5.5
Checking equipment
!
Conduct a visual inspection of
the
equipment:
- Are there any visible signs of external
damage (e.g. bends in the connecting
cable, a loosened cap near the cable
connection)?
- Are there any exposed cables?
- Are the safety cartridge and the needles
correctly aligned?
!
Switch on the SOL Nova and conduct
a noise test: Can you hear any unusual
operating noises, or is the unit running
loudly?
!
If you detect anything unusual, refer to
chapters “For questions or problems”
and “Disclaimer of warranties” on
page
32.
!
If the SOL Nova is no longer operating
safely, take it out of service and consult
your local specialist retailer.

Using the SOL Nova
6.1
Setting the needle protrusion
CAUTION
Risk of injury from excessive protrusion
of needle
A large needle protrusion permits
a deep piercing depth. If needle
protrusion and piercing depth are
excessive, this can damage the
subcutaneous layer.
!
Start with just a short length of
needle protruding.
!
Switch on the power.
!
Adjust the needle protrusion while the
SOL Nova is switched on; to do this,
turn the handle.
Turning clockwise increases the
protrusion of the needle:
max.
Turning
anti-clockwise
reduces
the
protrusion of the needle:
min.
!
Check the needle protrusion on the SOL
Nova.
If the needle protrusion changes
accidentally during operation because
the handle does not remain fixed
in position, then clean the inside of
the handle, the thread of the drive,
the grooves and the small O-ring
thoroughly (see Page
30). If the
problem persists, replace the small
O-ring in addition (see Page
30).
