I-Tech Powersonic: certified ultrasound therapy device with rechargeable battery
The I-Tech Powersonic is the only certified ultrasound therapy device in the CardioVibe range that can be used both cordlessly and mains-powered thanks to its integrated rechargeable battery. The handy system was specially developed for supportive use on the musculoskeletal system and is suitable for both professional use in physiotherapy practices and for supportive use at home.
In physical therapy, ultrasound waves are valued for their mechanical and thermal properties. Scientific literature describes potential local tissue effects in this context. Please note that individual reactions to the treatment may vary. Use should always be in accordance with the instructions for use and after consulting a doctor.
The only cordless medical device in the ultrasound range
Compared to other ultrasound devices for home use, the Powersonic has a clear unique selling point: It is a certified medical device and can also be used cordlessly - no other device in our range offers this combination.
- The identical Wepere Restart is designed for sports, recovery, and wellness, but is not a certified medical device and is therefore not intended for medically indicated use.
- The I-Tech Mio-Sonic is also a medical device, but exclusively mains-powered - without the freedom of movement provided by battery operation.
- The Powersonic combines both: the regulatory safety of a medical device with the unrestricted flexibility of a battery-powered device.
If you do not need a certified medical device, but rather a more affordable device for pure sports and wellness use, the Wepere Restart may be the more suitable, more affordable choice. You can find a comparison of all home devices in the article Ultrasound home devices compared.
Maximum ease of use for mobile sports physiotherapy
The Powersonic stands out for its intuitive operation. Especially in sports physiotherapy, the battery operation offers crucial advantages: Without being dependent on a power outlet, the device can be used directly during training, at competitions, or at training camps - both by trained professionals and for self-application after instruction.
Technical specifications at a glance
| Manufacturer | I.A.C.E.R. Srl (I-Tech Medical Division) |
| Frequency | 1 MHz |
| Maximum power | 6.4 W when mains-powered / 3.2 W when battery-powered |
| Maximum intensity on the skin surface | 1.6 W/cm² when mains-powered / 0.8 W/cm² when battery-powered |
| Intensity levels | 3 (low, medium, high) |
| Time settings | 5, 10, 15 minutes |
| Predefined programs | 13 |
| Application method | external use only, not for immersion |
| Medical device | yes, certified |
Note on power: When battery-powered, the Powersonic has half the power of mains operation (3.2 W instead of 6.4 W). This is sufficient for most applications on the musculoskeletal system; if maximum intensity is required, operation with the power supply is recommended.
Principle of action and application instructions
Ultrasound therapy is an established method in physical medicine. During treatment, high-frequency sound waves penetrate the affected tissue layers and transfer kinetic energy there. Scientific publications describe, among other things, mechanical micro-massage effects as well as moderate heat generation in the tissue. The exact duration and intensity of treatment should be individually coordinated with a doctor or a therapeutic professional.
In addition, ultrasound technology is used in cosmetic devices, for example to support the absorption of skincare ingredients. It should be noted that cosmetic applications do not replace a medical diagnosis or therapy.
Phonophoresis: supporting active ingredients with ultrasound
In physiotherapy, the combination of ultrasound with a suitable gel or active ingredient carrier is referred to as phonophoresis (also called sonophoresis). In this process, a contact medium applied to the skin is driven into deeper tissue layers by the ultrasound waves. Thanks to its 3 intensity levels and selectable treatment times, the Powersonic is generally suitable for this type of application. The choice of a suitable active ingredient carrier and the specific application should always be coordinated with therapeutic professionals - the Powersonic itself does not replace professional advice and makes no statement about the effectiveness of individual active ingredients.
Programs and individual settings
The I-Tech Powersonic offers versatile configuration options for targeted application:
- Time settings: Selectable between 5, 10, and 15 minutes, suitable for the size of the area to be treated.
-
Intensity levels: Low, medium, and high. The lowest level is recommended for superficial bone structures or sensitive areas.
- Low: Pulsed delivery (Duty Cycle 10 %)
- Medium: Pulsed delivery (Duty Cycle 50 %)
- High: Continuous ultrasound delivery (100 %)
The device has 13 predefined program combinations (time + intensity), which are listed in the manual for guidance:
- Support for myofascial complaints
- Application in the lower back area
- Supportive use for ulnar nerve syndrome
- Support for muscular complaints
- Supportive use for joint wear (osteoarthritis)
- Application for lumbar stenosis
- Support for carpal tunnel syndrome
- Application for epicondylitis
- Supportive use for sciatica
- Application for venous tissue changes
- Application for pressure sores
- Support for tennis elbow
- Application for tendinopathies (tendon complaints)
Note: The program names are used to assign technical parameters and do not represent promises of healing. The application should always follow professional recommendations.
Important note: Home ultrasound therapy does not replace a medical diagnosis. In case of acute pain or unclear symptoms, please consult medical professionals.
