Built by Texua, the EV20 is a compact radial shockwave console aimed at single-handed practitioners and small clinics. Pressure is chosen from eight half-bar settings between 0.5 and 4 bar, impacts can be delivered at 1 to 21 per second, and each session ends automatically at a preset count anywhere from 100 to 9,900. Five transmitters are listed, a 5-inch touch screen carries the controls, and the console is rated at 300 W. No energy per impact, energy flux density, transmitter size, handpiece life or contraindication list is published.

The defining feature of this model is its ceiling. Four bar is where the scale stops, and randomised trials for Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, plantar heel pain and gluteal tendinopathy have reported radial settings between about 1.5 and 4 bar, so on paper the EV20 spans them. The catch is that bar measures the air pressure driving a handpiece, not the energy it delivers, and those trials used other devices. ISMST guidance asks that the shockwave source be recorded alongside the parameters, and the seller's energy data at 4 bar determines whether this console reaches the same dose.

The console is built for mains power in two versions, 220 V/50 Hz and 110 V/60 Hz, and no battery is listed. The photograph shows a carrying handle across the top, one output socket on the front panel and a single handpiece with a transmitter fitted.

The console measures 250 by 260 by 172 mm and weighs 6.55 kg. For UK business buyers, the EV20 is listed on Medigear.uk; before ordering, the seller should provide energy flux density for each transmitter at 4 bar, transmitter dimensions and shot life, the instructions for use, and the device class, backed by the declaration of conformity.

A 4 bar ceiling shapes the caseload more than any other figure on the sheet. The randomised trials that report radial settings cluster below it: Achilles tendinopathy at 2.5 to 3 bar, lateral elbow work at roughly 1.6 to 2.5 bar and plantar fasciitis at 2 to 3 bar. Gluteal tendinopathy sits right at it, with one trial running 2,000 pulses at 4 bar and 10 Hz, which leaves no headroom on this console for a patient who needs more.

That makes the EV20 a fit for superficial tendon insertions, where radial energy is strongest and moderate pressures are the norm. Elbow, heel and Achilles lists suit it well. Hip work is possible within the published figures, but it uses the whole scale.

The size changes who can run it. At 6.55 kg with a handle, the console suits a single-handed physiotherapist moving between two rooms, a sports club treatment area or a small private practice with little free bench or floor space. It needs mains power wherever it goes, and every session still needs the screening questions, the written patient information and the outcome audit that NICE's special arrangements set for heel and Achilles work.

Recording matters more than usual on a compact device, because settings written as bar alone mean little outside this console. Naming the EV20, the transmitter, and all three parameters in each record keeps the audit readable if the service later changes equipment. Procurement routes differ between NHS physiotherapy teams, sports medicine services and private practitioners, but the conformity paperwork is always the manufacturer's, supplied through the seller.

A range that spans published radial settings

From 0.5 to 4 bar, the scale covers the pressures reported in radial trials for Achilles, elbow, heel and hip. Whether it matches their energy depends on the handpiece, which only measured data can confirm.

One-person handling

At 6.55 kg, the console sits below HSE's lifting-filter weights, and so does its 11.85 kg carton. Moving it between rooms needs neither a trolley nor a second person in ordinary conditions.

A handle on the housing

The photograph shows a carrying handle across the top of the console, so you can lift and reposition it without gripping the screen or the handpiece lead.

A footprint for a small table

At 250 by 260 mm and 172 mm tall, the EV20 fits a side table or trolley shelf beside a couch, leaving the rest of a small room clear.

Full control of rate and count

Frequency runs from 1 to 21 Hz and the counter from 100 to 9,900 impacts, so session length and rhythm stay fully adjustable.

Five transmitters listed

Five faces offer some choice between small bony insertions and broader tendon areas, though until the seller describes each one the choice is guesswork.

A 5-inch touch screen

The screen holds all three settings on a console small enough to carry, and the photograph shows a graphical interface. What it stores, if anything, is not described.

A modest electrical load

At 300 W, the console runs from any standard socket, whether in a clinic room or a visited venue.

Pressure from 0.5 to 4 bar

Eight settings in half-bar steps. Energy at the transmitter face is not published for any of them.

Frequency from 1 to 21 Hz

Adjustable by a hertz at a time across the full range.

Session counter of 100 to 9,900 impacts

Set in hundreds and delivered automatically.

Five listed probes

The number is given. Diameter, profile, material and rated life are not.

5-inch touch screen

Controls sit on a small graphical touch screen. Protocol storage and session records are not mentioned.

300 W rating

A light electrical load for a mains console.

Mains supply only

Mains builds for 220 V/50 Hz and 110 V/60 Hz, with no battery listed. UK orders should name the 220 V build and a UK lead.

