately
10 minutes.

This current type has a twin peak monophasic waveform with a fixed duration of 64 µs between the two voltage peaks. The amplitude is adjusted in volts rather than in mA. The short rise time and short duration of each voltage peak (approximately 7 µs) is well suited to nerve stimulation and efficient discrimination between sensory, motor and pain responses. The very short pulse duration of high voltage creates a stimulation which is quite comfortable, and one which most patients can tolerate. The very short pulse duration followed by a very long interpulse interval eliminates the formation of any appreciable chemical or thermal effects in the tissue. High voltage Pulsed Current is used for stimulating nerves and muscles, causing muscle contractions. Examples for clinical use are to treat acute or chronic pain, and increase circulation. Muscle contraction or motor response of isolated muscle groups, superficial or deep, can be easily and comfortably stimulated. For patient comfort and to prevent accommodation, the Burst frequency can be can be varied through modulation.
Although not a continuous type of direct current (DC), HVPC is a pulsed unidirectional currents, which is unique in that it produces a polarity in the tissue. Therefore the end user has the ability to select a polarity of the electrode set up.

Asymmetrical, Symmetrical and Alternating Asymmetrical Biphasic
The biphasic pulsed current family of waveforms are often used in TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve
Stimulation) and NMES applications. These waveforms are characterized by variable phase duration and variable pulse frequency. In an asymmetric biphasic waveform, the typical amplitude, duration, and rate of rise and decay are unequal for each phase with respect to the baseline, however the waveform is fully balanced, i.e. the phase charges of each phase are equal.
A variation to the standard biphasic asymmetrical pulsed current is the alternating one, in which the successive pulse phases alternate with respect to the baseline.
The symmetrical biphasic mode provides the same amplitude, duration, and rate of rise and decay for both the positive and negative phase of the waveform. This is often used to stimulate larger muscle as both phases have equal intensity.
To prevent accommodation to stimulation or to improve patient tolerance, the pulse duration can be varied through modulation.
Parameters:
• Phase Duration , expressed in µs, is the elapsed time from the beginning to the end of one phase of a pulse.
• Interphase interval, is the duration between two consecutive components of a pulse where no electrical activity occurs.
• Pulse duration, is the time from all the phases of a pulse and interphase interval (expressed in µ sec)
• Interpulse interval – the time between two successive pulses.
• Pulse Frequency , expressed in Hz or pps (pulses per second), defines the repetition rate of the biphasic pulses.
• Phase Duration Modulation , expressed in percentage, defines a variable phase duration range that can be swept between the upper and lower limit over a variable time.
• Rate Scan, expressed as a percentage sets the fluctuating Phase Duration range.
• Rate Scan Time, is the duration or how long it takes to cycle through the modulation upper and lower limit range during Phase Duration Modulation
Burst Symmetrical
The burst biphasic symmetrical pulsed current is a variation to its non-burst counterpart, in which the continuous train of pulses is interrupted by pulse pauses. A burst frequency can be set for motor stimulation, where the use of continuous stimulation with a low pulse frequency would be too painful. Each burst lasts for 100ms and the burst rate can separately be adjusted. With this milder LVPC waveform, it is easier to exceed the motor threshold stimulus.
PENS uses an asymmetric biphasic waveform. The typical amplitude, duration, and rate of rise and decay are unequal for each phase with respect to the baseline, however the waveform is fully balanced (i.e. the phase charges of each phase are equal). A narrow pulse duration is used (70 µ sec) to avoid stimulating nociceptors. The two channels are timed and modulated to replicate basic EMG and functional EMG patterns for neuromuscular reeducation and treatment of muscle disuse atrophy.

HVPC Sensory
This protocol combines subthermal therapeutic ultrasound with high volt pulsed current (HVPC) electrical stimulation current at a sensory (100 Hz) frequency for 1) superficial pain reduction and 2) increase local circulation to targeted tissue area. Sensory current stimulates vasodilation, increasing local circulation. Application of negative polarity over the edematous site has been demonstrated to reduce post-traumatic edema in clinical trials. In addition, if pain is present, can reduce it via segmental pain modulation mechanisms. Therapeutic ultrasound can resolve post-traumatic edema, reduce pain and facilitate tissue healing.
Duration of relief is typically for several hours. Fast onset of relief usually happens within 15-20 minutes. Target tissue is superficial and deep. Application; Monopolar, using channel B, place the red (positive) electrode adjacent to the treatment area. The ultrasound transducer is the black (-) electrode. The intensity should be set to elicit a pleasant tingling sensation, just below a muscle contraction.

Ultrasound Optimizer
The OmniVersa scans the resonance frequency of the crystal and re-sets the frequency of the units to calibrate with the frequency to the crystal.
This is done automatically by the system software when the transducer is put in and when turning on the unit.
If there is any question that the crystal isn’t functioning properly (rare occurrence), a manual optimization option exists in the maintenance section of system settings.
Select “Optimize US Applicator C” or “Optimize US
Applicator D”, depending on into which channel the replacement transducer has been inserted, the Optimize
US Applicator screen will appear. Pressing “Ok” at the top of the screen will initiate the optimization process, which only takes a few minutes.
While the optimization process is in progress, the screen will show an Orange bar indicating the percentage of completion. Upon full completion of the optimization process, the line will be Green and say

Electromagnetic environment - guidelines
Portable and mobile radios should not be used any closer to the OmniVersa, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the transmission frequency.
Recommended separation distance: d= 1.2 √P d= 0.35 √P for 80 MHz to 800 MHz d= 0,7 √P for 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz
Where P is the rated power of the transmitter in
Watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m).
According to an investigation in situ a , the field strength of stationary radio transmitters should be less than the compliance level at all frequencies.
Interference may occur in the vicinity of
OmniVersa™ which is marked with the following symbol:
NOTE: 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz the higher frequency range is applicable.
NOTE: 2 These guidelines may not be applicable in all cases. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. a Theoretically, it is not possible to exactly predict the field strengths of fixed transmitters such as base stations for radio telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio stations, AM and FM radio and TV broadcasting. To determine the electromagnetic environment in relation to the fixed transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location where the b
OmniVersa is to be used exceeds the above compliance levels, the OmniVersa should be monitored in order to ensure that it is functioning as intended. If unusual features are noticed, additional measures may be necessary such as re-orienting or relocating the OmniVersa.
Above the frequency range from 150 kHz to 80 MHz the field strength should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF telecommunications and the OmniVersa
