    DURING A DEVICE DEMONSTRATION, A SALES REPRESENTATIVE WAS TREATING A VOLUNTEER (A "MOCK PATIENT" WITHOUT PRE-EXISTING NECK PROBLEMS) NEXT TO THE CERVICAL SPINE (HEIGHT C3-C4) WITH THE RADIAL SHOCKWAVE DEVICE D-ACTOR 100 WITH SPINE APPLICATOR TIP 3 AT 2.0 BAR WITH 2000 SHOTS. D-ACTOR IS A DEVICE FOR PRESCRIPTION USE ONLY UNDER (21 CFR 801 SUBPART D), I.E., FOR USE ONLY BY A LICENSED PRACTITIONER (I.E. IFU INTENDED EXCLUSIVELY FOR USE BY HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL). THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE IS NOT A LICENSED PRACTITIONER, NOR A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL, SO HE SHOULD NOT HAVE USED THE DEVICE ON HUMANS. THE VOLUNTEER WAS NOT OFFERED EAR PROTECTION AS RECOMMENDED IN THE IFU. IT HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTED THAT EVEN THOUGH THE VOLUNTEER`S TEETH WERE CHATTERING DURING TREATMENT, SHE HAS NOT BEEN ASKED FOR FEEDBACK REGARDING TREATMENT INTENSITY OR PAIN / DISCOMFORT. APPARENTLY, THE CHOSEN ENERGY LEVEL / PATIENT POSITIONING WAS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THAT PARTICULAR PATIENT. AS PER IFU, TREATMENT SHOULD ALWAYS START AT A LOW ENERGY LEVEL THAT SHOULD BE INCREASED GRADUALLY DURING TREATMENT. FURTHERMORE, TREATMENT WAS APPLIED TO THE SPINAL COLUMN AND/OR VERTEBRAE AND THE IFU ASKS USERS TO TAKE CAUTION
