Which documentation should guide the purchase?
Review the current US instructions for the exact equipment configuration before approving clinical use, accessories, room controls, or staff training. Manufacturer documentation supports product facts; clinical research addresses its stated study population and methods. A study does not extend a device indication. [1]
Intelect Focus Shockwave has a US indication for heel pain due to chronic proximal plantar fasciitis in adults with failed alternative conservative therapies for at least six months. Review radial pressure wave labeling independently; do not transfer a condition claim between systems. [1]
