STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra vs Medispec ED1000
Both the STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra and the Medispec ED1000 concentrate their energy at a focal point inside tissue, so they are built for the same clinical job and compare fairly.

Both the STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra and the Medispec ED1000 concentrate their energy at a focal point inside tissue, so they are built for the same clinical job and compare fairly. The STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra uses electromagnetic wave generation; the Medispec ED1000 uses electrohydraulic. The STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra is described as “Focused electromagnetic (SEPIA)”, the Medispec ED1000 as “Focused low-intensity electrohydraulic”.
Which is cheaper, the STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra or the Medispec ED1000?
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 STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra and the Medispec ED1000 FDA cleared?
FDA records located: for the STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra, PMA P080028 (Chronic proximal plantar fasciitis in adults, after six or more months of failed conservative care) and 510(k) K202112 (Diabetic foot ulcers); for the Medispec ED1000, 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 STORZ DUOLITH SD1 T-TOP ultra and the Medispec ED1000?
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.
