Texua positions the T701 as a ballistic radial pressure wave device for services that site it once and leave it. 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. Seven probes are listed as supplied. The console draws 380 W, carries an eight-inch touch screen, measures 476 by 352 by 240 mm and weighs 17.7 kg. No waveform, rise time, pulse duration or energy equivalent is published, and nothing describes cooling or a duty cycle.

Mass shapes this purchase. A console of nearly eighteen kilograms does not get carried off to another room and left there, does not shift when a cable is pulled, and does not end up on the floor. It stays where it was sited, and a service that treats in one room has no reason to want anything else.

The same figure introduces a risk that belongs on the delivery plan. UK law sets no maximum lifting weight. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations require employers to avoid hazardous handling where reasonably practicable and to assess what remains, and HSE publishes guideline figures of 25 kg for men and 16 kg for women as filters for when that assessment is needed. Those apply only close to the body between knuckle and shoulder height, and fall to around 10 and 7 kg at floor level. Packed at 31 kg, this exceeds both filters outright.

Medigear.uk lists the T701 for UK business buyers. Request the class and declaration of conformity, the probe specifications and rated shot life, what accounts for the mass, and which voltage variant the seller ships before ordering.

The T701 suits a room that treats shockwave in one place. Podiatry clinics managing heel pain lists, musculoskeletal services with a dedicated treatment room, sports medicine practices, and physiotherapy departments that allocate a bay to shockwave all fit that pattern. Shockwave is most often used for Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and greater trochanteric pain syndrome, generally after conservative treatment has not resolved the problem.

Heel pain is where this configuration reads best. Plantar fasciitis at the calcaneal insertion is a superficial target within easy reach of radial output; the half-bar and single-hertz increments allow the gradual titration most protocols describe, and seven probes offer a choice of face for the insertion and surrounding tissue. Which probe suits which target is a question for the seller, since none is described.

Siting deserves as much thought as the clinical fit. A console of this mass wants a bench rated to carry it, at a height that avoids stooping during treatment, with the delivery route to that bench planned before the carton arrives. Once it is in place, it should not need moving again, which is the point.

The governance expectation applies throughout. Guidance attaches special arrangements for clinical governance, consent and audit to shockwave across tendon indications, so a service needs those in place before the first list. Procurement runs through trust musculoskeletal and podiatry 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.

It stays where it is sited.

A console approaching eighteen kilograms does not creep across a bench under vibration, does not topple when a lead is caught, and does not wander off to another room. For a service that treats in one place, a machine that stays put is less trouble.

Seven probes supplied

The count is published, so the probe set arrives with the machine rather than becoming a separate conversation. With the probe face governing the treated area, a clinician has a range to match insertion to the surrounding tissue.

Full 0.5 to 10 bar range in half-bar steps

Twenty settings across the energy range, fine enough to titrate to tolerance across the opening shots and wide enough to cover published protocols with room either side.

Frequency and shot count both stepped.

One-hertz increments from 1 to 21 Hz and a counter set in hundreds up to 9,900 make each session reproducible, which matters when outcomes must be audited against the parameters used.

An eight-inch touch screen

Large enough to read the three live parameters without leaning over, with a hand free for the handpiece. On a heel pain list where the patient is prone or supine, and the clinician is at the foot of the couch, legibility at a distance helps.

Ranges that encompass published protocols

Tendon protocols in the literature commonly sit between 2.5 and 5 bar, 3 to 5 Hz, and 1,500 to 3,000 shots. All three fall comfortably within the published ranges.

Mains-powered with nothing else to supply

A socket is all it needs. No gas cylinder, no water buffer and no plumbed connection, so siting is a matter of a suitable bench and a power point.

Every open question is answerable before delivery.

Probe specifications and shot life, what makes up the mass, the class and certificate, the registration, the voltage variant and what the carton contains- all of this already exists in the manufacturer's file.

Ballistic radial mechanism

Pressure waves are generated by a projectile driven pneumatically against a probe face, with output quoted in bar. Energy is greatest at the skin and diminishes with depth.

Energy 0.5 to 10 bar

Adjustable across the full range in half-bar increments, giving twenty settings.

Frequency 1 to 21 Hz

Adjustable in single-hertz steps across the range, giving twenty-one settings.

Shot count 100 to 9,900

Impacts per session set in increments of 100, giving ninety-nine settings, and displayed rather than estimated.

Seven probes supplied

Listed as included. No diameters, face profiles, intended applications or rated shot life are given for any of them.

380 W power draw

The input power is published at 380 W. No duty cycle, continuous-run limit, or cooling arrangement is provided.

Eight-inch touch screen

Control is through an eight-inch touch screen. Resolution, preset protocols, language options and any session record function are not described.

Console dimensions 476 × 352 × 240 mm

Published with a net mass of 17.7 kg, roughly forty litres of enclosure. What accounts for the mass is not stated.

Packed dimensions 550 × 455 × 420 mm

Packed at 31 kg and about 0.105 cubic metres, so around thirteen kilograms separates the packed and unpacked figures.

Dual rated voltage

Given as 220 V at 50 Hz or 110 V at 60 Hz. Whether a unit is switchable or built to one standard is not stated.

