characteristics. Rough treatment (jarring or dropping) can adversely affect
these characteristics and must therefore be avoided.
7.0 Maintenance
7.1. Cleaning the device
Switch off the device and disconnect it from the power supply. The device
can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Use lukewarm water and a non-abrasive
liquid household cleaner (no abrasive, no alcohol content solution). If a more
sterile cleaning is needed, use a cloth moistened with an antimicrobial
cleaner.
Caution: Do not submerge the device in liquids. Should the unit
accidentally become submerged, contact the dealer or Authorized
Service centre immediately. Do not attempt to use the device that
has been submerged in any liquid substrate until inspected and tested by a
Service Technician Certified by an Authorized Service centre. Do not allow
liquids to enter the ventilation holes.
7.2. Cleaning the applicator
The applicator should be regularly inspected for damage, e.g. hairline cracks,
which could allow the penetration of liquids. Clean the contact surface
immediately after each treatment. Make sure that no ultrasound gel remains
on the applicator after using. We further recommend cleaning the head and
cable daily, using lukewarm water. The applicator can be disinfected using a
cloth moistened with 70% alcohol.
7.3. Cleaning the lead wire and adapter
Periodically wipe the lead wire and adapter clean with a cloth dampened
with a mild soap solution, and then gently wipe them dry. Rubbing alcohol on
the lead wire will damage the insulation and dramatically shorten their life.
