Experimental device trial launches – safety first

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant, breastfeeding, plans to become pregnant during the study, or unwilling to practice birth control during participation in the study. * Unsuitable candidate for the study, based on the opinion of the investigator (e.g. cognitive impairment), such that participation might create undue risk to the subject or interfere with the subject\'s ability to comply with the protocol requirements or complete the study. * Subjects who, at entry, are known to have alternative treatment (e.g. surgery) planned within the next 8 weeks. * History of severe osteoporosis (prior DXA scan with Z-score of -3.0 or T-score less than or equal to -2.5 and prior fracture history) or other underlying bone disease/disorder. * Chronic rheumatologic condition and/or history of chronic oral steroid use. * Type II diabetes, other chronic underlying disease. * Morbid obesity (Body Mass Index greater than or equal to 35) at screening. * Has clinically significant renal disease defined as having an estimated creatinine clearance of greater than or equal to 40mL/min at screening. * History of osteomyelitis in the injured area on which the treatment is to be administered at screening. * Has a current history of substance abuse (current is defined as within 120 days of screening). * Has evidence of a prior fracture or BSI within the last 6 months in the same area as the current injury. * Has active cellulitis or wound either at the injury site, or in the surrounding area at screening. * Has an injury requiring surgical intervention at screening. * Current/active DSM-V eating disorder diagnosis. * History of vascular insufficiency. * History of neurologic insufficiency. * History of coagulopathy, including previous deep vein thrombosis within six months of Visit 1; and/or therapy with anticoagulation medication (e.g. warfarin). * Radiation treatment within 120 days of Visit 1. * Presence of malignant disease with or without metastases. * Has a life expectancy of less than or equal to 2 years. * History of sickle cell anemia. * Has a known immunodeficiency disorder to include, but not be limited to: AIDS, HIV, etc. * Has participated in another investigation within 30 days of Visit 1. * Has previously received extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) with a SANUWAVE device.
