Content We reserve the right to revise this document at any time or change product specifications described. There is no obligation to provide information about the changes to the customer. All serious incidents associated with the product are to be reported to the manufacturer and the competent authority of the state in which the user and/or the patient is located.
Intended Use / Indication / Contraindications Intended Use Device used to reduce subcutaneous fat non-invasively by maintaining the affected area at a low temperature level. ZLipo was developed for the treatment of male pseudogynaecomastia using cryolipolysis technology. Cryolipolysis is a medical treatment for the destruction of fat cells. Its principle is based on controlled cooling in the range of -10°C to 5°C for the non-invasive, localised reduction of fat deposits.
Side effects Side effects The following side effects may occasionally occur: ● erythema ● swelling ● bruising ● local sensation of numbness ● tenseness ● hypercooling with skin burns ● allergy to cold ● vasoconstriction ● hypothermia ● pain in the treatment area In rare cases, paradoxical adipocyte hyperplasia has occurred after cryolipolysis treatment.
Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Only accessories provided by Zimmer MedizinSysteme GmbH may be used. In order to ensure adequate ventilation, the device must be kept at least 0.5 metres away from other devices or walls.

The cooling fleece and the liner are essential and must be used at every treatment. Always use a cooling fleece and a liner supplied by Zimmer MedizinSysteme GmbH, not only to improve efficacy but also to protect the treated area.
Warnings ZLipo is a cryolipolysis device for medical and aesthetic treatments. The device emits high levels of cooling energy than can damage the skin if used excessively. All cooling devices can cause skin damage if incorrectly used. Be aware of the potential danger at all times and comply with the safety guidelines described in these instructions for use.
A brief introduction to ZLipo What is ZLipo A safe cryolipolysis device to reduce fat cells in the male torso. As triglycerides in fat become solid at low temperatures, ZLipo uses advanced cryotechnology to selectively treat pockets of fat and so start to eliminate fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue.
