FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

INTRODUCTION
In this document, pressure pulses are single pulses of ultrasonic energy of up to 25 µs duration
which have only one significant positive and one negative peak carrying more than 95 % of the
energy (see definitions). Focused pressure pulses (sometimes called "strongly focused") are
characterized by a peak acoustic pressure in a point in the sound field distant from the source
aperture. Parameters and measurement methods for focusing pressure pulse sources are
described in IEC 61846. The parameters and measurement methods of any other types of
pressure pulses, i.e. weakly focused and non-focused pressure pulses, are described in this
document.
Devices with non-focusing/weakly focusing pressure pulse sources are used for the
extracorporeal treatment of soft tissue pain situations in, for example, the shoulder, the heel
spur or the tennis elbow and for trigger point therapy. Further, still under research are
applications in orthopaedics, pain therapy, treatment of angina pectoris, stem cell therapy of
infarcted cardiac areas, treatment of erectile dysfunction, of cellulitis, and wound repair.
The patients receive between 3 to 5 treatments of 10 min to 20 min duration with approximately
or on average 1 000 pulses. Each pressure pulse consists of one significant compressional
part and a trailing negative part and has an overall duration of less than 25 µs. In present
devices, 1 to 35 pulses per second are released to the target tissue. The pulses are usually
applied to the patient by a manually guided hand piece. Targeting is commonly done by asking
the patient to direct the pulses to the point of maximum pain.
The first use of non-focused/weakly focused pressure pulses to treat soft tissue pain situations
was described in 1999. The first devices used the ballistic principle for the generation of the
pressure pulses, which is based on an "air-gun" like acceleration of a projectile by pressurized
air. The projectile impinges on the rear side of a larger metal applicator, the front side of which
instantly releases one fast pressure pulse to the patient. Today, most of the devices on the
market use this design and often are called “radial shock wave devices” or “ballistic sources”
although a true shock wave is not created. Also, other pulse generating principles are being
applied including variations of common lithotripter sources (electromagnetic, piezoelectric,
electrohydraulic).
Before this first occurrence, focused pressure pulses were used clinically beginning in 1993
for the treatment of shoulder calcifications, tennis elbow pain and heel spur pain, initially using
lithotripter-like electrohydraulic, electromagnetic or piezoelectric sources. These focused
pressure pulses can be characterized by IEC 61846, but the parameters described therein are
not sufficiently applicable to characterize the parameters and fields of weakly focused and non-
focused pressure pulses and their propagation characteristics.
This document specifies methods of measuring and characterizing the acoustic pressure
pulses generated by non-focusing/weakly focusing pressure pulse equipment and their
propagation characteristics.
