Texua T703R

Product Code: PAWE-EAPD-3334

Nine heads on the sheet, but none of them are described.

Every setting a session needs is a dial here: pressure in half-bar steps to 12, rate to 21 Hz, impulse counts to 9,900. What the sheet leaves out is which of the nine probes belongs on which part of the body.

The T703R sheet lists nine probes but describes none of them, leaving a gap a buyer must close before the first list. It does publish a benchtop radial shockwave console with pressure from 0.5 to 12 bar in half-bar steps, a rate of 1 to 21 Hz in single steps, impulse counts from 100 to 9,900 in hundreds, a 400 W rating, and a 10.1-inch touch screen. No probe sizes, penetration depths, coupling gel, noise figure or handpiece weight appear anywhere on it.

A radial session is a sequence of choices, and the probe is the first. Published transmitter ranges run from about 6 mm for acupuncture-style points to 35 mm for large muscle groups, with depths from roughly 20 mm to 60 mm, and makers say the choice follows the area, the depth wanted, a nd what the tissue will take. Pressure and rate come next, then the impulse count, then the gel that couples the head to the skin. None of those steps can be planned from this sheet, because the heads are given only as a count.

Bar is a unit of pressure, and the sheet prints it under energy. That matters for comparison, because the figure a buyer sees may be measured in the barrel rather than at the tissue, and published radial protocols sit well below the top of this range.

The console measures 430 × 360 × 310 mm and weighs 18 kg. The photograph shows the Texua name on the side panel, though the sheet names no manufacturer. Medigear.uk lists the T703R for UK business buyers. Before ordering, ask for the probe list with sizes, the measurement point for the bar figure, the projectile and tube service life, and the legal manufacturer on the declaration of conformity.

Physiotherapy practices, sports rehabilitation services, podiatry clinics and musculoskeletal pain services are the buyers. The work targets tendinopathy in the heel, elbow, patellar tendon, and shoulder, along with myofascial trigger points and the fascia of the foot, usually delivered as a short course alongside a loading programme rather than on its own.

The probe set is what decides the range of that work. Small heads suit points and superficial structures, mid-size heads suit tendon insertions, and the largest heads suit muscle and connective tissue over a broad area. A clinic buying a nine-head set should map each head to the areas it treats before the machine goes into service, because an unmapped set turns into two heads that get used and seven that sit in a drawer.

Screening and consent sit where they do for any shockwave service. The instructions for use carry the contraindications, patients are told that soreness and reddening are normal for a day or two, and the notes record the head, the pressure, the rate and the count for every area treated. Where a course runs over several weeks, those numbers are what make session two a continuation, not a fresh start.

Room and paperwork finish the picture. Impulse noise puts the room within the scope of the Noise at Work assessment, the console joins the electrical testing schedule, and an NHS service will route it through medical devices management before it reaches a clinic room. The manufacturer issues the declaration of conformity, and the seller passes it on with the quotation.

Fine pressure control

Half-bar steps across a 0.5 to 12 bar range give clinicians many settings and a simple number to record. Small increments matter when a patient is finding the treatment uncomfortable.

A wide rate range

One to 21 Hz in single steps covers slow, deliberate work on a tendon insertion and faster passes across muscle. The rate and the count together set how long an area takes.

Impulse counts in hundreds.

Counts from 100 to 9,900 in steps of 100 let a protocol be set exactly and repeated at the next appointment, which is the basis of any comparison between sessions.

Nine heads in the box

A nine-probe set covers more areas than the two or three heads that come with smaller units, provided the sizes suit the clinic's caseload. Ask for the list before assuming it does.

A benchtop footprint

At 430 × 360 mm and 18 kg, the console sits on a worktop or trolley beside the couch and moves between rooms under a planned lift. No fixed installation is needed.

A 10.1-inch touch screen

One screen carries the settings, and the photograph shows a body-map interface with preset buttons. A demonstration will show whether presets can be edited and saved.

No consumable beyond gel

Coupling gel is the only thing used up per session on the treatment side, so the supply list is short. Confirm whether any gel ships with the machine.

A short statutory list

Noise assessment, electrical safety testing and the PUWER duties cover it. There is no radiation, laser or field regime attached to radial shockwave equipment.

Nine shockwave probes

Listed as a count only. Sizes, materials, penetration depths and intended areas are not published, so request the list before ordering.

Pressure of 0.5 to 12 bar

Adjustable in half-bar steps. The sheet lists this under energy, although bar is a unit of pressure, and it gives no measurement point.

Rate of 1 to 21 Hz

Adjustable in single hertz steps. The sheet does not say whether it offers burst or continuous modes

Impulse count of 100 to 9,900

Adjustable in hundreds. Whether the count resets per area or per session is not described.

400 W power rating

Not identified as mains demand or output. For a compressor-driven console, it most likely describes what the unit draws.

10.1-inch touch screen

Carries the settings, with a body-map interface visible in the photograph. Preset programmes, languages and record export are not described.

Handpiece

The photograph shows one handpiece, held in a side cradle with a hose. Its weight, trigger type and cable length are not published.

