Tips for buying Ultrasound Therapy System

- Facilities can select a tabletop, wall mounted, or cart mounted therapeutic ultrasound unit.
- To permit user exchange, these systems should have transducers with connectors. The unit should be capable of frequencies at 1 and 3 MHz. It should run in both continuous and pulsed modes.
- Each transducer should have a beam with a non-uniformity ratio of less than 8 and should have a variable pulse rate that falls between 80 and 150 pps.
- Systems equipped with several transducers of various diameters facilitate treatment of different areas of the body. However, there are systems with only one transducer.
- An automatic shutoff function is a preferred feature.
- Configuration, ERA, and maximum power should be based on patient and clinician preference as well as on treatment location.
- If the unit is to be used for off site therapy, some portable devices are available in a carrying case or tote bag.
- Systems with dual frequencies provide a wider range of treatment capabilities.
- To reduce costs, facilities can obtain a combination ultrasound neuromuscular stimulator unit instead of buying separate units. Using these units, facilities can choose therapeutic ultrasound only, neuromuscular stimulation only, or a combination of both.
- Facilities should consider the costs associated with the following: additional transducers, coupling gel, service, and a therapist.
