WARNING !

Incorrect handling of the device.

Possibility of injuries to the person to be treated and the
operating personnel!
Read this operating manual carefully before you start using the
handpiece D-ACTOR.
Read also the separate operating manual for your control device

 1 System description

1.1 Handpiece
Radial, low-energy pulses (D-ACTOR) are administered into the body by means of
a freely movable handpiece, and encompass the entire pain zone. Radial pulses are
often also referred to as radial pressure waves – which is indeed physically correct. The
handpiece is placed on the pain zone that has been established by diagnosis.

Put the handpiece into operation.

Set the energy level to 2 bar.

Reset the treatment pulse counter. on the display of the handpiece.

Release individual pulses in single pulse mode.

Release pulses in continuous pulse mode (pulse frequency 5 Hz/15 Hz).

Check that the triggered pulses are correctly counted on the treatment pulse counter.

3.6 Standard settings

20 Before each treatment, make sure that the number of pulses and the actual energy
value are set to zero.

NOTE
Set the nominal value counter to the required value. The '-' symbol appears if zero

Start the D-ACTOR treatment at a pressure of 2 bar and a frequency of 5 Hz.

NOTE

The pulse frequency beginning with 1 Hz and also the energy level beginning with
1.0 bar can be increased in steps up to maximum value depending on the control
device.

3.7.1 Safety information

Before using the device, the user must make sure it is functioning safely and in proper
condition.
Each time after the device has been transported, make sure that all functional
checks have been performed on the device before you start treatment. Read about
this in chapter 3.5 functiOnal checkS.

CAUTION !

Handpiece not positioned correctly.

Impairment to health due to ineffective treatment!

position always corresponds to the treatment zone.

Make sure that the treatment is only administered by users
authorized for this purpose. (For the conditions please read the
operating manual of your control device.)

chapter general Safety infOrMatiOn in the operating manual of your control device
is not permitted!

21
CAUTION !

Malfunction of the device or its components

Various injuries are possible!
Immediately comply with all status and error messages which
appear during the treatment.

CAUTION!

Over extended periods, the noise of the pulses can be per-

ceived as unpleasant!
Offer ear protection to the person to be treated.
Recommendation: The user should also wear ear protection.
Operation

19 920 02 0614
 3.7.2 Setting parameters
Treatment should always start at a low energy level. This also applies to resuming
treatment after an interruption. The pulse energy should be increased gradually
during treatment. The low levels are used less for therapy and more for familiarising
the person to be treated.
Select a low energy level and frequency
OR
Load an indication and administer the treatment according to the
recommendations of the treatment parameters stored in the system)

NOTE

The selection of energy levels is based on the opinion of the operator adminis-
tering treatment. The maximum energy level used during treatment must not
cause the person to be treated undue pain under any circumstances.

4 Cleaning, Maintenance, Overhaul

4.1 Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures perfect hygiene and operation of the D-ACTOR handpiece.
The handpiece, in particular the transmitter, must be thoroughly cleaned and disin-
fected after each therapy session.

CAUTION !

Flammable and volatile cleaning and disinfecting agents may

generate an explosive atmosphere.

Disconnect the handpiece from the control unit before starting any
cleaning or maintenance work.

ATTENTION !

Clean the coupling gel off the handpiece using a cleaning agent that is suitable for
surface cleaning.

 4.1.1 Changing the transmitters

NOTE
The handpiece is equipped with a projectile safety catch device in order to prevent the
projectile from being ejected in case a pulse is released while the transmitter and the
transmitter screw cap are removed.
The safety catch is also activated if the transmitter screw cap is not screwed on tightly, if the
sealing ring between the cap and the transmitter is missing or if two sealing rings (old and
new) come together at the rear of the transmitter.

NOTE
The transmitter insert with the D20-S, D20-T and D35-S can only be dismantled
and the sealing rings can only be removed using special tools. You should avoid
doing this because it could result in damage to the transmitter. It is not necessary
for cleaning purposes.

27

Cleaning, Maintenance, Overhaul

It is also recommended that
the transmitter be cleaned and
disinfected in an ultrasonic bath.
For this purpose, use only instrument
disinfectants for heat-sensitive,
reusable devices.

Clean and disinfect not only the transmitter insert but also the transmitter screw
cap with the usual alcohol-based cleaning agents and disinfectants.

Dry the transmitter and transmitter screw cap before screwing them together.

4.2 Overhaul
Pulses are generated mechanically. Due to the effects of friction, the handpiece com-
ponents are continuously exposed to mechanical stress, which will cause minor wear.

NOTE
The D-ACTOR handpiece should be overhauled about every 1,000,000 pulses.
This can be done quickly and easily by the user of the device. All that is required is
the overhaul kit, which includes all required wear parts.

4.2.1 Contents of the D-ACTOR overhaul kit

28
– 2 projectiles
– 2 guide tubes
– 2 socket sealing rings
– 1 O-ring guide

The overhaul kit can be ordered from your dealer quoting part number 17212.
Cleaning, Maintenance, Overhaul

NOTE
The sealing rings, the projectile and the guide tube must always be replaced each
time the handpiece is overhauled. Observe the O-ring Guide when selecting the
sealing rings to be used. It is contained in the overhaul kit.

4.2.2 Overhauling the handpiece

CAUTION !

Flammable and volatile cleaning and disinfecting agents may

generate an explosive atmosphere.

Disconnect the handpiece from the control unit before starting any
cleaning or maintenance work.

ATTENTION !
An open-end spanner has to be used to release or to assemble handpiece
shaft when overhauling the handpiece.

Place the handpiece on a dry, clean and dust-free surface.
