Two therapies sit in the ECT+5, a floor-standing tower from Guangzhou Texua Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., controlled through a 10.4-inch touchscreen. The sheet gives 7 T under an energy heading, an 800 W rating, frequencies of 1 to 100 Hz and a "shock frequency" of 1,000 to 3,000 Hz, then a second energy row of 0.5 to 10 bar in half-bar steps, rates of 1 to 21 Hz in single-hertz steps and impulse counts of 100 to 9,900 in hundreds. It does not say which figures belong to which applicator, and it omits the applicator list, transmitter heads, timer, cooling, noise, intended purpose and contraindications.

What sets the ECT+5 apart is the scheduling arithmetic it creates. A 2,000-impulse block lasts about 95 seconds at 21 Hz, but 9,900 impulses at 1 Hz would run for almost three hours, so the rate chosen shapes every appointment. Both applicators appear hand-held in the photograph, and the sheet never says they can run together, so most services deliver one therapy to one patient at a time and screen for both at booking.

The photograph shows a white tower on castors, a portrait touchscreen displaying a body map, a shockwave-style handpiece holstered on the left and a ring applicator with a central grille on the right. UK sites should request the 220 V/50 Hz version, then confirm the plug is fitted.

Its footprint is 500 × 380 mm; it stands 1,035 mm tall and weighs 37.5 kg. Medigear.uk lists the ECT+5 for UK business buyers. Before ordering, request the applicator list; the mapping for each datasheet row; whether both therapies can run together; noise and field data; air system details; the ECT+5's declaration of conformity; and the MHRA registration reference from the seller.

Sports and musculoskeletal rehabilitation services are the natural home for a tower that pairs magnetic and shockwave treatment. Athletes with tendon and soft-tissue problems, people with chronic low back pain and patients working through exercise-based programmes are the groups most often studied, and in most trials both treatments sit alongside exercise.

Throughput planning matters more here than with a single-therapy unit. Services should decide in advance which conditions receive which treatment, how many impulses and at what rate, and whether a patient receives both in one visit. A radial block of 2,000 impulses runs from under two minutes to several minutes, depending on rate, and the magnetic session length must be taken from the manufacturer's instructions once they are supplied.

Tendon services offering shockwave for plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow,r Achilles tendinopathy, or greater trochanteric pain should put NICE governance, consent,t and audit arrangements in place, and keep calcific shoulder treatment within research. Magnetic protocols for arthritic joints belong within exercise-led care.

Screening should happen once, at booking, with a single form covering both treatments. Staff exposure needs two assessments: noise for the shockwave side and electromagnetic fields for the magnetic side.

In England, the Care Quality Commission decides registration according to the treatment and the provider, and the other UK nations run separate schemes. The 37.5 kg tower also needs a manual handling plan wherever it moves between rooms or floors.

Private clinics and sports clubs usually purchase directly, and NHS trusts put new electrotherapy devices through medical equipment management checks before first use. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

Two Treatments in One Floor Space

A single 500 × 380 mm footprint carries both magnetic and shockwave settings, which saves a second trolley in a crowded bay.

Impulse Counts That Plan the Day

Preset counts from 100 to 9,900 in steps of 100, combined with a known rate, turn each shockwave block into a predictable number of minutes.

Single-Hertz Rate Control to 21 Hz

Twenty-one rate settings let clinicians match published protocols, from slow starts through to faster blocks when time is short.

Half-Bar Pressure Steps

Pressure moves in 0.5 bar steps across its range, so small changes in patient tolerance can be matched without jumping a whole bar.

A Magnetic Range From 1 to 100 Hz

The listed 1 to 100 Hz frequencies give the magnetic side room for different protocols once the manufacturer confirms how each setting behaves.

One Screen for Both Therapies

A 10.4-inch touchscreen with a body map, as photographed, keeps settings for both treatments in one place for the operator.

Holsters Keep Applicators Apart

The handpiece and ring rest in separate holders on opposite sides of the tower, reducing tangled cables between sessions.

Castors for Room Changes

Castors in the photograph make it practical to roll the 37.5 kg tower between neighbouring bays on level floors.

7 T Magnetic Figure

Printed under an energy heading, the figure is a flux density with no stated measurement position.

800 W Rating

Whether 800 W describes input or output is not stated.

1 to 100 Hz Frequencies

A frequency range of 1 to 100 Hz is listed, most likely for the magnetic side.

1,000 to 3,000 Hz Shock Frequency

This row's purpose isn't explained, and comparable towers use a similar range for a second magnetic mode.

0.5 to 10 Bar Pressure

Pressure appears as a second energy row, adjustable in half-bar steps.

1 to 21 Hz Rate

The rate moves in single-hertz steps.

100 to 9,900 Impulse Counts

Impulse totals are preset in steps of 100.

10.4-Inch Touchscreen

A portrait touchscreen with a body map appears in the photograph.

Two Applicators in Holsters

The photograph shows a shockwave-style handpiece on the left and a ring applicator with a central grille on the right, although no applicator list is published.

Floor-Standing Tower on Castors

The tower stands 1,035 mm tall with a 500 × 380 mm base.

37.5 kg Weight, 62 kg packed

The shipping crate measures 540 × 540 × 1,165 mm, about 0.34 m³.

