Metron Accusonic 1MHz Ultrasound unit

The Metron Accusonic therapeutic ultrasound unit offers 1 MHz ultrasound through a detatchable 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.
For instance:
- If durnig the treatment, insufficient contact occurs, the nthe 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 technicians involvement.
- Communicates with the transducer to correctly monitor and control frequncy and contact sensing.
| Ultrasound Output | |
| Frequency | 1.1 MHz +/- 10% |
| Output Power In | 2.4 Watts/cm2 +/- 20% maximum continuous mode (Equivalent to 15 watts absolute) |
| Beam Non-Uniformity Ratio | Normally 5:1 +/- 20% |
| Effective Radiating Area | Nominally 5.0 square cms +/- 20% |
| Ultrasound Modulation | |
| Modulation modes | Continuous or pulsed |
| Pulsed Modulation | |
| Pulse Frequency | 100 MHz +/- 2% |
| Pulse period | 10 milliseconds +/- 2% |
| Pulse width | 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 milliseconds +/- 2% |
| Pulse duty cycle | 1:9 (10%), 1:4 (20%), 1:1 (50%) respectively +/- 2% |
| Treatment Timer | |
| Maximum treatment time | 30 minutes +/- 2% |
| At time expiration | time display shows zero and two seconds audible alarm sounds |
| Contact Control | |
| Function | To detect poor acoustic coupling between the treatment applicator and the patient. At detection of contact loss the indicator on the applicator illuminates red and after one second the treatment timer is halted, the treatment time display flashes and the ultrasonic output power is reduced from that selected to 0.2 watts/cm2. On contact detection the treatment timer is restarted and the ultrasonic output power is restored to the selected value. |
| Purpose/Rationale | To ensure the patient receives the required ultrasound dose and to prevent damage to the untrasonic treatment applicator by heat generated in the ultrasonic transducer if it was operated unloaded. |
| Electrical Safety Manufactured to Australian standards |