Projectile and guiding tube

Not mentioned on the sheet. In radial units, these parts absorb the impact and are usually replaced on a service schedule, so ask for the interval.

Coupling gel

Not listed. Radial treatment needs gel at the interface, so confirm whether any is supplied and what the clinic will need to stock.

Compressor and noise

The compressor type is not published,d and no sound figure is given. Ask for a measured level at the operator position.

Console dimensions and weight

430 × 360 × 310 mm and 18 kg, printed as 43 × 36 × 31 cm. The axis order is not stated.

Packing

550 × 460 × 430 mm, about 0.11 m³, at 30 kg.

Mains supply

Listed for 220 V at 50 Hz or 110 V at 60 Hz. A UK site takes the 50 Hz build, provided its rated input covers 230 V.

Manufacturer marking

The sheet names no manufacturer. The photograph shows the Texua name on the console, so ask the seller to confirm the legal manufacturer on the declaration of conformity.

Model name in records

T703R is a supplier code with no clinical meaning, so notes and referral letters should name radial shockwave therapy in full alongside it.

The T703R publishes its dials and hides its heads: half-bar steps to 12 bar, single-hertz steps to 21 Hz, impulse counts to 9,900, and a 10.1-inch screen, with nine probes named only by number. For a clinic, the probe list decides whether the machine fits the caseload, and the measurement point behind the bar figure decides whether the range means anything. Add the projectile and tube service interval, a measured noise level and the legal manufacturer to the same request. NICE supports shockwave for several tendinopathies under special arrangements and found the evidence inadequate for calcific shoulder. Hence, the machine belongs in a rehabilitation programme rather than replacing one. Medigear.uk can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, staff familiarisation and service cover for a UK business buyer.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

They are transmitter heads that screw onto the handpiece, and each one spreads the pulse differently. Published ranges in this field run from small acupuncture-style heads around 6 mm through 10 to 15 mm heads for tendon work and trigger points, up to 20 and 35 mm heads for muscle and connective tissue, with quoted penetration depths from about 20 mm to 60 mm. Some are firm for intensive work, some soft for sensitive areas. A set of nine is only useful if the clinic knows which is which, so ask for the list with diameters, materials and depths.

Only with a measurement point attached. Bar measures pressure, and where it is measured changes what it means, since the figure at the projectile is not the figure at the skin. Most published radial protocols work well below the top of a range like this one, so the headline figure describes the dial rather than the treatment. Ask where the manufacturer measures it and what the transmitter delivers at that setting.

It is the number of pulses the machine will deliver before it stops, adjustable in hundreds up to 9,900. Published protocols for radial treatment commonly use a fraction of that per area, so the upper end of the range is headroom rather than guidance. Set the count against a written protocol, record what was delivered, and keep the number consistent between appointments so you can compare the next session with the last.

Gel on the skin, the chosen head on the handpiece, pressure and rate set for the area and the patient, then the count delivered while the operator works over the tender area and adjusts the angle. Published guidance describes coupling gel as the way to stop energy being lost at the interface between the head and the skin. Afterwards, the head is cleaned, the settings are written down, and the next appointment is booked to the clinic's interval.

The head touches gel and skin, so it is cleaned and dried after every use, and the clinic's infection control policy decides the agent. Gel residue left in the recess of a head hardens and changes how it sits against the skin. With nine heads in circulation, a written routine and a place to store them clean is more useful than a drawer.

In radial units of this type, pe the projectile and the guiding tube inside the handpiece take the impact and are treated as service parts, and the transmitter heads themselves wear at the face. None of that appears on this sheet. Ask for the service interval, the parts involved, and who in the UK does the work and what the turnaround time is.

NICE has issued interventional procedures guidance for extracorporeal shockwave therapy in plantar fasciitis, refractory tennis elbow, and greater trochanteric pain syndrome, each recommending the procedure only with special arrangements for governance, consent, and audit. For calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder,r the guidance found the evidence on efficacy inadequate. Treat the machine as an adjunct within a rehabilitation programme, and set patient expectations based on the guidance rather than the brochure.

Probably. A 2024 review reported average impulse noise from shockwave treatment at around 88 dB, which sits above the lower action value of 80 dB(A) in the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. That triggers an assessment, information for staff and hearing protection on request. A treatment room with a door that closes and a clinician who is not running lists back-to-back all day is the usual answer.

IEC 60601-1 covers general safety and IEC 60601-1-2 covers electromagnetic compatibility for a console like this. The nearest particular standard, IEC 60601-2-36, is written for extracorporeal lithotripsy rather than radial pressure wave devices, so ask the manufacturer which references it applies. On the user side, PUWER 1998, the Noise at Work Regulations, and electrical safety testing cover it, with the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 only if the unit contains a pressure vessel.

The instructions for use carry the list, and it usually includes treatment over malignancy, infection at the site, growth plates in children, anticoagulation and pregnancy near the treated area. Also tell patients that soreness and reddening after a session are common. Request the instructions for use before the first patient, and build the screening questions from them rather than from a supplier's summary.
