Electrical and Mechanical Safety

▪
Keep all covers and panels of the System closed. Removing the covers creates a
safety hazard.
▪
Keep hands away from the applicator during the System start-up.
▪
Perform maintenance procedures when the System is shut down and
disconnected from the power.
▪
The System is grounded through the grounding conductor in the power cable.
This protective grounding is essential for safe operation.
▪
Move the System slowly and carefully. The System weighs approximately 32kg
(70.5lb.) and may cause injury if proper care is not used when moving it.
▪
Provide as much distance as possible between the System, RF Handpiece and
other electronic equipment as the activated RF generator may cause interference
between them.
2.7

Fire Hazards

▪
The absorption of diode laser or IPL energy raises the temperature of the
absorbing material. Do not use the System in the presence of explosive or
flammable materials.
▪
Materials conducting RF energy may cause temperature rise of the absorbing
material. Do not use the System in the presence of explosive or flammable
materials conductive to RF.
▪
Do not use flammable substances when preparing the skin for treatment. Be
especially careful with the use of oxygen.
▪
Keep drapes and towels moist to prevent them from igniting and burning. Use
nonflammable prepping solutions.
▪
If alcohol is used for cleaning and disinfecting, it must be allowed to dry
thoroughly before the System is used.
