Regular inspection, cleaning and timely replacement of wear parts help keep the machine working consistently and reduce unexpected downtime.
Maintenance is not optional
Pneumatic/ballistic systems contain components that repeatedly absorb mechanical impacts. Output consistency and safety depend on following the manufacturer’s inspection, cleaning and replacement schedule.
Common service items
- Projectile/bullet
- Sealing rings
- Barrel/guide components
- Applicator heads
- Handpiece assemblies
- Filters, cups or moisture-management parts where fitted
Use model-specific intervals
Shock Vitalize publishes model-specific maintenance guidance and instructional videos. For example, EVO’s product page lists cycle-based intervals for several internal parts. Do not transfer those numbers to a different model without confirmation.
Keep a service log
Record pulse counts, part replacements, faults and cleaning dates. For a clinic, this makes downtime, warranty and total cost easier to manage.
