Device type (GMDN): Short-wave diathermy treatment system generator

A component of a short-wave therapeutic diathermy system designed to generate electromagnetic (EM) energy in the radio-frequency (RF) bands of 13 megahertz (MHz) to 27.12 MHz applied transcutaneously to provide a deep heat within specific volumes of the body. The energy generated by this device is typically conducted using electrodes placed on the patient's skin across the area to be treated; the energy is passed between the electrode poles to treat pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures.
