Product description The PiezoWave2 is a compact extracorporeal shockwave therapy device that en- ables treatment with piezoelectric shockwaves. The PiezoWave2 features a sim- ple and intuitive user interface which allows the key treatment parameters to be set quickly and easily.
Intended purpose Control units for extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) sources 100506 PiezoWave2 Control Unit Active and reusable control units for extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) sources are used for short (under 60 minutes), non-invasive interventions. The products are used for controlling compatible piezoelectric therapy sources.
Indications The product is used in the disciplines of orthopedics, dermatology, and urology for extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and trigger point shockwave ther- apy (TPST). Patient group For urology applications, use is restricted to male patients aged 14 or older. There is no restriction regarding ethnicity, height, weight, or other general condi- tions.
Contraindications and side effects Contraindications When using the products, the following general contraindications must be taken into account: Infections in focus Lungs in focus Environment of a pacemaker Arterial hypertension Clotting disorders (the patient’s coagulation status is required) or treatment with blood-thinning drugs Brain or nerves in focus (central nervous system) The following contraindications must be taken into account for use in urology:...
Side effects The following side effects must be taken into account for use in urology: Slight pain and petechiae. There is a possibility of short-term hematospermia (bloody semen), hematuria (reddish tinted urine), acute bacterial prostatitis, urinary tract infection, interim uri- nary retention (due to possible swelling of the prostate), or a temporary increase in PSA (prostate-specific antigen).
(such as signal input connectors and signal output connectors for video signals, data exchange, controls) and the patient at the same time. The PiezoWave2 must only be used in conjunction with the therapy sources ap- proved by Richard Wolf and in accordance with the instruction manual of the ther- apy source used.
Requirements for the products / components of a combination The general requirements depend on whether the products/components are inside or outside the pa- tient environment. Medically used room Non-medically Requirements / measures used room within the patient envi- outside the patient Leakage currents to IEC/EN 60601-1 ronment environment...

CAUTION Fire hazard or product damage. Do not cover or block ventilation slots required for cooling. ATTENTION Incorrect operation. Do not operate the devices side by side or stack them with other devices. If it is necessary to stack the devices or place them next to each other and HF interference is observed, make sure that the devices are operated as in- tended.
10.1 Connection 10.1.1 Connecting the footswitch with 3 pedals ¯ Connect the footswitch plug to the socket on the rear panel of the control unit and screw home. 10.1.2 Connecting the therapy source NOTE To prepare the therapy source, observe the instruction manual of the therapy source used.
10.2 Preparation CAUTION Danger of injury from moving device cart. Lock the parking brake before treatment. The parking brake must remain locked during treatment. Lock the parking brakes before and keep them locked when installing/remov- ing the control unit. 10.2.1 Device cart parking brakes The parking brakes on the double casters secure the device cart against rolling.
10.2.3 Installing the control unit on the device cart 1. Carefully lower the control unit onto the top shelf of the device cart. ð Make sure that the feet of the control unit fully engage in the recesses of the top shelf. 2.