220 V and 110 V Builds

Two mains builds are listed: 220 V/50 Hz and 110 V/60 Hz.

Drive, Noise and Cooling Not Described

The sheet omits the shockwave drive, sound level, and ring cooling method.

Model Name Caution

In UK clinical shorthand, ECT stands for electroconvulsive therapy, so asset registers and referral letters should spell out the product name and name the treatments in plain words.

The ECT+5 combines magnetic and shockwave settings in a 37.5 kg tower with a 10.4-inch touchscreen, preset impulse counts, and single-hertz rate control, suiting sports and musculoskeletal services that plan their lists carefully. The sheet leaves the applicator list, row mapping, drive, noise, cooling and contraindications unstated, and it does not say whether both therapies can run at once. Screen once for both treatments, assess noise and field exposure, and follow NICE's arrangements for shockwave work. Medigear.uk lists the ECT+5 for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, staff training and service cover. Request the row mapping, applicator list, sound and field data, and conformity documents from the seller with the quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Nowhere on the sheet is this stated, so read it with care. Bar settings, a 1 to 21 Hz rate and a preset impulse count are the figures radial shockwave units publish, while tesla and a 1 to 100 Hz range describe magnetic output. Listings for comparable combination units describe a second magnetic mode running at 1,000 to 3,000 Hz with fixed settings, which suggests the ECT+5's "shock frequency" row belongs to the ring rather than the handpiece. Ask the seller to confirm each row against its applicator in writing.

Divide the impulse count by the rate. At 21 Hz, 2,000 impulses finish in about 95 seconds and 9,900 in just under eight minutes, while at 10 Hz the same 2,000 take 3 minutes 20 seconds. A published radial trial in chronic low back pain used 2,000 impulses at 5 Hz, roughly seven minutes per session. Comparable units stop automatically once the preset count is reached, so confirm the ECT+5 does the same before relying on it in a busy list.

Nothing on the sheet says the ring and the handpiece can deliver output together. Even if they can, each is hand-held in the photograph and would need its own clinician and its own couch within cable reach. Plan capacity on one therapy and one patient at a time until the seller confirms otherwise in writing, and add the magnetic session length once the manufacturer publishes its timer range.

As a claim to test, not a dose, a tesla is a unit of field strength, not energy, and the sheet gives no distance or position for the measurement, even though field strength drops sharply away from a coil. Ask for the test report behind the figure, including where the probe sat, before 7 T is quoted in patient leaflets or the staff exposure assessment.

One booking form can cover both. Magnetic therapy screening covers pregnancy, pacemakers and other electronic implants, metalwork in the body, insulin pumps and other worn devices, and any treatment close to the head. NHS shockwave leaflets commonly rule out patients who are pregnant, take blood-thinning or antiplatelet drugs, have recently had a steroid injection into the area, or have infection, a wound or cancer in or near the treatment area. Pregnancy appears on both lists. The manufacturer's contraindications are missing from the sheet and should be included in the instructions for use.

Trials of the pairing are few. A 2018 randomised trial in 86 people with rotator cuff tendinopathy gave shockwave with either high-energy magnetic therapy or a sham, and both groups improved significantly. In a 2025 knee osteoarthritis trial where every group also exercised, shockwave, magnetic therapy and the exercise-only control all improved after treatment. For low back pain, a 2021 meta-analysis of 10 trials found lower pain with shockwave at one month, and reviews of magnetic therapy have reported a trend towards pain relief across varied protocols.

NICE guidance covers shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis, refractory tennis elbow and Achilles tendinopathy, and refractory greater trochanteric pain, and asks services to use special arrangements for governance, consent, and audit or research. Shockwave for calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder is restricted to research. NICE's osteoarthritis guideline builds non-drug care around exercise, and any magnetic protocol for arthritic joints should sit alongside it.

No sound or field data is published. Sound levels near 88 dB were recorded during radial treatment in one study, and under the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 employers have to assess the risk once staff are likely to be exposed at or above 80 dB(A) over a day. The Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016 add an exposure assessment for the magnetic side, with particular care for staff with implants or who are pregnant. Ask for both data sets before deciding where the operator stands and how many sessions one person runs each day.

Pressure set in bar points to a pneumatic drive, although the sheet does not confirm one. If a compressor fills an internal reservoir, ask for its pressure and volume. Systems under 250 bar litres are outside the written-scheme requirement of the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, yet the user must still keep them within safe limits and maintain them. A standard UK socket handles 800 W easily if that figure describes input, and like any mains-powered clinical equipment, the tower needs periodic electrical safety tests, with PUWER 1998 governing maintenance and training.

Each shockwave session uses coupling gel on the skin, and radial handpieces contain a projectile that wears out; comparable listings quote its life in millions of impulses. Ask how many transmitter heads come with the ECT+5, when the handpiece needs servicing, how the ring is cooled and how long it can operate continuously. Warranty terms are included in the seller's quotation, and Medigear.uk can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation, and ongoing service.

Clinics that want to treat two patients at once should wait for written confirmation that both applicators can run together, and shared rooms where noise carries may struggle with shockwave sessions. NICE limits calcific shoulder treatment to research settings, and the datasheet does not mention home use, body contouring, or erectile dysfunction treatment. Buyers who need full documentation before enquiry can ask Medigear.uk to point the buyer to an alternative specification.
