of this system.
The device is a compressed air-operated ballistic shock wave generator. The shock waves in the device are generated with a
precision ballistic mechanism in the handpiece. A projectile is accelerated by compressed air. The motion and weight of the projectile
produce kinetic energy. When the projectile impacts against an immovable surface, the shock transmitter, this kinetic energy is
converted into sound energy. This acoustic pulse is transmitted into the tissue to be treated directly with the help of a gel.
These waves are physically classified as radial pressure waves. The applied pressure pulse propagates radially within the tissue and
has a therapeutic effect on areas of the tissue near the surface, in particular.
NOTE
Medical devices operating on the basis of the above principle are generally referred to as radial shock wave systems in modern
medical literature.
CAUTION
Rx only :
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a practitioner licensed by the law of the State in which
he/she practises to use or order the use of the device.
