General safety information
1.1.2 Safety during treatment of the patient
General note:
Organs with gas pockets, especially parts of the lungs, must NOT be exposed to shock
waves.
As it passes through tissue, the shock wave’s energy is slightly reduced; this reduction
is signicantly weakened by the bone structure.
Pulses can result in adverse cardiac reactions. The patient must be continuously
observed during the treatment and attention must be paid to patient reaction. The
patient should not be under anaesthesia.
Only perform treatments approved by STORZ MEDICAL AG!
The user is responsible for correctly positioning the handpieces and suction cup and
correctly selecting the treatment zone.
Air bubbles reduce the effectiveness of shock waves. Therefore, air bubbles must
always be removed from the shock wave path.
Risk of transmission of microorganisms! Disinfect the handpiece after each use! For
information about this, see Chapter 6 Cleaning, MaintenanCe, Overhaul.
Treatment with the suction cup must be limited to 30 minutes.
