10. Care and Maintenance
To ensure safe and hygienic operation, please observe the following:
To protect the PowerTwin21, in particular to avoid damage to the protective
glass/the comb tips, store it e.g. in the case that can be purchased optionally.
For temporary storage, it may also be placed on a matching acrylic plate.
The laser beam outlet must be cleaned with a soft cloth/cotton using 70 %
ethanol (medical alcohol) every time it has come in contact with skin or when
changing patients.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.
The housing may be cleaned with a mild detergent. Before you start cleaning,
disconnect from the mains.
Unauthorized repairs or modifications of the unit may put users or patients in
jeopardy. Therefore repairs may only be performed by the manufacturer or by
persons who have been authorized by him. Illicit opening will void the warranty.
When repair is required, please contact the Service Department.

The laser shower must be protected against unauthorized users with the key
pin
The lasershower PowerTwin21 must only be operated by specialized medical
of the medical staff in doctors' offices, that have been trained in handling the
unit. Treatment must be supervised at all times
Due to its wavelength, laser radiation is not or only very weakly visible.
Do not look into the laser beam outlet and do not point the laser beam into
the eyes of other persons. Even closed eyes must not be irridated.
The safety distance when looking straight into the beam at maximum output
(21 x 50 mW – cw) is 59 inches (150 cm) (Laser area).
When used incorrectly, the laser emission might damage eyes, especially with
a distance of the eye to the laser aperture being less than the safety distan-
ce.
Please make sure that no mirrors or other reflecting surfaces are located
within the safety distance from the PowerTwin21 (reflection of laser light).
The therapist and the patient should both wear respective protective goggles
