12.1
Disposal of Packing
Gebrüder Martin will, as a matter of course, take back the full packaging if so desired, to
recycle as many parts of the packaging as possible.
If you do not wish to make use of this offer, you can dispose of the packaging with the normal
paper or domestic garbage.
12.2
Ecological Aspects of Operation
If the treatment is interrupted and the unit is not being used for an extended period, we
recommend you to switch it off for safety as well as economic reasons (energy saving).
If disposable products are used in a treatment, please note that such articles must first be
carefully cleaned, disinfected and – where applicable – sterilized before they are disposed of as
domestic or hazardous waste. Infected sharp parts of single-use products must be handled like
any other “sharps” (cannulas, needles and scalpels) in accordance with valid regulations
(disposal via germ-proof and puncture-proof containers).
When vaporizing tissue, ensure that you do not inhale the combustion fumes that form by
design over a longer period in concentrated form. During regular use of the unit, no pollutants
other than these combustion products will be formed.
For removal of such combustion products, a fume suction system can be used.
12.3
Disposal of the Unit
In designing the unit, we tried to avoid using composite materials wherever possible. This
allows a high degree of recycling after the lifetime of the unit. We therefore offer to take the
unit back for proper disposal and recycling.
Be sure to observe your national/local rules and regulations governing disposal!
