Two energy sources, a 10.4-inch touch screen and a 37.2 kg upright cabinet, make up the ECT+2, a combined magnetic and shockwave therapy unit made by Texua. Its datasheet prints two unheaded groups of rows. One gives a shock frequency of 1,000 to 3,000 Hz, a frequency range of 1 to 100 Hz, 800 W of power and 7 T of energy. The other gives 1 to 21 Hz in 1 Hz steps, 0.5 to 10 bar in 0.5 bar steps and 100 to 9,900 impulses in steps of 100. No applicator list, cooling method, energy flux density or noise level is published.

Both therapies in one floor-standing cabinet dictate the room it needs. A 2024 review put the impulse noise of shockwave machines at about 88 dB on average, so the room needs a closing door and a noise assessment under the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. The magnetic side brings in the Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016, with an exposure assessment and particular care for pregnant staff and those with implanted devices. Both point to a dedicated room with door signage.

The cabinet is listed for 220 V at 50 Hz or 110 V at 60 Hz. The photograph adds a ring applicator on a holder, a gun-style handpiece in a side holder, a thick lead to the ring and castors, none of which the datasheet mentions.

It stands 1035 mm tall on a 500 × 380 mm base. Business buyers in the UK can source the ECT+2 through Medigear.uk. Before ordering, ask the seller which applicators ship, where the 7 T figure applies and which function each frequency row controls, then request the shockwave drive type, operator noise level, handpiece life and the 230 V rating.

Sports medicine clinics, physiotherapy practices, podiatry services and orthopaedic outpatient teams are the likely users, treating chronic tendon and soft tissue problems in the shoulder, elbow, hip and heel. Shockwave work in those areas should follow NICE's special arrangements where they apply, and the case for adding magnetic therapy rests on a single randomised trial in rotator cuff tendinopathy. Most clinics will use both functions alongside a loading or exercise programme.

The room decides how smoothly the service runs. A treatment room with a closing door keeps shockwave noise away from reception, and booking shockwave sessions away from quiet treatments next door helps as well. The employer's field assessment may set a clear zone around the ring, and marking it at the door keeps staff and visitors with pacemakers outside it. The base also needs space beside the couch so that the ring holder and the handpiece lead can reach both sides of the patient.

Patient screening runs through every appointment, covering implanted electronic devices, pregnancy and skin integrity at the treatment site. Records should note the pressure, frequency, impulse count and magnetic settings used, so that another clinician can repeat the session exactly. Staff who take over a patient mid-course then have everything they need on one page.

NHS trusts will route the unit through medical devices management and estates before it reaches a clinic room, and independent clinics should add it to their electrical testing and risk assessment schedules. The manufacturer issues the declaration of conformity for the ECT+2, and the seller hands it to the buyer with the quotation.

Two therapies on one base

The magnetic ring and the shockwave handpiece share a 500 × 380 mm base, so one treatment room and one mains socket serve both. A clinic adding both services at once handles a single delivery, one set of installation checks, and one entry on the asset register.

Shockwave rate up to 21 Hz

The shockwave frequency runs from 1 to 21 Hz in whole steps. At the top rate, a 2,000-impulse application takes about a minute and a half, which keeps sessions short where the patient tolerates it.

Pressure in half-bar steps

The 0.5 to 10 bar scale moves in 0.5 bar steps, providing 20 settings to match intensity to comfort. Small increments help when a patient needs the level raised gradually during a session.

A preset impulse counter

Impulse counts run from 100 to 9,900 in steps of 100. The clinician can set the dose for each area in advance and record exactly what was delivered.

A wide magnetic frequency range

The 1 to 100 Hz range printed beside the Tesla figure gives the magnetic function a broad choice of repetition rates. The seller should confirm that the range belongs to the ring.

A 10.4-inch touch screen

Settings appear on a 10.4-inch touch screen, and the photograph suggests a body map on the interface. A demonstration will show whether each function has its own presets.

Room duties that can be planned in advance

The statutory picture covers noise, electromagnetic fields, electrical safety, and PUWER, and every part can be settled before delivery. No laser, radiation or water-supply regime applies to the unit.

An upright working height

At 1035 mm tall, the cabinet puts its screen close to standing working height, so a clinician can adjust settings without stooping between applications.

Energy rating of 7 T

The sheet lists 7 T under energy. Tesla measures magnetic flux density, and no measurement position, ring diameter or pulse duration is given.

Frequency range of 1 to 100 Hz

The sheet prints this range next to the Tesla figure as the frequency model. It most likely sets the repetition rate of the magnetic pulses.

Shock frequency of 1,000 to 3,000 Hz

The sheet does not say which function this row belongs to or what the figure describes. Ask the seller before relying on it.

800 W power rating

The 800 W figure is not identified as mains input or treatment output. Ask the seller to confirm it.

Shockwave frequency of 1 to 21 Hz

The frequency adjusts in 1 Hz steps across 21 settings.

Shockwave scale of 0.5 to 10 bar

The scale is printed under energy and moves in 0.5 bar steps. The bar unit describes pressure, and no energy flux density is published.

Impulse counter of 100 to 9,900

The count adjusts in steps of 100 and most likely applies to the shockwave handpiece.

10.4-inch touch screen

A single touch screen appears to control both functions. Programme lists and language options are not described.

