| Description:
The Metron Accusonic therapeutic ultrasound offers 1 MHz ultrasound through a detachable applicator.
Microprocessor technology has been used to make the Accusonic compact and easy to use. This technology has allowed a number of useful features to be presented in the Accusonic. Features:
- If during the treatment, insufficient contact occurs, then the treatment timer will stop, and the ultrasound output is reduced. Once sufficient contact is detected, then treatment will continue
- The internal service software runs the calibration procedures, minimising the technician's involvement
- Communicates with the transducer to correctly monitor and control frequency and contact sensing
