01Screen, document, and individualize
Have an appropriately qualified clinician determine suitability and the basis for a session plan. Record the client’s relevant history, consent, supervision arrangements, and criteria for stopping or referring. A published study is not a ready-made client protocol.
02Make the operating role explicit
Define who prepares the equipment, observes the session, records the response, and handles an unexpected event. Confirm staff competency and the final equipment’s monitoring, alarms, and instructions before offering sessions.
03Plan hygiene between clients
Identify which accessories are single-use, assigned to one client, or approved for reuse. Follow the manufacturer’s validated reprocessing instructions and applicable infection-control guidance. Cleaning products and turnaround time depend on the actual components.

Include staff time, cleaning, consumables, maintenance, and downtime in your business case. Confirm delivery, training, service coverage, and replacement-part availability. Equipment price alone cannot establish payback.
Build a complete cost picture ↗ Clear expectations are part of a premium service. Explain the method, its evidence limits, and the client’s plan without guaranteeing a health outcome or a return on investment.
