TMC-ESWL

Description

This eswl system itself is built on a custom module-based architecture with an ability to customise into multiple treatment modes. TMC-X4 uses design and concepts that have been specially made for making the treatment far more easier. The X4 also uses some treatment modes for the first time in the ESWL treatment history, making their way beyond the legacy ESWL environment, that too, naturally. For example, the "Respiration multi-Mode" (RmM). Making use of the systems ability to be painless a bust of shockwaves hit the calculus on exhale. This stone-destructive multi-mode method allows you to fragment renal stones faster and with ease, it also works with pin-point accuracy as in the exhale mode the stone becomes stationery for a few moments.

Other features include an all-new error free stone focalisation mechanism that incorporates the latest treatment table functionality, but can also fall back to your legasy method that by passes this feature. You can choose between Auto and Manual methods, And can be used to make your treatment more sophisticated that handles the treatment process without having to wait for time-consuming legacy methods.

If the "TMC-X4" interests you then read further → ESWL Introduction →Few Technical Specifications → Commercial Information:

Brief introduction: ESWL is the recommended therapy for around 80% of all stones, because it is safe, quick, effective and non-invasive. The effectiveness of ESWL depends largely on the composition and size of the stone. For stones measuring less than or equal to 2.5 cm, success rates are around 94%. (As observed on TMC Lithotripters manufactured by TMC Europa Ltd)

Intended Use: ESWL works best for all sorts of kidney stones measuring between 5 mm and 25 mm and for ureteral stones in the middle and upper third. Softer stones such as uric acid stones etc. disintegrate very easily however hard stones like calcium oxalate monohydrate or cystine stones require multiple sittings.

Side-effect: Some patients will see blood in their urine for a time. This is normal as the stone particles pass. Occasionally, Discomfort or fever may occur as the stone pieces pass.

 

Contraindications:

Absolute contraindications to extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) include the following:

 

  • Acute urinary tract infection or urosepsis
  • Uncorrected bleeding disorders or coagulopathies
  • Pregnancy
  • Uncorrected obstruction distal to the stone

Relative contraindications to extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) include the following:

  • Body habitus: Morbid obesity and orthopaedic or spinal deformities may complicate or prevent proper positioning. In these situations, the patient positioning in advance should be done to ensure the practicality of the approach.
  • Renal ectopy or malformations (e.g., horseshoe kidneys and pelvic kidneys)
  • Complex intrarenal drainage (e.g., infundibular stenosis)
  • Poorly controlled hypertension (due to increased bleeding risk)
  • Gastrointestinal disorders: In rare cases, these may be exacerbated after ESWL treatment.
  • Renal insufficiency: Stone-free rates in patients with renal insufficiency (57%) (serum creatinine level of 2–2.9 mg/dL) were significantly lower than in patients with better renal function (66%) (Serum creatinine level <2 mg/dL).

"TMC-X4"-- A technical Introduction

The TMC-X4 is a fully integrated Extra-corporeal Shock Wave Lithotripter with state-of-the-art design combining proven 'TMC' painless Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) technology, advanced X-ray imaging, and highly automated operation options.

Communication

The graphical human machine interface of the TMC-X4 allows easy and quick communication with all functions like, lithotripsy settings, X-ray operation, patient stretcher positioning and shock wave energy control. The design is easy to learn and requires minimal training. The access to the motorised movements of the treatment table, therapy unit and X-ray U-arm are provided by the simple press of a button. Easy to understand and use icons and menus not only allow quick familiarity with the system, but also provide complete details on system health, usage statistics, error log and troubleshooting

The ESWL - TMC-X4

The 'X4' has its own little brain inside the main unit, which has greatly extended its capabilities. The system has an automatically adjusted shockwave energy control and X-ray exposure control, which provides improved treatment efficacy, patient comfort and faster therapy process. The 'X4' keeps a the track of your system and reminds you whenever the consumables like Electrode, Coupling Membrane, SWG, Conductive fluid etc. needs to be changed. If any sub-system or module of the X4 misbehaves or develops a fault, the system will warn the operator to retune or rectify the same, in order to prevent any major fault.

Based upon its 23 years of medical experience, TMC has advanced its shock wave lithotripsy to the highest level of efficacy with minimal side effects. The Vega-III Ultra-Life shockwave generator provides extensive energy range augmented up to 1400 Bars at the point of F2 and delivers superior fragmentation power. The dual focus ellipso-parabolloid reflector is specifically designed to harness optimal benefits, its high penetration depth and optimised focal volume provides exceptional results across a wide range of indications.

X-Ray Localisation

The 'TMC-X4' uses a U-Arm mounted X-ray and Image intensifier system as a default method for Stone Localisation. If you need Ultrasound localisation it can be provided on request.

X-ray Localisation

X-ray Localisation has been a proven golden standard for pin-point accurate targeting of calculi for Shock Wave Lithotripsy. The TMC-X4 incorporates specifically designed fluoroscopy X-ray U-Arm and an optional ultrasound attachment which can be used for precise stone positioning and real time monitoring respectively. Precise targeting can be achieved in the 'X4' due to the iso centric design of the fluoroscopic U-Arm, which is pre-aligned at the point of F2, reducing the chances of human error in focalising with a separate therapy head and imaging system, like a C-arm

The X-Ray dose administered to the patient during the treatment on The TMC-X4 has been highly minimised, by reducing the distance between the patient and the image intensifier. The U-Arm automatically swivels to provide view in two projections, straight and oblique for precise stone localisation. The calculi are adjusted using two projection directions, while the view to the focus area is maintained, even for all intermediary positions. The high resolution CCD camera and Color LCD monitor provides superior high contrast images which can be easily viewed at a wide range and angle.
