Description
Legend XT 10 cm2 Sound Head – Chattanooga 27384
The Intelect Legend XT 10 cm2 Sound Head, Chattanooga Product Number 27384, is a replacement therapeutic ultrasound applicator designed for compatible Chattanooga Intelect Legend XT and original Intelect Transport ultrasound systems.
This 10 cm² applicator is the largest size in the compatible sound head range, providing an alternative to the standard 5 cm² applicator when a larger head is appropriate for the clinical application.
Compatible Intelect Legend XT Units
This replacement applicator fits Legend XT combination systems equipped with therapeutic ultrasound, including:
- 2760 – Intelect Legend XT 2-Channel Combination
- 2788 – Intelect Legend XT 4-Channel Combination
- 2791 – Intelect Legend XT 2-Channel Combination with Cart
- 2795 – Intelect Legend XT 4-Channel Combination with Cart
Electrotherapy-only systems do not provide an ultrasound output and cannot operate this applicator.
Also Compatible with Original Intelect Transport
This sound head also fits compatible original Intelect Transport systems:
- 2782 – Intelect Transport Ultrasound
- 2738 – Intelect Transport Combination
Check the model number on your equipment before ordering, particularly when identifying an older Transport unit.
What Does the Sound Head Do?
The applicator converts electrical energy from the therapy system into high-frequency mechanical sound waves for therapeutic ultrasound treatment.
A suitable coupling medium provides the connection between the applicator and the treatment surface. Treatment settings and application technique should follow the equipment’s operating instructions and the treating clinician’s protocol.
10 cm² Applicator Size
Chattanooga offered four applicator sizes for compatible Legend XT and original Transport systems:
- 27381 – 1 cm² Sound Head
- 27382 – 2 cm² Sound Head
- 27383 – 5 cm² Sound Head
- 27384 – 10 cm² Sound Head
The 5 cm² applicator is the standard general-purpose size. The 10 cm² version offers a larger applicator option; selection depends on the treatment area and clinical application.
This listing is for the 10 cm² applicator only.
Dual-Frequency Ultrasound – 1 and 3.3 MHz
This replacement sound head supports the dual-frequency capabilities of compatible therapy systems:
- 1 MHz ultrasound
- 3.3 MHz ultrasound
Compatible Legend XT systems offer continuous and pulsed ultrasound operation. Frequency, intensity, duty cycle, and treatment duration are selected through the therapy unit.
Waterproof Sound Head
The applicator features waterproof construction. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and any permitted underwater treatment techniques.
Inspect the applicator face, housing, and cable regularly. Waterproof construction does not eliminate the need to check for wear or physical damage.
Pre-Calibrated Replacement Applicator
The sound head is supplied pre-calibrated for use with compatible equipment.
Sound Head Warming Feature
Compatible Legend XT systems include a head-warming setting that warms the applicator before treatment. This feature is controlled through the therapy unit.
When Should an Intelect Legend XT 10 cm2 Sound Head Ultrasound Sound Head Be Replaced?
An applicator may require inspection, calibration, repair, or replacement if you notice:
- Intermittent operation or ultrasound output errors
- Treatment stopping when the cable moves
- Frayed or damaged cables
- Cracks in the housing or damage to the applicator face
- Applicator recognition errors
- Failure to meet calibration requirements
- Failure of the Head Warming System
These symptoms do not always mean a new sound head is needed. Evaluation can help determine whether the problem involves the applicator, cable, or therapy unit.
Important Compatibility Information
The Intelect Legend XT 10 cm2 Sound Head is intended for compatible Legend XT and original Intelect Transport ultrasound systems.
Other Chattanooga equipment generations use different applicators, including:
- Original beige Intelect Legend
- Vectra Genisys
- Intelect Legend 2
- Intelect Transport 2
Confirm your model before ordering rather than selecting a replacement by appearance alone.
Ultrasound Gel Required
For direct-contact treatment, use an appropriate ultrasound coupling gel according to the equipment’s operating instructions. The coupling medium reduces the air gap between the applicator and the skin so ultrasound energy can transfer into the treatment area.
