Information on electromagnetic compatibility
We would like to point out that due to EN 60601-1 on the electromagnetic compatibility of
electromedical devices that:
•
medical, electric devices are subject to particular precautionary measures and so must
be operated according to the requirements of these operating instructions.
•
portable and mobile high-frequency communication facilities may affect the functionality
of electrical devices.
•
in order to comply with the EMV requirements of EN 60601-1, only original feed lines,
accessories and spare parts may be used.
Only use manufacturer approved mains cables to operate the device. If you
require a new cable, please contact the manufacturer. Operating the device
using a different cable is not permitted.

Safety notices
The device is not authorised for operation in potentially explosive areas.
Before every application, the operator must make sure of the functional safety and proper
condition of the device.
Improper handling, maintenance and care may lead to premature
deterioration and malfunctions.
This can result in a reduced product life.
Therefore, please clean and care for the device regularly and properly and
have it sent for servicing regularly (observe service indicator or at the latest
within 24 months)!
Damaged functional parts can cause damage or injuries to persons or
objects. Furthermore this may result in (even greater) damage to your device.
Stop working immediately and disconnect the device from the mains when
functional parts are damaged and contact customer service.
Electromagnetic fields may affect the functionality of implanted
systems (e.g. pacemakers).
Please ask your patients before beginning the treatment whether they
have such a system.
Due to the complex interactions between electric devices and mobile
telephones, it is possible that mobile phones that are switched on may affect
the device, even though the device meets the applicable requirements
relating to electromagnetic fields.
Do not use your mobile phone while working and also inform your patients
that their mobile phones should be switched off during treatment.
Remove electronic devices, which could cause interaction
(e.g. hearing aids, etc.) while using the device.
Otherwise, the distance between the device and the upper part of the body
of the person to be treated must be at least 50 cm, in order to rule out any
malfunctions.
If you put the handpiece down there is risk of injury when reaching for the
handpiece. Injuries from used instruments may result in infections.
Please take care when setting down the handpiece so that you do not
injure yourself.
