Grounding the System
When installing the system, ensure that the system is grounded through the
grounding conductor in the power cable. This protective grounding is essential
for safe operation.
Operating the System
●
Keep all system panels closed. Do not remove the panels and do not touch
any of the system's inner components.
●
Keep your hands away from the applicator during system start-up.
●
Keep the applicator dry and clean.
●
Do not allow the replaceable applicator covers to come in contact with hard
materials, excessive heat or humidity; these may damage the RF electrodes.
●
Never use the system in the presence of explosive or flammable materials.
●
Make sure that all treatment personnel are familiar with the system's controls
and know how to shut down the system in the event of an emergency.
Infrared Energy Safety Issues
The VelaShape III emits gentle heating infrared light in a continuous wave mode.
Light emission is contained within the applicator chamber and occurs only when
the operator presses the trigger button on the applicator or footswitch, when an
adequate vacuum seal is achieved and the RF electrodes are in full contact with
the treated surface. Opaque eye protection should be used when working within a
30 cm (12") proximity to the patient's eyes.
Do not aim the applicator at anything but the intended target area; it should
always be oriented toward the treatment area, and the trigger button or footswitch
pressed only when full contact is made with the skin. In rare cases superficial
crusting may be formed on the skin from the IR effect.
Radio Frequency Energy Safety Issues
The RF energy provides gentle heating that is distributed deep into the skin via
bi-polar electrodes. Full coupling of both electrodes to the skin, after applying
VelaSpray Ease or any other recommended product, is necessary before pressing
the trigger button or footswitch, so that the RF energy is safely conducted to
penetrate the skin. If coupling with the skin is broken due to incomplete contact
or removing the applicator from the treatment site while the trigger or footswitch
is pressed, IR and RF modes are disabled and an error message on the control
panel indicates insufficient coupling. The trigger or footswitch should be released
immediately and the applicator should be re-oriented on the skin. In rare cases
superficial crusting may be formed on the skin from the RF effect.
