This chapter describes general safety rules when using Z Lipo with particular focus
on the low-temperature and electrical safety. With proper use and maintenance,
appropriately qualified users can use the device safely. All staff working with the
device must be familiar with the safety regulations listed in the instructions.
The safety of the person to be treated, the user and other personnel should be a
priority. The safety of the person to be treated is mainly ensured by well-trained staff
and a properly equipped treatment room. It is important that the person to be treated
is properly informed.
Z Lipo generates high voltages. Some components can retain charge when the unit is
turned off. That's why no part of the housing must be removed. The removal of the
housing may pose a safety risk.
Make sure the device is always turned off before you connect or disconnect a
handpiece.
Never use the appliance in the presence of flammable or combustible materials.
Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. Do not use Z Lipo in a wet
environment. Do not dip any component directly into liquid.
The use of external cables and accessories may result in increased emissions or
decreased safety. Foreign accessories may not be connected to the device.
Do not use a damaged cable.
