OPERATION WARNINGS
Caution:
Only use the device after the precautions and safety sections have been read and understood.
Caution:
Always use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) w
hen operating NuvaWave. The PPE must cover
all visible skin including the arms, hands, legs, feet, and face.
Caution:
Always use UVC Eye Protection.
Eye exposure to UVC radiation can cause Photokeratitis
(sensitivity to bright light) or Conjunctivitis (inflammation of membrane covering the eye) resulting in
discomfort and a sensation of sand in the eyes. The eye is much more sensitive to UVC than the skin,
which is why eye protection is so important. At 100-mm (4 inches), direct exposure to eyes for more
than 1 second exceeds the safe threshold limit for an 8-hour shift. At 3 meters (10 feet) the maximum
direct eye exposure time increases to 38 seconds.
Caution:
Do not look at the UVC light source.
Caution:
Do not use NuvaWave if in the presence of unprotected personnel.
Caution:
Do not use the provided face shields for purposes other than preventing exposure to UVC radiation.
Caution:
Do not depress the trigger until you are ready to disinfect a surface.
Caution:
Do not point NuvaWave at anyone.
Caution:
Always route the battery cable around the back of the belt per the instructions to reduce potential
snags which could damage the equipment.
Caution:
When wearing NuvaWave with the belt and battery, use caution when moving around so as to avoid
snagging the power cable and potentially causing injury and/or damage to the device.
Caution:
Do not use NuvaWave if there is obvious damage including broken or cracked plastics.
Caution:
Maintain proper infection control procedures, including cleaning hands before and after contact with
NuvaWave and wiping NuvaWave with a disinfecting cloth if it becomes contaminated.
