ITEM 1.

Security and Issuer


This Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 8”) relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), of Sanuwave Health, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”).  Amendment No. 8 is being filed by David N. Nemelka (the “Reporting Person” or “Mr. Nemelka”) to amend and supplement the Items set forth below of the Reporting Person’s Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 20, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on November 16, 2010, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on November 26, 2010, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on December 7, 2010, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on April 12, 2011, Amendment No. 5 thereto filed on May 3, 2011, Amendment No. 6 thereto filed on January 19, 2012, and Amendment No. 7 thereto filed on December 27, 2012.  All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.


ITEM 4.

Purpose of Transaction


The Reporting Person acquired the Issuer’s Common Stock for investment purposes.  In pursuing such investment purposes, the Reporting Person may further purchase, hold, vote, trade, dispose or otherwise deal in the Common Stock at such times, and in such manner, as he deems advisable to benefit from changes in market prices of the Common Stock, changes in the Issuer's operations, business strategy or prospects, or from sale or merger of the Issuer.  To evaluate such alternatives, the Reporting Person will routinely monitor the Issuer's operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital structure, and prevailing market conditions, as well as alternative investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Person and other investment considerations.  The Reporting Person may discuss such matters with management or directors of the Issuer, other shareholders, industry analysts, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit and other investors.  Such factors and discussions may materially affect, and result in, the Reporting Person modifying his ownership of Common Stock, exchanging information with the Issuer pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements, proposing changes in the Issuer's operations, governance or capitalization, or in proposing one or more of the other actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  As reported herein, the Reporting Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of warrants to acquire additional shares of Common Stock.  The Reporting Person may elect to exercise some or all of the common stock purchase warrants based on various factors including the market price for the Common Stock, the respective exercise prices of the warrants, the respective expiration dates of the warrants and the factors discussed above with respect to the Reporting Person’s evaluation of alternatives.  Except as discussed above, the Reporting Person currently has no plans to engage in the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  


The Reporting Person reserves the right to formulate other plans and/or make other proposals, and take such actions with respect to his investment in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, or acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of all the Common Stock beneficially owned by him, in the public market or privately negotiated transactions.  The Reporting Person may at any time reconsider and change his plans or proposals relating to the foregoing.


ITEM 5.

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of 5,048,510 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 19.9% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock based on the 20,907,536 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 9, 2012 as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012.  In calculating the Reporting Person’s ownership percentage, shares of Common Stock which are subject to options, warrants, call agreements and other rights to purchase, exercisable within 60 days, have been treated as outstanding shares.  The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person consist of the following: (i) 605,000 shares held of record by McKinley Capital, Inc. Roth 401(k) Plan over which the Reporting Person acts as trustee;  (ii) 4,000,000 shares to be acquired by the Reporting Person pursuant to a Stock Subscription Agreement  dated November 27, 2012 between the Reporting Person and the Issuer; (iii) Class A Warrants held by the Reporting Person to purchase 66,755 shares at a price of $4.00 per share at any time on or before September 25, 2014; (iv) Class B Warrants held by the Reporting Person to purchase 66,755 shares at a price of $8.00 per share at any time on or before September 25, 2014; and (v) Class E Warrants held by the Reporting Person to purchase up to 310,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share at any time on or before April 11, 2016.