Ring applicator (photograph only)

A blue ring on a long handle sits in a holder beside the screen and is connected to the cabinet by a thick lead. The ring diameter, cooling method, and supply status are not published.

Shockwave handpiece (photograph only)

A gun-style handpiece rests in a holder on the left of the cabinet. The drive method, transmitter heads and service life are not published.

Castors and holders (photograph only)

Castors under the base and both applicator holders appear only in the photograph. Confirm whether the castors lock.

Mains supply

Two supply versions are listed, one for 220 V at 50 Hz and one for 110 V at 60 Hz. UK sites need the 50 Hz version rated for a 230 V supply.

Cabinet dimensions and weight

The cabinet measures 500 × 380 × 1035 mm (50 × 38 × 103.5 cm) and weighs 37.2 kg. The axis order is not stated.

Packing

The package measures 540 × 540 × 1165 mm, about 0.34 m³, and weighs 62 kg.

Model name in records

In UK clinical shorthand, ECT usually refers to electroconvulsive therapy, a use that IEC 60601-2-10 names among its exclusions. Record the device by its full name and describe the modality in referral letters.

The ECT+2 puts magnetic therapy and shockwave into one 37.2 kg cabinet on a 500 × 380 mm base, and that combination shapes the room around it. A closing door, a noise assessment, an electromagnetic field assessment and implant screening all belong in the plan before delivery. The combined approach has one supporting randomised trial in rotator cuff tendinopathy, and NICE asks for special arrangements for shockwave in several tendon conditions. The datasheet leaves the applicators, the meaning of the 7 T and 1,000 to 3,000 Hz figures and the shockwave drive unstated. Medigear.uk can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, staff familiarisation, and service cover for the ECT+2. Ask the seller for a function-by-function parameter table, the noise level and the declaration of conformity at quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

The sheet prints its rows without headings, so the split has to be read from the units. The Tesla figure and the 1 to 100 Hz range most likely belong to the magnetic function, while the bar scale, the 1 to 21 Hz range and the impulse count fit the shockwave handpiece. The shock frequency of 1,000 to 3,000 Hz could belong to either, and the sheet does not say which. Ask the seller for a parameter table split by function before ordering.

Tesla is the unit of magnetic flux density, so the figure describes field strength even though the sheet lists it under energy. The field from a coil weakens quickly with distance, which means a peak value only has meaning alongside the point where it was measured. The sheet gives no measurement position, ring diameter or pulse duration. Ask for the measurement method and a map of the field around the ring.

Bar is a unit of pressure, and on shockwave equipment it usually describes the drive pressure inside the handpiece. Energy flux density, the figure clinical studies often report, is not published. The half-bar steps give fine control over intensity, which helps when a patient's tolerance changes during a session. The bar scale also suggests a compressed-air drive, which the sheet does not confirm.

Emission time is the impulse count divided by the frequency. At the top rate of 21 Hz, 2,000 impulses take about a minute and a half, and the 9,900-impulse maximum takes just under eight minutes. At 1 Hz, even 100 impulses take 100 seconds. Patient comfort can limit the rate, so the written protocol should set both figures.

A closing door keeps shockwave noise away from waiting areas and neighbouring rooms, and the employer should assess staff noise exposure against the action values in the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, the lowest of which is a daily exposure of 80 dB(A). The Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016 require an exposure assessment for the magnetic function, with particular attention to staff with implanted devices or who are pregnant. Signage at the door helps keep visitors with pacemakers away from the ring. The room also needs a mains socket within reach and floor space for the base, the ring holder and the handpiece lead.

Patients with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other implanted electronic devices need screening before using either function, and the magnetic ring requires particular care. Pregnancy is commonly treated as a reason to avoid treatment over the abdomen and pelvis. The manufacturer's instructions for use should list the contraindications for both functions, and the clinic's protocol should adopt them in full.

A 2018 randomised trial in 86 patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy gave everyone three shockwave sessions plus either eight sessions of high-energy pulsed magnetic therapy or a sham. Both groups improved, and the combined group reported greater pain reduction at 24 weeks along with better shoulder function scores. That is one trial using specific commercial equipment, and its results cannot be assumed to transfer to other devices. Clinics should treat the combination as promising and still unproven at scale.

NICE says shockwave therapy for refractory plantar fasciitis, refractory tennis elbow, and refractory greater trochanteric pain syndrome should be used only with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent, and audit or research. For calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder, the evidence on efficacy was judged inadequate. Commissioning also varies, and at least one NHS area does not routinely fund shockwave therapy for these conditions. Check the local position before planning an NHS service around the ECT+2.

The general safety standard IEC 60601-1 and the EMC standard IEC 60601-1-2 apply to both functions. Neither of the two nearest particular standards covers them directly. IEC 60601-2-10 addresses electrical nerve and muscle stimulators and excludes brain stimulation such as electroconvulsive therapy, while IEC 60601-2-36 addresses lithotripsy and other focused pressure pulses, so ask the manufacturer which references it applied and why.

Shockwave handpieces and their transmitter heads wear with use, so ask for the service interval in impulses and the heads supplied. The ring and its lead need inspection for damage, and the seller should explain how the ring is cooled and what limits session length. Electrical safety testing follows the clinic's maintenance policy, and the noise and field assessments need review whenever rooms, rotas or staff change. At the end of its working life, the cabinet falls under the WEEE Regulations.
