16 Ecological Information
16.1 Packaging
Gebrüder Martin will, as a matter of course, take back the full packaging if so desired, to recycle as
many parts of the packaging as possible.
If you do not wish to make use of this offer, you can dispose of the packaging material with the
normal paper or domestic garbage.
16.2 Ecological Aspects of Operation
When vaporizing tissue, you should take care not to inhale the resulting vapors in concentration
over an extended period of time. Apart from the products of tissue combustion, however, no other
noxious substances are generated as long as the unit is used as intended.
If the treatment is interrupted and the unit is not being used for an extended period, we recommend
you to switch it off for safety as well as economic reasons (energy saving).
If disposable products are used in a treatment, please note that such articles may be disposed of
with the domestic or hazardous garbage only after they have been carefully cleaned, disinfected
and if need be, sterilized. Infected sharp parts of disposable instruments must be handled like any
other "sharps" (cannulas, needles and scalpels) in accordance with valid regulations (disposal via
germ-proof and puncture-proof containers).
16.3 Disposal of the Unit
In designing the unit, we tried to avoid using composite materials wherever possible. This concept
ensures that a significant part of the unit can be recycled once it has reached the end of its useful
life. This also explains why we offer to take back the unit so it can be appropriately recycled.
