2.3.1 Product-specific

The KaVo product is not permitted to be used in areas subject an explosion hazard.
Ozone is a colourless gas with a pungent odour. A low level of ozone is generated
by photocopiers and laser printers during normal usage. The human nose can detect
it in fresh air at a concentration of less than 0.01ppm. Research has shown that
long-term exposure of the respiratory tracts to a 0.1ppm concentration of ozone
represents a health hazard.
Note
If the device is damaged, for example by falling, it may on be used again after a
technician authorised by KaVo has checked it. This also holds true even when the
housing is not damaged.
Proper maintenance and servicing of the HealOzone unit will ensure that the respi‐
ratory tracts are not exposed to ozone. Proper use of the unit will ensure that neither
the dentist nor the patient is exposed to an excessive concentration of ozone.
If a strong ozone smell arises from the device, the treatment must be stopped im‐
mediately, and the device must be checked by a KaVo technician or a special
technician trained by KaVo.
