The consistency of the gel in the gel pads changes due to heat, cold, direct
sunlight, mechanical damage or natural aging. Therefore, protect the gel pads
from natural environmental influences.
In order to achieve a uniform gel consistency and thus consistent success with
the treatment, always store the gel pads away during breaks in treatment and,
likewise, store away any gel pads not used during therapy. They should be
stored in the intended storage box, protected from direct sunlight and extreme
cold or heat, in a dry environment and not below 1°C and at a maximum of
30°C).
Only use gel pads for therapy that have been stored at room temperature for at
least 2 hours before the therapy.
Do not use visibly damaged gel pads. Replace the gel pads if they are
mechanically damaged or if the consistency has noticeably changed. The gel
pads should be replaced after one year of use, at the latest.
Remove any excess conductive gel from the gel pads and applicator
immediately after therapy has ended.
The applied parts may only come into contact with the patient’s uninjured skin.
Only use the conductive gel that is provided for this purpose and included in the
scope of delivery.
Do not perform therapy without conductive gel and an inserted gel pad.
Otherwise, no focused shock wave will be able to be applied to the patient. The
conductive gel is absolutely necessary for uniform energy transfer.
If the enShock is placed on a foreign equipment trolley or other storage surface,
care must be taken to ensure that it is designed for the maximum device
weight, with accessories, and that the device is positioned stably so that it does
not fall down, including during transport. The handpiece must also be secured
against falling.
