GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE | PAGE 5 OF 47
1GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE
The BTL -5000 SWT Series is a modern device enabling the application of therapies by using no invasive
shockwaves. Shockwaves are one of the most effective ways of treatment of pain connected to the
musculoskeletal system. Today, this is the second most frequent reason of absence from work.
The devices are equipped with a colour touch screen on the main unit, and considerably simplifies the use of the
device. The touch screen is equipped with a touch pen for easy operation of the device. A vertically positioned
device enables you to see the information on the screen clearly from different servicing positions. In addition, the
brightness of the display can be adjusted to suit the light conditions in the office or the health centre. The
information displayed on the screen will guide you throughout the whole therapy, simply adjust the parameters by
pressing the touch screen buttons and turning the knobs on the device.
Selecting a diagnosis from a list of alphabetically organized treatment protocols, or selecting a program, will make
an easy and efficient start to the therapy. You can adjust any treatment parameter manually by the simple use of
the touch screen buttons. Throughout the whole therapy, the device informs you about the therapeutical method
used, type of treatment, number of applied shocks, total and remaining shocks, frequency used, intensity and
other necessary data.
Save your time by using the predefined programs of the main unit. Based on detailed research and practical use
of the device, the well-organized predefined protocols will present recommendations for treatment of various
conditions.
The BTL- 5000 SWT allows you to insert the names of your clients and other relevant information into the internal
memory of the device and connect the client data with predefined or your own protocols. When your clients call
again, simply recall their name and apply the pre-set therapy.
With every BTL-5000 SWT you can purchase a trolley specially designed for the BTL products. Its design offers
maximum comfort of storage and use of the device. Four steady wheels provide simple movement of the device in
the office or the health care centre.
The trolley includes a range of accessory containers and baskets.
