Use in wet areas is not permitted: non-compliance may lead to considerable
damage and endanger both the patient and the operator.
Patients should not come into contact with conductive parts that are earthed or
have a high capacitance to earth and may represent unwanted pathways for
high-frequency current. In particular, no bearings or chairs with metal frames
should be used.
Cabling to the applicator should be performed in such a way as to avoid contact
with the patient or with conductive or energy-absorbing articles.
Ensure that the applicator is not directed onto metallic surfaces (e.g., bed, sink,
equipment housing, etc.).
Ensure that hearing aids as well as other electronic equipment the patient
wears on the body are removed before treatment.
Ensure that the applicator and the applicator cable are handled with the
necessary care. Severe shocks and impacts can change the radiation pattern.
Ensure that the device is not opened. Opening the device can generate life-
threatening voltage.
Make sure that the device is not operated with a damaged applicator or
applicator cable.
Make sure that the device is operated only when the applicator cable and
supporting arm are fully and correctly mounted on the device housing.
Ensure that the ventilation openings at the back of the device are kept clear.
Make sure that if liquid or foreign matter gets inside the casing, the power cord
is immediately unplugged from the mains socket and the appliance checked by
an authorized service center before you return it to operation.
Be sure to observe a safe distance of 17 feet from simultaneously operated
medical equipment.
If case of faults, stop the treatment.
To completely disconnect the device from the mains, unplug the power cord
from the outlet.
