39、ysiotherapy. Such equipment consists of a generator of high frequency electrical energy and usually a hand-held treatment head, often referred to as an applicator. The treatment head contains a transducer, usually a disk of piezoelectric material, for converting the electrical energy to ultrasound a
40、nd is often designed for contact with the human body. BS EN 61689:201361689 IEC:2013 7 ULTRASONICS PHYSIOTHERAPY SYSTEMS FIELD SPECIFICATIONS AND METHODS OF MEASUREMENT IN THE FREQUENCY RANGE 0,5 MHz TO 5 MHz 1 Scope This International Standard is applicable to ultrasonic equipment designed for phys
41、iotherapy containing an ultrasonic transducer generating continuous or quasi-continuous wave ultrasound in the frequency range 0,5 MHz to 5 MHz. This standard only relates to ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment employing a single plane non-focusing circular transducer per treatment head, producing st
42、atic beams perpendicular to the face of the treatment head. This standard specifies: methods of measurement and characterization of the output of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment based on reference testing methods; characteristics to be specified by manufacturers of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipm
43、ent based on reference testing methods; guidelines for safety of the ultrasonic field generated by ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment; methods of measurement and characterization of the output of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment based on routine testing methods; acceptance criteria for aspects of
44、the output of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment based on routine testing methods. Therapeutic value and methods of use of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment are not covered by the scope of this standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced

NOTE SI units (see IS
48、O/IEC Directives Part 2:2011, Annex I b) are used in the Notes to entry below certain parameter definitions for defining certain parameters, such as beam areas and intensities. It may be convenient to use decimal multiples or submultiples in practice but care should be taken in using decimal prefixe
49、s in combination with units when using and calculating numerical data. For example, beam area may be specified in cm2and intensities in W/cm2or mW/cm2. 3.1 absolute maximum rated output power sum of the rated output power, the 95 % confidence overall uncertainty in the rated output power, and the maximum increase in the rated output power for a 10 % variation in the rated value of the mains voltage Note 1 to entry: The p
