Detailed description
This is a single arm, multi-center study to assess the safety and efficacy of a form of extracorporeally induced lithotripsy, called the Enhanced Lithotripsy System, to treat urinary stones. Subjects will be treated up to 2 times with the Enhanced Lithotripsy System and followed for 90 days after the last treatment session.

One urinary stone eligible for treatment (minimum) that is: 1. apparent on a computed tomography (CT) scan within 14 days prior to study enrollment 2. located within the renal pelvis or ureter 3. is ≥ 3 mm in at least one dimension and ≤ 10 mm in maximum 4. less than or equal to 10mm in maximum dimension and has an area less than 56mm2 as estimated by pre-procedure CT dimension as estimated by pre- procedure CT 5. Participants with two or more stones in one or both kidneys are admissible and must meet the following inclusion criteria: 1. Number of stones (≥ 3 mm) present on treated side is 2 or less 2. Untreated stones must not be anticipated to require treatment within 30 days of enrollment, as determined by the investigator
