Shockwave Machine Maintenance & Wear parts

Shockwave machines contain parts that wear with repeated use, especially in pneumatic or ballistic handpieces.

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.
