The T608+2 is Texua's combined shockwave and ultrasonic therapy console for treatment rooms short on bench space. The sheet lists two handles, one for shockwave and one for ultrasonic. On the shockwave side, energy runs from 0.5 to 10 bar in half-bar increments, frequency from 1 to 21 Hz in single-hertz steps, and the shot count from 100 to 9,900 in hundreds, with seven probes supplied. The console draws 380 W, carries an eight-inch touch screen, measures 365 by 405 by 235 mm and weighs 17.85 kg.

Two modalities sharing one footprint is the case for a unit like this. A treatment room gives each piece of equipment a bench position, a socket and a place to rest its handpiece, and a console serving both therapies uses one of each. For a musculoskeletal room where shockwave and ultrasound are both on the menu, that frees a surface for everything else a clinic room has to hold, and removes one lead from the floor.

The catch is that only one of the two therapies is actually specified. Every output figure on the sheet belongs to the shockwave handle. The ultrasonic handle is named and nothing more: no operating frequency, no intensity, no radiating area, no beam non-uniformity, no duty cycle. Without a frequency, there is no way to know what depth it reaches, and without an intensity, no way to match it to a protocol. The footprint advantage exists only if the second handle can be used properly, and the sheet gives no basis for judging that.

Medigear.uk lists the T608+2 for UK business buyers. Request the full ultrasonic specification, the device class, nd a declaration of conformity covering both functions, and the probe details from the seller before ordering.

A combination console suits the treatment room, offering both modalities and room for one machine. Musculoskeletal physiotherapy, sports medicine and rehabilitation departments commonly use shockwave for tendon insertions and ultrasound for soft tissue, and each device usually needs its own bench position, socket and handpiece rest. Where the room is small or shared, fitting both into one footprint is the practical argument.

On the shockwave side, the configuration is fully described. Radial output from 0.5 to 10 bar suits superficial tendon insertions: the Achilles, the plantar fascia at the heel, the common extensor origin at the elbow, the greater trochanter and the proximal hamstring, a presentation sports medicine services see regularly. Seven probes give a choice of face for narrow insertions and broader areas.

On the ultrasonic side, nothing is described so that nothing can be planned. Whether the handle reaches superficial structures only or deeper tissue depends on a frequency the sheet does not give, and whether it suits a particular protocol depends on an intensity it does not give either. A service should treat the ultrasound as unconfirmed until the seller provides those figures in writing, and should not build it into a protocol, a rota or a patient information leaflet before then.

The two modalities also carry different guidance, which a service needs to reflect in how it uses each. Shockwave needs special arrangements for governance, consent and audit across tendon indications; ultrasound is advised against in low back pain and in osteoarthritis. Procurement runs through trust services, private practices and sports medicine providers under their own rules, with a Class IIa or IIb device clearing clinical governance alongside finance. Adverse incidents go to the MHRA through the Yellow Card scheme.

Two therapies from one footprint

A single console serving both shockwave and ultrasound needs one bench position, one socket, and one place to rest handpieces in a small or shared treatment room, freeing up surface space for notes, gel, and everything else the room has to hold.

The patient stays on the couch.

Changing from one therapy to the other means picking up the other handle, not moving the patient to another machine. For a session that combines the two, the flow stays uninterrupted.

A fully specified shockwave side

Energy from 0.5 to 10 bar in half-bar steps, frequency from 1 to 21 Hz, and a shot count from 100 to 9,900 are all published with their increments. The shockwave half of the console can be assessed properly on paper.

Seven shockwave probes supplied

The count is published, so the probe set arrives with the console. Probe face governs the treated area, and seven gives a clinician options for insertions as different as the Achilles and the greater trochanter.

Ranges covering published shockwave protocols

Tendon protocols in the literature commonly run 2.5 to 5 bar at 3 to 5 Hz for 1,500 to 3,000 shots—all three fall within the published ranges, with room on either side.

An eight-inch touch screen

Large enough to hold the live parameters for whichever handle is in use, readable from the couch without leaning over.

Stable once positioned

At 17.85 kg, the console stays where it is placed and does not shift when a lead is caught. For a room that sites equipment once, that is one less thing to manage.

Every gap is answerable before delivery.ery

The ultrasonic specification, the declaration covering both functions, the probe details, the verification routines, and the voltage variant all exist in the manufacturer's file. Getting them in writing takes one email.

Shockwave handle

One of two handles listed. It carries every published output parameter on the sheet and works with seven supplied probes.

Ultrasonic handle

The second listed handle. The sheet gives no operating frequency, intensity, radiating area, beam non-uniformity, or duty cycle, so its capability cannot be assessed from the sheet.

Energy 0.5 to 10 bar

Shockwave energy adjustable in half-bar increments across the range, giving twenty positions.

Frequency 1 to 21 Hz

Shockwave impact rate adjustable one hertz at a time, giving twenty-one positions.

Shot count 100 to 9,900

Impacts per shockwave session chosen in hundreds, giving ninety-nine counts.

Seven shockwave probes

Listed as supplied for the shockwave handle. Diameters, face profiles, applications and rated shot life are all missing.

380 W power draw

Published at 380 W for the console. Duty cycle and cooling are not described for either handle.

Eight-inch touch screen

Controls sit on an eight-inch touch screen. It does not describe how it switches between the two handles or what it displays for the ultrasonic side.

