Both use pneumatic wave generation. The EMS Swiss DolorClast Radial is described as “Pneumatic ballistic radial”, the BTL-6000 RSWT as “Pneumatic radial”.
Which is cheaper, the EMS Swiss DolorClast Radial or the BTL-6000 RSWT?
Neither publishes a purchase price, so both need a written quote. Prices change and estimates are not quotes, so confirm both in writing.
Are the EMS Swiss DolorClast Radial and the BTL-6000 RSWT FDA cleared?
FDA records located: for the EMS Swiss DolorClast Radial, 510(k) K220538 (Class I. Minor aches and pains, temporary increase in circulation, connective tissue activation); for the BTL-6000 RSWT, no record located. A record covers one configuration and one indication, and never transfers to another model, so check it against the exact configuration you are quoted.
How do I choose between the EMS Swiss DolorClast Radial and the BTL-6000 RSWT?
Start with the clinical job, then ask both vendors for the same five things in writing: the exact model, revision, and which accessories are included at that price; contract term, APR, total payments, and the buyout option at the end; handpiece and consumable life, and what a replacement costs; warranty coverage and US service turnaround time; the exact FDA clearance number and the current labelling for the configuration being quoted.