Pulse structure not published.d

No waveform, rise time, pulse duration or energy equivalent in millijoules per square millimetre, so output cannot be mapped onto studies reporting energy flux density.

Cooling and duty cycle not published

Nothing describes cooling, a continuous-operation limit or a rest interval for a 380 W device delivering several thousand impacts per session.

Handpiece and probe life not published.

No rated shot life for the handpiece, projectile or probe faces, and no method of indicating wear.

Class, marking and registration not published.d

No device class, no marking under UKCA or CE, no Approved Body number, no MHRA registration and no UK Responsible Person appears on the specification.

Mass defines this purchase in both directions. A console weighing about eighteen kilograms stays exactly where it is sited, which, for a service treating in one room, is a quiet but real advantage. The same figure, and more so the thirty-one kilograms of the carton, sits above the HSE guideline filters that tell an employer a manual handling assessment is needed, so delivery and siting belong in a plan rather than to whoever happens to be nearby. The output side is familiar: full-range stepped parameters and seven probes, with pulse structure, cooling and probe life unpublished. Governance, consent and audit arrangements apply as they do to shockwave generally. Medigear.uk lists the T701 for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Request the probe specifications, what makes up the mass, and the device class from the seller in the quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Not the carton, and the console only with care. There is no legal maximum weight for lifting at work in the UK. The law requires employers to avoid hazardous manual handling where reasonably practicable, assess what cannot be avoided, and reduce the risk. HSE's guideline figures of 25 kg for men and 16 kg for women are filters for deciding when an assessment is needed, not safe limits, and they assume the load is close to the body between knuckle and shoulder height. At 31 kg, the packed carton exceeds both. Plan a trolley or a two-person lift for delivery.

At 17.7 kg, it exceeds the women's guideline even in ideal conditions, and exceeds both figures once the lift starts from the floor or finishes above shoulder height, where the filters fall to around 10 and 7 kg. Lifting it from a delivery trolley onto a bench at waist height is the most manageable case. Lifting it from the floor onto a high worktop is not. Decide in advance who sits it and how, and record the assessment rather than relying on whoever is nearest.

Stability and a fixed position. A console this heavy stays put when a cable is tugged, does not creep across a bench under its own vibration, and is not the sort of thing that migrates to another room and fails to return. For a service treating in one place, that is a real advantage. What the sheet does not say is what makes up the mass, whether a heavier internal compressor, a sturdier chassis or something else, and that is worth asking, since it may bear on duty cycle and service life.

Thirteen kilograms separate 17.7 kg net from 31 kg packed, which is a lot of packaging, and presumably the seven probes, handpiece, leads, and any case travel in there too. That makes goods-in handling the heaviest single task associated with the product. Ask what the carton contains, whether it can be split into lighter packages, and whether the supplier delivers to the room rather than to reception.

Radial, on the specification's own evidence. Energy quoted in bar and a ballistic, pneumatically driven handpiece place it in the radial pressure-wave class, where a projectile strikes a probe face, and the wave spreads from the skin surface. Focused devices are quoted in millijoules per square millimetre and concentrate energy at a chosen depth using electromagnetic, electrohydraulic or piezoelectric generators. Radial energy is greatest at the surface and falls away with depth. Confirm the modality in writing and match it to the depth of the structures being treated.

Supplied, and otherwise undescribed. The count is published, which settles the set at the point of order. What each one is for is not: probe face and diameter determine the treated area and how energy spreads from the contact point, so seven could span very different applications or offer small variations on a few. For a podiatry service treating heel pain, the relevant question is which probe suits the plantar fascia insertion. Ask for each probe by diameter and intended application.

Not published, and on a ballistic device, this figure governs the replacement cycle. The mechanism drives a projectile against a probe face thousands of times in a session, and both wear. With the counter running to 9,900 shots, a long session takes a real share of component life. Ask for the rated shot life of the handpiece and each probe, how wear is indicated, and the replacement interval expressed in sessions.

That safety is not the concern and efficacy evidence is. Across tendon indications, including plantar fasciitis, NICE found no major safety concerns, but efficacy evidence is inconsistent and limited in quality and quantity. The conclusion is that the procedure should be used only with special arrangements for clinical governance, consent, and audit or research: inform governance leads, give patients clear written information about the uncertainty, and audit outcomes for everyone treated. That applies regardless of which device delivers it.

Under UK MDR 2002, an active therapeutic device intended to administer energy falls under Rule 9, giving Class IIa unless the energy may be administered in a potentially hazardous way, in which case it is Class IIb. Both require a UKCA-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 on the sheet. Ask for the class, the certificate and class number, the registration and the named responsible person.

Any service that needs to move its shockwave device between rooms routinely, since a nearly eighteen-kilogram console is built to stay put. Anyone without a manual handling plan for delivery and siting. Any service unwilling to put the governance, consent and audit arrangements in place that the guidance expects. And any clinic treating at depth, because radial output is weighted to the surface. For a podiatry or physiotherapy room that will site it once and treat heel and tendon presentations there, the weight is an asset.
