Maintaining Your Longest Focus Shockwave Therapy Machine: A Step-by-Step Guide

The Longest focus shockwave therapy machine is a powerful tool for physiotherapy and rehabilitation, but like any sophisticated piece of equipment, it requires regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure consistent performance and extend its lifespan. This article will guide you through the essential steps for cleaning and maintaining the shockwave handpiece, specifically the LGT-2500X model.

Metal Pipe Cleaning

First, it's important to clean the metal pipe using appropriate materials. Begin by dripping lighter fluid (such as Zippo or Zorro brand) into the metal pipe. Remember that lighter fluid is flammable and follow safety precautions. Using the equipped cleaning brush, scrub the inside of the metal pipe thoroughly to remove any residue.

Bullet Cleaning and Lubrication

Next, address the bullet within the handpiece. Use tweezers to pick the bullet and submerge it fully in lighter fluid. After a few seconds, remove it and wipe it clean with a soft, dust-free cloth. Both the bullet and the metal pipe need periodic lubrication. Apply a small amount of lubricating oil evenly to the bullet's surface, using a dust-free cloth underneath to absorb any excess oil. Apply a small amount of lubricating oil into the metal pipe. Then, erect the metal pipe and drop the lubricated bullet into the pipe. Repeat this step several times to ensure proper lubrication and movement.

Yellow Spacer Replacement

The yellow spacer inside the handpiece can wear out over time. Replace the yellow spacer when it is significantly worn. Remove the old spacer with tweezers and insert a new one. Secure it in the correct position using a screwdriver.

Rubber Seal Replacement

Inspect the rubber seal for any signs of deformation. If deformation is evident, it must be replaced. Carefully remove the old rubber seal using a screwdriver and install a new one.

O-Ring Replacement

Lastly, check the O-rings located in the transmitter for deformation or wear. Unscrew the transmitter to access the O-rings. Remove any damaged O-rings with tweezers and replace them with new ones, ensuring they are correctly positioned. Carefully screw the transmitter back together. Use a 22mm wrench to unscrew the threaded connector. Remember to wear nylon gloves to prevent scratches from the thread. Replace the O rings on the connector if it is deformed or worn. Remove the O-ring with tweezers, replace the new one, and position it to the right place with tweezers. Finally, tighten the threaded connector using a 22mm wrench.

By following these steps, you can properly maintain your Longest focus shockwave therapy machine and ensure its longevity, consistent performance, and reliability, providing optimal treatment outcomes for your patients.
