NOTE
The ShockMaster has to be used in conjunction with intended components and accessories.
For information regarding the use of the R-SW and V-Actor hand piece as well as the
compressor component please refer to the accompanying separate operation manuals.
1.2 Intended use
The ShockMaster is a compressed air operated ballistic shockwave generator featuring high-
precision ballistic components in its applicator for shockwave generation. The motion and
weight of the projectile accelerated by compressed air produce kinetic energy that is converted
into sound energy when the projectile strikes an immovable surface (shock transmitter). This
acoustic pulse is transmitted to the target tissue directly as well as by means of an acoustic
impedance adapter (shockwave coupling cushion) or gel. These waves are physically classified
as radial pressure waves. The applied pressure pulse propagates radial within the tissue and
has a therapeutic effect on areas of the tissue near the surface, in particular.
The ShockMaster is dedicated for physical and biomechanical muscle therapy / shockwave
therapy by treating myofascial trigger points and tendon insertions. Furthermore, the
ShockMaster is intended to be used for therapeutic activation of muscle and connective tissue
as well as for acupuncture shock wave therapy.

Version 412 of 2018-04-16 7
NOTE
Medical devices operating on the basis of the above principle are generally referred to as
extracorporeal shockwave devices in modern medical literature.
Applications1.2.1
The ShockMaster is designed for extracorporeal treatment by means of low- to medium-energy
radial shockwaves in the following fields of application:
Biomechanical therapy
Myofascial trigger points (MTrP)
Disorder of tendon insertions
Activation of muscle and connective tissue
Acupuncture shockwave therapy
Qualified training in acupuncture and acupuncture shockwave therapy (AcuST) is required for
therapeutic application of the ShockMaster in the field of acupuncture.
A sound knowledge of trigger point therapy and trigger point shockwave therapy (TrST) is
required for therapeutic application of the ShockMaster in the field of trigger point shockwave
therapy.
