BTL-6000 MICROWAVE – USER’S MANUAL | PAGE 4 OF 32

 1 BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE
The BTL-6000 Microwave is a microwave diathermy device for use in applying therapeutic deep heat. The device
applies to specific areas of the body electromagnetic energy in the microwave frequency bands and that is
intended to generate deep heat within body tissues.

The BTL-6000 Microwave consists of main parts: main unit and the applicators.

1. The Main unit consists of the control system and the electronic system. The control system contains the
main microcomputer and software for control of the entire equipment. The electronic system contains the
complete electronics for generation of microwave field.

2. Applicators - the device can be used with four types of applicators - Large field radiator, Long radiator,
Spot radiator and Contact radiator.

1.1 HEAT EFFECT

The evaluation of the heat effect of applicators on the basis of the subjective heat sensation by the patient is
strongly influenced by a number of factors. For example, blood circulation, the temperature of the skin, the
thickness of the fat layers and whether the treatment is done through bandages can all affect the patient’s
sensation of heat.

1.2 CHARACTERISTIC OF MICROWAVE THERAPY

The term diathermy means electrically induced heat - the use of high-frequency electromagnetic currents as
a form of physical or occupational therapy and in surgical procedures. The term diathermy is derived from the
Greek words dia and therma, and literally means “heating through.” adj., adj diather´mal, diather´mic.

Diathermy, whether achieved using short-wave radio frequency (range 1–100 MHz) or microwave energy
(typically 915 MHz or 2.46 GHz). BTL-6000 Microwave device is based on frequency 2.46 GHz.

1.3 INTENDED USE

BTL-6000 Microwave is a physical therapy modality used for the thermal treatment of body parts by means of
endogenously generated stimulation of physiological processes. The therapy can be performed in both the
continuous as well as pulsed modes of operation and, thus, it is very suitable for a lot of applications in hospitals
and doctor's consulting rooms. The endogenously generated heat releases quite a number of physiologic
processes by which, for instance, muscles, tendons and other connective tissues are spasmodically influenced,
the cell metabolism and enzyme reaction speeds are increased and the blood circulation is supported within the
area treated. The field of application is extended by the pulsed operation for the treatment of acute inflammatory
processes. The device is intended to be used for adult patients.

1.4 PATIENT PROFILE

The patient must not show any signs of the conditions defined in Chapter Contraindications. Before the
application it is necessary to take the patient’s medical history and make a thorough examination to determine
whether or not the application of physical therapy is suitable for the patient.

2.2 APPLICATORS AND THEIR USE

Large field radiator Spot radiator

Long radiator Contact radiator

Spot radiator enables greater depth effects to be obtained over smaller areas. It is the most universal and
therefore most used radiator.

Long radiator is designed for the treatment of the extremities.

The Large field radiator is used for treating large areas of the body. The form of the radiator is adapted to the
contours of the body. This is very suitable for treating isolated areas such as the shoulder or knee joint, as well as
larger muscle groups in the back and shoulder regions.

Contact radiator is developed for treatment of small areas and for ENT treatments. When applying on the facial
area, have the patient wear special protective glasses! Do not apply the treatment over the glasses!

Always place the radiator aiming on the treated body part few centimetres from the skin, so you minimize the
irradiation of other parts of the body.

These applicators are used to gently heat patient tissue. In general, the patient is awake during this treatment and
able to comment if the heating causes discomfort or pain.

Do not use other than Contact radiator in the head area! In the head area never use power more than
7 W for more than 5 minutes.

2.3 ARM
The applicator arm comprises of 3 knobs for adjusting and fixing the arm position (17), 2 rotary joints (360°) for
adjusting the applicator position (16), 1 rotary joint (180° on the middle knob) for adjusting the arm position and
cable holder.

Caution:
When loosening the control knobs while handling the arm, always hold the arm in one hand and loosen the knob
with the other. This will prevent the injury to the user or patient and/or damage to the arms in case of over-
loosening.

Before the start of therapy, always make sure that the control knobs are firmly tightened to prevent the arm from
moving during therapy.

BTL-6000 MICROWAVE – USER’S MANUAL | PAGE 8 OF 32

2.4 NEON CHECK LIGHT
The neon check-light makes sure that the microwave energy is “really on”. If such energy is being transmitted, the
indicator lights up. If the initial energy is not on or is set too low, the indicator will not light up.

2.5 ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP

Inspect the box for damage and report any damage to the transport carrier and to the distributor. Do not proceed
with assembly and set-up if the box is damaged. Keep the original box and packaging to ensure safe future
transport and storage of the device.
