Gymna ShockMaster 500 vs BTL-6000 RSWT: common questions
What is the difference between the Gymna ShockMaster 500 and the BTL-6000 RSWT?
Both the Gymna ShockMaster 500 and the BTL-6000 RSWT put their peak energy at the applicator surface, so they are built for the same clinical job and compare fairly. Both use pneumatic wave generation. The Gymna ShockMaster 500 is described as “Pneumatic radial”, the BTL-6000 RSWT as “Pneumatic radial”.
Which is cheaper, the Gymna ShockMaster 500 or the BTL-6000 RSWT?
Only the Gymna ShockMaster 500 has a published purchase figure ($17,850 at one US seller, listed sold out); the BTL-6000 RSWT's price is not published. Prices change and estimates are not quotes, so confirm both in writing.
Are the Gymna ShockMaster 500 and the BTL-6000 RSWT FDA cleared?
FDA records located: for the Gymna ShockMaster 500, no record located; 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 Gymna ShockMaster 500 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.
