— During the treatment, ensure that no objects that could become caught in the rotating parts
can enter the treatment area.
3.3 POTENTIAL RISKS FOR THE CLIENT
The extraction of potentially pathogenic dust significantly reduces the risks caused by transfer-
able germs (micro-organisms). Regular, complete and accurate anamnesis can help to identify
potential risks of infection.
The risk to clients through inhalation is reduced to a minimum and the treatment of clients with
low levels of immunity can be responsibly undertaken. Nevertheless, the practitioner should
still always wear mouth and nose protectors as well as safety gloves while carrying out the
treatment.
If any germ-intensive work has been carried out, disinfected and sterilised tools must
be used during the next work process, to treat any unaffected areas of skin or nail.
3.3.1 HAZARDS CAUSED BY REMOVED MATERIAL
The hazard level caused by removed particles (nail splinters or parts of the coarse surface) is
low because there is a sufficient distance from the treatment area.
The efficient suction technology of the PODOLOG ECO / ONE minimises the risk of inhaling
dust which may potentially contain pathogens. The risk of infection can be further reduced by
practising thorough antiseptic skin hygiene prior to the treatment.
3.3.2 ALLERGY RISK
Since the client does not generally come into contact with the surfaces of the PODOLOG ECO
/ ONE, the only potential cause of an allergic reaction is parts of the rotary tools. However, due
to the very short contact times (less than 30 minutes), this risk is minimal.
3.3.3 HAZARDS CAUSED BY MOVING PARTS
High speeds and pressure may cause an undesired level of heat to develop in the treatment
area. In the worst case scenario, the affected tissue may be damaged by the heat produced.
