6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
6.1 Handpiece Cleaning and Inspection
You should ensure the handpiece is clean prior to use on a patient. Ideally, the handpiece should be
cleaned immediately after use, and then stored in such a manner that the handpiece is not likely to get
dirty until needed again. Clean all plastic and metal surfaces of the handpiece.
To clean the handpiece, moisten a towel or cloth with a solution of warm water mixed with soap or a mild,
non-abrasive detergent. Thoroughly wipe all surfaces of the handpiece. For the RF handpieces in partic-
ular, ensure that you wipe around the contact nodes. After cleaning with soap, the handpieces should be
treated with a disinfection solution, such as a 1-3% glutaraldehyde solution or 0.2% peracetic acid solution.
The handpiece should be visibly wet and remain so for at least 5 minutes. You may need to reapply the
disinfection solution to achieve this. After the five minutes, use a new dry towel or cloth to pat-dry the
handpiece. Ensure the handpiece is fully dry before next use.
After each use, look over the handpiece and check for any flaws that might appear, such as cracks or build
up on the handpiece contact surface, exposed or worn wiring, or unusual discoloration of the handpiece. If
any of these are observed, contact Ideal Curves or your distributor to arrange for a replacement.
WARNING
:
DO NOT immerse the handpiece. Avoid getting the connector wet that is on the
end of the handpiece.
WARNING
:
DO NOT use the handpiece if it is damaged, cracked, or shows signs of flaws.
Prior to use, it may be helpful to briefly wipe down the handpiece with a cloth moistened with an isopropyl
alcohol solution.
CAUTION:
Ensure the alcohol has fully evaporated before using.
6.2 Unit Cleaning
The surfaces of the Ultimate Contour unit and cords may be cleaned using a towel or cloth moistened
with a solution of warm water mixed with soap or a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Before cleaning the
unit, make sure to unplug the power supply cord from the wall outlet. Wipe the surfaces down as needed.
We recommend that a dry towel be used to dry off the unit after cleaning. Avoid letting pooled moisture
collect on the unit.
WARNING:
DO NOT
immerse or spray water onto the unit. Avoid forcing excess liquid into the
fan vents on the unit.
