How to Keep Your Shockwave Therapy Machine in Top Shape: Essential Maintenance Tips and Longevity Insights

Proper maintenance and understanding the lifespan of your shockwave therapy machine are crucial for ensuring its longevity and optimal performance. Regular care not only extends the life of the equipment but also ensures that each therapy session remains effective and safe. Here’s a comprehensive guide on maintaining your machine, understanding its lifespan, and the warranty details.

Maintenance Tips for Your Shockwave Therapy Machine

  1. Regular Cleaning and Inspection:

    • Handle Maintenance: Clean the inner tube of the handle regularly, especially if the machine is used frequently (e.g., over 100,000 times) or if it has been idle for a month. Use a cleaning cloth and apply lubricating oil to maintain the handle’s performance.
    • Coupling Agent Residue: After each session, wipe off any residue on the skin and clean the working head with a hot towel to prevent buildup that could affect performance.
    • Gel Pad Inspection: Check the gel pad for any signs of damage such as discoloration, cracks, or deformation. Replace the gel pad if necessary to maintain effective shockwave penetration.
  2. Handle and Bullet Replacement:

    • Bullet Maintenance: Inspect the bullet inside the handle after approximately 2 million uses. If it shows signs of damage, replace it by turning it counterclockwise to release it, then apply lubricating oil to the new bullet before reinserting it.
    • Sealing Rings and Colloids: Regularly check all sealing rings and yellow colloids for damage. Replace any damaged parts promptly to prevent leaks and maintain the machine’s efficiency.
  3. Automatic Water Outlet:

    • Drainage: The machine has an automatic water outlet system to remove excess water from internal storage. Ensure the drainage pipe is properly connected and check for any blockages. This feature helps prevent water buildup, which can affect the machine’s performance.
  4. Fuse Replacement:

    • Fuse Care: If the fuse is damaged, use a screwdriver to open the fuse holder and replace it with the spare fuse provided. The fuse model is F10A 250V. Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the power supply before attempting any replacements.
  5. Avoid External Interference:

    • Power Line Usage: Do not use the machine in parallel with other heavy equipment on the same power line to avoid electrical interference that can damage the machine.

Lifespan and Warranty Information

  1. Expected Lifespan:

    • General Use: With proper maintenance, a shockwave therapy machine can last several years. The lifespan can be influenced by usage frequency, adherence to maintenance schedules, and overall care.
    • Component Lifespan: Key components, such as the handle and bullet, have specific lifespans and should be replaced as recommended to ensure continued effective performance.
  2. Warranty Coverage:

    • Duration: All items purchased from KMSALSER are covered by a 2-year warranty. This warranty typically includes coverage for manufacturing defects and issues arising from normal use.
    • Support: If you encounter any problems during use, contact the support team for assistance. They will provide solutions and ensure that your machine remains in optimal condition.