Console of 250 × 260 × 172 mm at 6.55 kg

A carry-sized unit, below both HSE filter weights for a one-person lift.

Carton of 328 × 295 × 440 mm at 11.85 kg

Roughly 0.043 cubic metres of goods-in space, and a one-person carry.

Handle and single handpiece in the photograph

A handle crosses the top of the housing, and one handpiece connects to a single socket on the front panel.

No energy data

Without a figure for energy per impact or energy flux density, a bar setting stays tied to this device alone.

No contraindications or instructions

Nothing on the sheet covers who should not be treated, what the device is intended for or how it should be operated.

No noise figure, duty cycle or shot life

How loud it runs, how long it may run without a rest and how many impacts the handpiece and transmitters last are all unstated.

No class, marking or registration

The regulatory block is empty: no class, no marking, no body number, no MHRA registration and no UK Responsible Person.

The EV20 is built around a modest ceiling and a small body, and on paper the combination works. Its 4 bar ceiling sits at the top of the settings radial trials commonly report for Achilles, elbow, heel and hip, and its 6.55 kg body with a handle suits a practitioner who works in more than one place. What paper cannot settle is energy. Bar values belong to the device they were measured on, so the seller's energy flux density data for each transmitter at 4 bar determines whether the EV20 reaches the doses used in those trials. Ask for that alongside the instructions for use, transmitter details and device class. UK business buyers can order the EV20 through Medigear.uk, with delivery, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover organised with the order. The manufacturer issues the declaration of conformity and certificates, and the seller supplies them with the quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Numerically, yes, for most of those in the literature. ISMST guidance for lateral elbow pain gives 1.4 to 2.5 bar at up to 8 Hz, an Achilles programme used 2,000 pulses at 2.5 to 3 bar and 8 Hz, a plantar fasciitis trial used 2 or 3 bar, and a gluteal tendinopathy trial ran at 4 bar and 10 Hz. Some protocols instead raise pressure to the maximum each patient tolerates, and there a 4 bar ceiling can bind. Each figure belongs to the device it was measured on, so the real test is the energy this handpiece delivers at 4 bar.

In a radial device, compressed air or a magnetic field drives a projectile against the applicator, and that impact sends the pressure wave into tissue. Bar describes the driving pressure, while the energy reaching the skin depends on the projectile, the guide tube and the transmitter face. Two consoles set to 3 bar can therefore deliver different doses. Energy flux density for each transmitter, measured across the pressure range, is the figure that makes settings comparable.

ISMST guidance calls for documenting the shockwave source and the parameters used, which on this console means the device, the transmitter, pressure, frequency, and impact count. Where NICE's special arrangements apply, as they do for heel and Achilles work, written patient information and an outcome audit for every patient sit alongside that record. A record that names the EV20 alongside its settings stays meaningful if the service later changes device.

In normal conditions, yes. The 6.55 kg console and the 11.85 kg carton both sit below the 16 kg and 25 kg filter weights HSE uses to identify low-risk lifts held close to the body, though those figures are guidance rather than legal limits. The photograph shows a handle across the top. It is listed for mains supply only, so a visit or a second room needs a socket within reach of the couch, and UK orders should specify the 220 V build.

The sheet lists five probes and nothing more about them. Diameter, face profile and material decide how energy spreads, which matters more on a console with a modest ceiling. Request the diameter, profile, and service life of all five, with energy readings for each.

NICE's HealthTech guidance on shockwave for plantar fasciitis (HTG200) and for Achilles tendinopathy (HTG426) limits its use to services running special arrangements for governance, consent and audit or research. That means informing governance leads, giving written information about the uncertain evidence and auditing every patient treated. Other indications, including tennis elbow, have their own NICE guidance, so check its status before adding them to a protocol.

ISMST guidance rules out radial treatment with a pacemaker, a fetus or a malignant tumour in the shockwave field, and treats a growth plate there as a relative contraindication. Anticoagulants and recent steroid injections belong on the intake form too, since expert opinion on both is unsettled. With no contraindication list on the sheet, the instructions for use and the service's own screening must provide it.

Start with the instructions for use, since the sheet carries no warnings or intended purpose. The device class is typically Class IIa under UK MDR 2002, or higher, use-dependent — confirmed against the declaration of conformity at order, and at that class an approved or notified body must have issued a certificate. A manufacturer outside the UK must also be registered with the MHRA through a UK Responsible Person. Those documents originate with the manufacturer and reach the buyer through the seller.

Services whose protocols raise pressure to each patient's maximum tolerance, because the scale may stop short. Hip and larger soft tissue regions where a published protocol already sits at 4 bar, leaving no headroom on this console. Any buyer who needs energy data before treating, until the seller provides it. For a single-handed practice or small clinic treating elbow, heel and Achilles tendon problems, the range covers the settings those trials describe.