Console dimensions 365 × 405 × 235 mm

A footprint of 365 by 405 mm serving both therapies, with a net mass of 17.85 kg.

Packed dimensions 530 × 467 × 413 mm

Around 0.102 cubic metres and 28.5 kg once boxed.

Dual rated voltage

Stated as 220 V at 50 Hz or 110 V at 60 Hz, without saying whether one build handles both.

Shockwave pulse structure not published.

No waveform, rise time, duration or energy equivalent in millijoules per square millimetre for the shockwave side.

Wear life not published for either handle.e

No rated shot life for the shockwave projectile or probes, and no service life for the ultrasonic applicator.

Class, marking and registration not published

The sheet gives no device class, no UKCA or CE mark, no Approved Body, no MHRA registration and no UK Responsible Person, and says nothing about whether any declaration covers both functions.

Two therapies in one footprint is a sound idea for a treatment room that offers both and has space for one machine. The shockwave half of this console is properly specified, with stepped energy, frequency, shot count, and seven probes. The ultrasonic half is a name on a single line: no frequency, no intensity, no radiating area, nothing to match to a protocol or a depth. Until those figures arrive, the footprint advantage is a promise, not a feature. A declaration of conformity naming both functions, two separate output verification routines, and an indication list reflecting two different NICE positions all come with the purchase. Medigear.uk lists the T608+2 for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Request the ultrasonic specification and the declaration covering both functions from the seller with the quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Nothing on the sheet says. It appears in a single line as one of two handles, and no parameter is attached to it. For a therapeutic ultrasound applicator, the specifications that matter are operating frequency (which determines depth); effective intensity (watts per square centimetre); effective radiating area; beam non-uniformity; and duty cycle. None is published. Ask for all five, measured to the recognised standard for physiotherapy ultrasound, before treating the ultrasound side as a working modality.

Because it sets how deep the energy goes. Tissue absorbs ultrasound faster as frequency rises, so three megahertz is spent within the first centimetre or two while one megahertz reaches three to five centimetres. A handle at one frequency serves one depth range; a handle offering both covers more. Without knowing which this is, a clinician cannot say whether it suits a shallow tendon insertion or a deeper muscle, which is the first decision in any ultrasound treatment.

It should, and it is worth checking that it does. UK MDR 2002 still classifies devices under the old directive's annex, whose implementing rules say that where several rules apply to one device, the strictest rule resulting in the higher class governs. Both Shockwave and therapeutic ultrasound fall under the rule for active devices administering energy, giving Class IIa or IIb. The intended purpose and the declaration should name both functions explicitly. A declaration that describes only Shockwave does not cover the second handle.

Its own. Therapeutic ultrasound has a specific part of the medical electrical equipment standard for ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment, and a separate ultrasonics standard that sets out how radiating area and beam non-uniformity must be measured. Those apply to the ultrasonic handle in addition to the general safety standard the whole console meets. Ask which standards were applied to each function, since the shockwave side has no equivalent particular part.

Separately, which doubles the servicing question, ultrasound output drifts with use. It needs a radiation force balance to verify it, and surveys have repeatedly found large proportions of therapy heads in service delivering more or less than their display shows. Shockwave delivery also falls as the projectile and probe faces wear. Two modalities mean two verification routines on one console. Ask what the manufacturer specifies for each, at what interval, and who performs the checks in the UK.

Yes, and noticeably. For Shockwave across tendon indications, NICE found no major safety concerns but inconsistent efficacy evidence, and asks for special arrangements for governance, consent and audit. For ultrasound, the position is harder: NICE advises it should not be offered for low back pain with or without sciatica, and recommends against it in osteoarthritis. A service buying both modalities in one console inherits both positions, so its indication list needs to say which therapy is used for what.

The seven probes belong to the shockwave handle and are otherwise undescribed; probe face and diameter decide the treated area, so ask for each by diameter and application. The ultrasonic handle is listed as a single handle with no mention of interchangeable heads, head sizes or radiating area. Ask whether it takes more than one head, and whether any head supplied covers more than one frequency.

The carton, no; the console, carefully. There is no statutory lifting limit in the UK, but the manual handling regulations oblige employers to avoid risky lifts where they reasonably can and to assess the rest. HSE's 25 kg and 16 kg figures for men and women indicate when that assessment is due, and only for a load held close between knuckle and shoulder; they shrink markedly lower down. At 28.5 kg the carton is past both, and the 17.85 kg console is past the lower one even in good posture.

Class IIa, or IIb where the energy may be administered in a potentially hazardous way, with the stricter outcome governing across the two functions. Either requires a UK Approved Body and a numbered certificate. The device must be registered with the MHRA before reaching the Great Britain market, and a manufacturer established outside the UK must appoint a UK Responsible Person. None of that appears. Ask for the class, the certificate covering both functions, the registration and the responsible person.

Any service buying it for the ultrasound, since that half of the console has no published specification at all. Anyone who cannot obtain a declaration of conformity naming both functions. Any service without the governance, consent and audit arrangements Shockwave requires, or without an indication list reflecting NICE's position on ultrasound. For a room already committed to Shockwave that wants an ultrasound option in the same footprint, and can get the ultrasonic figures in writing first, the configuration makes sense.
