Cleaning and disinfection
Unplug the power cord of the Satellite unit before beginning all cleaning and care!
Please ensure that you do not use sharp or caustic agents (e.g. acetone) when cleaning the
plastic parts. Avoid getting moisture in the housing. A damp cloth is the best cleaning tool.
To disinfect the device, use a soft cloth that has been dampened with a mild DGHM-appro-
ved [DGHM=Deutsche Gesellschaft für Hygiene und Mikrobiologie=German Hygiene and
Microbiology Association] disinfecting agent.
Always use a damp cloth for cleaning and disinfection – never flush water over the
device. Do not use a solvent!
If you work with an applicator, sterilise the applicator after each use in order to avoid
transmitting infection to the patient.
Calibration and safety check
Your Satellite does not contain internal parts or components that need to be serviced by
the user. Thus, there is no reason to open the device housing.
In order to comply with the regulation EN 60825-1 “Safety in laser facilities”, your Physiola-
ser Olympic unit, along with all probes and accessories, should be sent to the manufacturer
for checking and recalibration no longer than one year after you begin to use it.
Please be aware that the annual safety check is mandatory and is legislatively prescri-
bed by the Medical Devices Act (in Germany, MPBetreibV §6). Please contact your
retailer.
