MALFUNCTIONS 

 

With reference to the safety of the treatment, a malfunction could lead to voltage values in 
the applicator  out of  the operating range, but the user  is able  to evaluate at any moment 

this  event  (however  remote)  also  during the treatment,  and  in any  case  the  danger  is  still 
very  limited  because  the  extreme  temperatures  attainable  are  not  so  high  as  to  cause 

significant damage before it takes place the normal patient’s defensive reaction (distancing 
from the applicator). 

In case of failure, the only instance in which the risk may be modest, 

but  important  for  the  patient,  can  occur  when  the  patient  is  desensitized  to  the  thermic 
sensation,  but  this  is  just  one  of  the  cases  where  it  is  foreseen  that  the  operator  uses  a 

special care.

 

The  actions  of  the  user  and  of  the  maintenance  technician  are  therefore  essential  for  the 

safe and proper conduct of the device. 

 

For  any  real  or  suspected  malfunction,  contact
