In the extreme case, the maximum treatment time is limited to 4 min followed
by a break of at least 15 min.
If the treatment time is exceeded, the handpiece may overheat.
Users of the enPulsPro shockwave treatment device must be instructed in the
proper use of the system and have the appropriate knowledge.
Treatment instructions pertaining to the location, duration and intensity of
treatment require medical knowledge and may only be given by licensed
physicians, therapists and members of the medical auxiliary professions .
These instructions must be followed without fail.
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 a health care professional about a possible discontinuation of this
treatment as the use of radial shock waves can readily lead to increased
bleeding and bruising.
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; this may result in considerable damage and
endanger both the patient and the user.
Under certain circumstances, the treatment time is limited to 4 min and a 5
minute break. If this cycle is exceeded, the handpiece can overheat.
