2.4 Danger of electric shock
The device is an electrical device. Failure to follow safety rules can result in a life-
threatening electric shock.
• Protect the device from moisture and wetness. Keep the surfaces and the
touchscreen clean and dry.
• Do not spray or expose the device to splash water.
• Do not cover the device.
• Position the device so that it is easy to unplug the mains connection at any
time and without difficulty.
• Only connect the device to a power outlet with a grounded socket.
• If you notice a defect in the device, disconnect the mains plug immediately. Do
not connect a defective device to the mains.
• Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer.
2.5 Danger due to ultrasound
Strong ultrasound destroys cell structures. Exposing a body part to ultrasound
can lead not just to skin damage, but also to internal tissue damage. On fingers,
the periosteum can become damaged.
• Do not touch the probe, the booster horn or the standard horn during opera-
tion. Do not touch the sonication fluid during operation.
• Never sonicate living beings.
2.6 Danger due to the sonicating medium
The sonicating media treated with the device can be toxic, corrosive or otherwise
harmful to health. Vapours and aerosols can also be dangerous.
• Wear gloves and safety goggles when handling hazardous preparations.
• Make sure that the sonicating medium does not splash. This can particularly
occur with small quantities of sonicating medium. Only switch on the device
once the probe has been immersed in the sonicating medium. Start sonication
with a low amplitude.
• Do not lean over the ultrasound bath, in order to avoid vapours from coming
into contact with the eyes or from being inhaled.
• In case of dangerous vapours, use a suction device.
