SAM PROFESSIONAL

sam® Professional is an FDA-cleared bio-regenerative medical device that reduces the pain associated with tendon, ligament or muscle injuries and eliminates chronic pain without the use of prescription pain medication.

​

sam® Professional provides low intensity ultrasonic waves that penetrate 5 cm into the tissue. This increases circulation, oxygen and nutrient delivery, and the removal of waste products, such as lactic acid, from the site of a musculoskeletal injury.  Patients wear the sam® Professional up to four hours per day, for at home or work.

HOW IT WORKS

sam® Professional delivers 18,700 joules of energy per treatment, outperforming therapeutic ultrasound that can only be used in a clinic and is typically applied for less than 10 minutes. (1,500 joules of energy)

INSURANCE COVERAGE

No Fault and Personal Injury Patients

sam® Professional is covered by most no fault personal injury carriers to help accelerate healing and reduce or eliminate chronic pain without the use of prescription pain medication.

 

sam® Professional has been endorsed by a number of leading healthcare providers and is used by a wide range of patients – from individuals working in labor-intensive jobs to others experiencing repetitive stress injuries- who seek more effective management of acute or chronic pain.

sam® Professional is the first and only FDA-cleared, wearable low intensity ultrasound for multi-hour treatment.  This is a new treatment form to relieve pain and accelerate recovery of overuse injuries to tendons, ligaments and muscles, to relieve chronic muscle spasms, and to increase local circulation. It offers drug-free pain relief and enhanced recovery by providing long duration ultrasound to the target tissue for up to four hours daily through a portable, wearable and convenient innovative product. sam® Professional is available by prescription.

Warnings

​

  • If the treatment is reported as painful or too hot at any point during treatment, turn off device and remove the device from the skin.

  • Instruct the patient to inform the practitioner if the patient feels any pain or burning during treatment.

  • Instruct the patient how to turn off the sam® Sport device and remove the sam® Sport applicator if the patient feels any pain or burning during treatment.

  • If the Lock Switch is in the locked position it must be placed in the unlocked position to disable the power. Locking the treatment settings is optional and not required for treatment.

  • ALWAYS administer treatment using a new sam® Sport ultrasound coupling patch. Use one sam® Sport ultrasound coupling patch per applicator. Use of the sam® Sport ultrasound applicator without a new sam® Sport ultrasound coupling patch MAY RESULT IN BURN and/or REPEATED SHUTOFF of the sam® Sport applicator.

  • sam® Sport should be kept out of the reach of children.

  • DO NOT apply the sam® Sport applicator with alternative coupling media as a replacement for the sam® Sport ultrasound coupling patch. Use of alternative coupling media in lieu of the sam® Sport ultrasound coupling patches may reduce the effectiveness of treatment, lead to automatic shutoff of the applicator, or cause a burn.

  • DO NOT administer treatment if the applicator is not connected to a sam® Sport ultrasound coupling patch.

  • Applicators and sam® Sport ultrasound coupling patches are not sterile. DO NOT apply this device over an open wound or inflamed skin.

  • Do not use the sam® Sport ultrasound coupling patches if the sam® Sport ultrasound media is dried out. Indications of a dried out patch include: the cup is not full of gel, there is dry residue or film in the cup, or there is any cut, break, or opening in the bandage or seals.

  • DO NOT apply directly over a bone that is near the skin surface.
