LITHOTRIPSY DEVICE AND TEST METHOD FOR OPERATING A LITHOTRIPSY DEVICE

摘要

The invention is based on a lithotripsy device, in particular an intracorporeal lithotripsy device, with at least one ultrasonic unit (10a; 10b) which has at least one sonotrode (12a; 12b), at least one ultrasonic generator (14a) which is designed to provide ultrasonic waves, and at least one ultrasonic horn (16a; 16b; 16h), which is designed to focus and at least indirectly transmit the ultrasonic waves from the ultrasonic generator (14a) to the sonotrode (12a; 12b), and with at least one projectile unit (18a-h) which has at least one linearly movably mounted projectile (20a; 20b; 20c; 20e; 20g, 20h), which is designed to act on the sonotrode (12a; 12b) at least indirectly in at least one operating state. It is proposed that the projectile (20a; 20b; 20c; 20e; 20g, 20h) is movably mounted in the area of the ultrasonic horn (16a; 16b; 16h).
