    The device consists of three units: the main unit, the compressor unit and the applicator. Main system – BTL- 5000 unit, which includes the main microcomputer and software for control of the whole equipment, including user encyclopaedia and the therapy guide.
  • Page 7: Shockwave Generation

    Several types of generators were developed for the shockwave therapy, providing shockwaves with varied characteristics. Shockwaves in their time span and spatial arrangement carry the imprint of the generation method. The BTL 5000 SWT uses the ballistic principle of the shockwave generation. 1.3.1 BALLISTIC PRINCIPLE OF THE SHOCKWAVE GENERATION A pressure wave is formed via a projectile by accelerated compressed air, which is generated by an electronically controlled ballistic-pressure compressor.

    Cooling of the equipment is provided for by forced air circulation. Cooling vents are located on the rear panel and at the bottom of the BTL-5000 SWT and must not be covered. Do not position the device on a soft surface as it may obstruct the air flow to the bottom cooling vents.

  • Page 14: Operating The Device

    Selected channel The BTL -5000 SWT Series allows the connection of up to two applicators, but only one can be active. Only one so-called "selected channel" can be operated at a time. The selected channel has a light tab. All information on the screen and all control elements relate to this channel.
  • Page 15: Numeric Keypad

    The BTL 5000 SWT does not allow the use of two applicators at the same time. Each applicator can contain a different transmission item, differing in its size. This brings the advantage of applicability for two different therapies without the need to change the transmission elements.
