STERYLIS ULTRA Operating Manual
Important safety instructions
There are several warning stickers on the housing of the device, the contents of which are also presented
below. It is imperative that you comply with them! Failure to comply with the information contained there-
in may lead to a risk to the health or life of the user or other persons, animals and living organisms, and may
lead to the failure of the device.
High voltage inside the device is dangerous to
human health. In case of electric shock with the
parameters as in the device, skin burns, muscle
spasms, loss of consciousness and, in extreme
cases, cardiac arrest can occur. Therefore, all
service work may only start after the unit has
been disconnected from the power supply and
may only be carried out by qualified and properly
trained personnel!
In the event of an electric shock, isolate the victim from the power source as soon as possible - turn off
the fuses and then unplug the plug from the electrical outlet. The second, but more risky way is to pull the
victim away from the power source with a wooden stick. Call an ambulance as soon as possible after the
victim is isolated from the power supply. If the victim is unconscious but breathing, circulation is maintained
and spinal injury can be ruled out, the spine should be placed in a lateral fixed position. If the victim is not
breathing, artificial respiration must be performed and, if necessary, a heart massage. If the victim has
symptoms of concussion (pale, cold skin, sweat, chills, accelerated heart rate), place them in an anti-shock
position - on their back, with their legs raised.
Despite a specially designed disinfection channel
and limiting switch protection (removing any of the
air filters disconnects the fluorescent lamps), there
is always a minimal risk of UV-C radiation escaping
outside the device due to improper use of the pro-
duct or the occurrence of an unforeseeable failure
by the manufacturer. It is therefore necessary to
read the following information on the possible
effects of UV-C exposure, first aid measures and
protective equipment!
Fluorescent lamps inside the device emit UV-C radiation, which can cause negative effects on skin and eyes.
The effects of radiation exposure depend on the wavelength, the amount of radiation absorbed and the
type of tissue exposed. The most common symptom of skin exposure to this type of radiation is erythema
(redness). The degree of redness and its course depend on the size of the radiation and the wavelength
of the radiation. A high dose of UV-C radiation can lead to skin burns, which are manifested by painful
swellings and blisters. Long-term exposure to radiation leads to unfavourable changes in the epidermis: it
accelerates the skin aging process and causes pre-cancer and neoplastic changes. Repeated exposure of
the skin to radiation, particularly high intensity, can cause excessive keratinization, which is a contributor to
the formation of cancers such as basal and squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. UV-C radiation absor-
bed by the skin can cause inflammation of the cornea, conjunctivitis, damage to the retina and cornea and
can lead to photochemical cataracts. The most common, acute symptom of eye exposure to UV-C radiation
is inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva. Corneal inflammation manifests itself in photophobia, in-
creased tearing, a feeling of a foreign body in the eye, eyelid spasm, and sometimes visual impairment. The
symptoms of inflammation appear after a period of concealment lasting even less than 30 minutes, and
the symptoms of inflammation disappear about 14 hours after exposure. Radiation-induced conjunctivitis
occurs after a latency period of 5 to 10 hours and is manifested by redness, itching, burning and tearing. If a
higher dose is used, the correct vision may be impaired. The symptoms disappear after 10 hours to several
