Special country-specific requirements should also be taken into account. INTENDED USAGE The PODOLOG NOVA 3s Footcare System activates rotating tools which can be used to re- move hard skin, calluses or nails, for example. The device is intend-ed for use in the following fields of activity: Podiatry (medical footcare), cosmetic footcare, nail design, beauty, wellness and by doctors.
PODOLOG NOVA 3s. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS The PODOLOG NOVA 3s Footcare System should only be used by podiatrists, pedicurists, cosmeticians, nail designers or doctors, who are aware of how the system operates and have received the necessary training.
The efficient suction technology of the PODOLOG NOVA 3s minimises the risk of inhaling dust which may potentially contain pathogens. The risk of infection can be further reduced by practising thorough antiseptic skin hygiene prior to the treatment.
Hair, jewellery and clothing may get caught in rotating parts. To avoid injury, long hair should be tied back or protected by a hairnet. In the interests of hy-giene, jewellery should not be worn. The user should wear clothes that cannot get caught in the tool. Operating instructions for PODOLOG NOVA 3s | REV. 0...
