Users of the enPuls Version 2.0 shockwave treatment device must be trained in how to
use the system properly and have the appropriate skills.
Any treatment instructions regarding treatment location, duration and strength require
medical knowledge and should only be given by authorised physicians, therapists and
health paraprofessionals. It is imperative that these instructions are followed.
Patients currently under treatment that reduces or changes blood clotting or lengthens
the time it takes for blood to clot (such as aspirin treatments) should consult their
therapist about the potential risks associated with this treatment because the
application of radial shockwaves may result in increased haemorrhages and bruising.
Shockwaves scatter in air pockets and create reflections that may have negative
effects. Therefore, treatment should never be applied over the lungs (intercostal
spaces) or the gastrointestinal area.
Do not use in wet areas. If it is used in wet areas, significant damage to the unit may
result and patients and users may be at risk of injury.

Operating Instructions
8.1 Description of the Device 8
Handpiece The handpiece (7) contains the shock wave generator, a fan to dissipate heat and the
slot for the various applicator heads. It is connected to the control unit (1).
Note: The shock wave generator in the handpiece is an expendable part and must be
replaced after a designated working life its functionality decreases over time.
Zimmer MedizinSysteme GmbH guarantees that each shock wave generator can be
used for at least 2 million shocks. Depending on the frequency and types of uses,
more than 2 million shocks can sometimes be delivered.
For more information on the need to replace the shock wave generator, see Section
18.
Before using the handpiece on the patient, it is essential that one of the applicator
heads is screwed tightly into the handpiece.
When the temperature reaches a critical level, a cooling phase is initiated and a
Caution message is displayed. No pulse output is possible.
After confirming the message with “OK”, the therapy screen comes to the foreground,
with the message “Cooling Down” in the status line.
Once the handpiece has returned to the operating temperature, “Ready” replaces
“Cooling Down” in the status bar and therapy can be resumed.

Operating Instructions
8.1 Description of the Device 8
Applicator heads Three different applicator heads are available for therapy.
Changing the To change the applicator heads, hold the handpiece in one hand and unscrew the
applicator heads applicator head counter-clockwise with the other hand. Then screw in the desired
head clockwise until it stops.
Note: The applicator heads are expendable parts and must be replaced after a certain
number of uses (see Section 15.2 Maintenance).
Footswitch Place the footswitch so that it can be easily reached during therapy. The footswitch
can be used in any direction so exact placing is not necessary.
To avoid damage, ensure that only slight pressure is exerted on the switch. The
operation is done with the ball of the foot, not the heel.
The switch has no locking mechanism, i.e. it is only activated when pressure is
applied.
Page 12
Operating Instructions
8.2 Basics of Operation 8
Therapy Hold the handpiece as shown below.
enPuls Version 2.0 operates with mechanical energy transmitted to the patient via a
handpiece.
To do this, the handpiece is placed on the area or point of treatment with the
applicator head held vertically.
When the shockwave is activated, the operator can work either steadily on a single
site or dynamically over an area. Using enPuls lotion (listed under accessories) is
recommended to reduce friction on the skin.
The weight of the handpiece means that it is usually not necessary to apply pressure
to the treatment area. The handpiece is placed on the treatment area and held
loosely in position with one hand. If required, additional pressure may be applied in
the direction of the tissue and the application angle can be varied.
!
When using enPuls Version 2.0 lotion or other lubricants, the applicator head must be
Caution covered with a silicone cap to protect it.
Note: Despite the high self-domping properties of the handpiece due to weight and design
vibrations may cause strain to the operator's hand.

a Theoretically, it is not possible to exactly predict the field strengths of fixed transmitters such as base
stations for radio telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio stations, AM and FM radio and TV
broadcasting. To determine the electromagnetic environment in relation to the fixed transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location where the enPuls
