In exceptional circumstances the treatment time is limited to 4 minutes followed
by a break of at least 15 minutes.
The handpiece can overheat if the treatment time is exceeded.
Treatment instructions regarding treatment location, duration and intensity
require medical knowledge and may only be given by authorised physicians,
therapists and medical paraprofessionals. These instructions must be followed.
The patient must not be left unattended during treatment.
Persons undergoing simultaneous treatment with reduction and/or alteration of
blood clotting or a prolongation of clotting time (e.g. acetylsalicylic acid) should
consult their therapist about a possible discontinuation of this treatment as the
use of radial shock waves can readily lead to increased bleeding and bruising
in these patients.
Shock waves are strongly scattered in air-filled areas and produce reflections
that can have negative effects.
Direct treatments should therefore not be performed above the lungs
(intercostal space)
and gastrointestinal area.
Use in wet areas is not permitted and may in case of non-compliance lead to
considerable damage and endanger both the patient and the user.
