1 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE
The BTL-6000 SWT Topline is a state-of-the-art device allowing the application of therapy using non-invasive shockwaves.
Shockwaves are one of the most effective ways to treat pain associated with the musculoskeletal system. Musculoskeletal pain
is currently the second-leading cause of absences in the workplace.
The device is equipped with a color touch screen on the main unit which considerably simplifies its use. The touch screen is
equipped with a stylus (touch-pen) for easy operation of the device. The horizontally orientation of the device allows the
information on the screen to be seen clearly from different servicing positions. Additionally, the brightness of the screen can be
set to match the lighting in the room of the office or the health-care center. The on-screen information will guide the user step-
by-step through the entire therapy process. The therapeutic parameters are easily set using the touch screen buttons and
knobs/keys on the device.
Therapy is easily and efficiently started by simply selecting a diagnosis from an alphabetized list of treatment protocols or by
selecting a therapy program. The treatment parameters can be manually set by the simple use of the touch screen buttons.
Throughout the course of a therapy session, the device will keep the user informed about the therapeutic method in use, the
type of treatment, the total number of shocks to be applied, the number of shocks applied and remaining, the frequency being
used, the intensity and other necessary data.
A time-saving feature of the BTL-6000 SWT Topline is the predefined programs stored in the memory of the main unit. Based on
detailed research and practical use of the device, the well-organized predefined programs will provide recommendations for the
treatment of various conditions.
The BTL-6000 SWT Topline allows the entering of client names and other relevant information into the internal memory of the
device and to link their data with the predefined programs or with the user’s own. When a client has a return visit, simply call up
their name and begin the pre-set therapy.
We also carry a specially-designed cart for the BTL-6000 SWT Topline which is sold separately. The design allows convenient
movement and use of the device. Four stable castors ensure smooth and easy movement of the device in the office or the
health-care center.
For the latest information on BTL products and services, please visit our corporate website at http://www.btlnet.com.
The device consists of two parts: the main unit and the applicator
Main Unit: BTL-6000 SWT Topline which contains the main microcomputer and software for controlling the entire system,in
also includes the user encyclopaedia and the therapy guide.
Applicator – ergonomical applicator simplifies the „course of" the therapy, following the instructions of the main unit.
The BTL-6000 SWT Topline is a state-of-the-art device allowing the application of therapy using non-invasive shockwaves.
Shockwaves are one of the most effective ways to treat pain associated with the musculoskeletal system. Musculoskeletal pain
is currently the second-leading cause of absences in the workplace.
• Main Unit – contains the main microcomputer and software for controlling the entire system
• Applicator – this ergonomically designed applicator will simplify the course of therapy
A shockwave is defined as a wave with a rapid increase of pressure within a very short time and then having a gradual decrease
of pressure with a small negative pressure phase.
Shockwaves are aimed at the affected areas that are the source of chronic pain. The influence of the shockwaves causes to the
dissolution of calcium deposits and leads to better vascularization. The after-effect is relief from the pain.
Outside of the client's body (extra-corporeally), a pressure pulse of high amplitude is generated and its energy is concentrated
on the target area. The pressure pulse travels through a liquid medium gel into the client’s body and penetrates soft tissue
without major energy loss.
The pressure course of the shockwave in real-time in expressively different from the pressure course of the harmonic sound
wave. Shockwaves can be compared to ultrasonic waves which are particularly characterized by a pressure jump change, a
higher amplitude and non-periodicity.
In the shockwave, the positive amplitude is generally much larger than the negative amplitude. The frequency rate of the
shockwaves is usually low (in Hz units) and the eventual cavitation (the disturbance of material consistency and the
development of cavities) will relax. Consequently, there is no threat of energy absorption in the cavitations as is the case with
continuous ultrasound.
A substantial part of the shockwave energy penetrates into the liquid (of the organism) with a great positive pressure pulse. Its
diffusion is only limited by the actual tissue absorption and eventual reflections on acoustic non-homogeneities.
• High positive pressure amplitude: 10 to 1000 MPa = 100 to 1000 Bar (100x atmospheric pressure)
For therapeutic applications, these values are lower, especially the maximum pressure amplitude. The maximum pressure
amplitude is about 15 MPa, the pulse length is 10 to 20 µs, and the frequency of the applied shockwave is 1 to 15Hz. The
treatment is generally carried out without local anaesthesia and lasts about 15 to 30 minutes. During the first week after
treatment, the client should avoid all physical activities that could excessively strain the treated area.
Several types of generators have been developed for shockwave therapy, each producing shockwaves with varied
characteristics. Each type of generation method induces shockwaves with different time progressions and spatial arrangements.
The BTL-6000 SWT Topline uses the ballistic principle of shockwave generation.
The effects of the shockwaves mainly occur at sites where there is a change in impedance, such as the bone-soft tissue
interface.
There is an improvement in the regeneration and repair of tissues in the following areas and the achievement of the following
effects:
• Cellular: Increase in cell membrane transmittance by improving ionic channels activity, stimulation of cell division,
stimulation of cellular cytokines production.
• Reproduction of vessels in the area of tendons and muscles: Improvement of blood circulation and MTB, increase in
concentration of growth factor beta 1, chemotactic and mitogenic effect on osteoblasts.
• Analgesic effect:
• By the targeted application of the shockwaves, stress to the surrounding tissues is quite insignificant.
• The body is not burdened by pharmaceuticals, except the short-term effect of local anaesthesia, if used.
• The possibility of preventing the necessity of surgical intervention and its relevant hazards.
• Thanks to ambulatory treatment, work absences are reduced to a minimum. Additionally, training routine absences for
sport athletes is likewise reduced.
• For some indications, such as Tennis Elbow, there is really no other effective treatment.
• Loss of bodily sensation or itching can temporarily occur in the treated area
• Hematoma
• Petechiae
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Achillodynia/Achillobursitis
• Inflammations and calcification of shoulder joint tendons.
• Pain in the groin area.
• Epicondylitis (Tennis and Golf Elbow)
• Apex Patellae Syndrome and Tibial Stress Syndrome.
• Pain in the hip area and/or the iliotibial tract.
• Jumper's Knee (Patellar Tendinitis)
• Pain in the hamstring insertions.
• Pain on the palmar side of the wrist.
• Exostoses of small hand joints from Grade 1 Arthrosis.
• Acupuncture
• Pain trigger-points or painful points in muscles.
• Application to certain tissues: The eyes and the surrounding area, the myocardium, the spinal cord, the gonads, the
kidneys and the liver
• Blood disorders, coagulation problems or the use of anticoagulants
• Blood thinning medications (Warfarinization)
• Polypus in the area of treatment
• Pregnancy
• Thrombosis
• Tumor diseases
• Polyneuropathy
• Acute inflammation
• Inapplicable on areas of the body and organs with possible gas content

• Provides proper and exactly specified contact of the applicator with the treated tissue during therapy.
• Minimizes the transmission of reverse shocks to the hand of the therapist due to the built-in air damper
An integral part of the applicator is the ergonomic hand rest (13) which provides a comfortable grip and prevents unwanted
slippage of the hand during therapy. The ergonomic hand rest swivels and can be set into the desired position at any time.
The ergonomically-shaped handle allows the therapist to grip the applicator comfortably in various different positions. The
orientation can be varied according to the type of applied therapy and the personal preferences of the therapist whether they are
left-handed/right-handed or male/female.
The ergonomic shape of the handle offers the therapist sufficient support during the application. This reduces the tiring of the
therapist hands during the course of therapy.
These examples illustrate the application of shockwaves in different areas and several of ways of holding the applicator.
