Employee and Customer Protection It is essential that you read this section with the utmost care! It contains important information on protecting yourself, others and the device from damage! Only use high-quality rotating instruments with a standardized shaft diameter according to DIN EN ISO 1797 amounting to 2.35 mm, cylindrical TYPE 2 from the BAEHR product range. Please observe the specific instructions of rotating instruments when using them. Above all, observe the manufacturer's information on maximum speeds, cleaning, disinfection and sterilization. Please refer to the “Rotating instruments” chapter in the current main catalogue of the Gustav Baehr GmbH for more detailed information regarding the instruments (including their specific function). Disinfect, clean and if required, sterilize the instruments after each use according to the specifications of the respective manufacturer of the instruments. Only use cleaned, disinfected and if necessary, sterilized instruments for each new customer, to avoid a possible transfer of germs to the next customer. Disinfect the handpiece after each use and before each new customer (please make sure that no disinfecting agent or other liquids penetrate the device during the process). Please refer to chapter 5.2 of this operating manual for more detailed information. Disinfect all parts of the device that could have come into contact with contaminated particles after each use and before treating each new customer (please ensure that no disinfecting agent or other liquids penetrate the device during the process). The operating staff must wear protective gloves as well as eye, mouth and nose protection when using the device. When using the device, the employees must make sure that neither hair nor any other loose objects such as wipes, cotton or the like can penetrate the area of the rotating instruments. A hair net must be worn where necessary. Objects, which can be caught in rotating components, cannot be in the area of treatment. The operating staff must bear in mind that the particles that are removed when working with the rotating tools may chip. The device must be maintained and cleaned according to the instructions before and after long pauses in use. The device can only be used with accessories approved for the device. Using unapproved accessories can lead to an increased emission or a minimized resistance to interference or other EMC phenomena. The national statutory provisions must be observed during use, in particular:

the currently applicable work regulations the currently applicable accident prevention measures To guarantee constant readiness for operation and preservation of value, the prescribed care work and maintenance services must be performed. The device can only be repaired using replacement parts approved by the manufacturer and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The recommended maintenance services (after notification, but at the latest within 24 months) and inspection and repair work can only be performed by the manufacturer. In line with a repair/maintenance work, please conduct or repeat necessary safety tests if applicable. This device cannot not be modified without the manufacturer’s permission. 2.4.3

Possible risks for customers

The suction technology and filter system used in the BaehrTec A700 significantly contribute to a minimization of potentially pathogenic dust in the ambient air and therefore, reduce the risk of communicable germs (microorganisms). Consequently, the customers’ risk based on inhalation is reduced to a minimum and the treatment of immunocompromised customers is justified. Page 10/60

English – V100 - Last update: 09/2018

Operating Manual BaehrTec A700

Possible risks of infection can be detected by routinely and diligently determining the medical history and in doing so, be prevented. It is extremely important that you only treat areas of healthy skin or nails with disinfected/sterilized instruments, in the event that you previously conducted work in infected areas. 2.4.3.1

Risks due to dust and removed materials

Due to the effective suction system and the filter system used for the BaehrTec A700, the risk to customers based on inhalation of potentially pathogenic dust is reduced to a minimum. A risk due to removed materials (such as nail residues e.g.) is regarded low based on the sufficient distance to the treatment area. 2.4.3.2

Risk due to moving or rotating parts/instruments

Intense pressure and high rotational speeds can lead to an unwelcome heat development in the area being treated and in the worst case, to damage of the tissue concerned due to heat development. The operator must always be aware that an unintentional puncturing of the skin can occur if he or she is inattentive or the customer makes sudden movements (out of reflex). However, this risk is extremely low in the case of professional handling and constant visual checks. ATTENTION! In any case, puncturing the skin must be avoided! 2.4.3.3

Allergy risks

The customer normally does not come in contact with the surface of the BaehrTec A700 but solely with the rotating instruments. Therefore, there can, at best, be a susceptibility to allergies regarding the components of the rotating instruments. However, since the treatment involves a very short times of contact (under 30 minutes), this is a minimal risk. 2.4.4

Possible risks for operators

2.4.4.1

Risks due to dust and removed materials

The suction technology and filter system used in the BaehrTec A700 significantly contribute to a minimization of potentially pathogenic dust in the ambient air and therefore, reduce the risk of communicable germs (microorganisms). Consequently, the operators’ risk based on inhalation is reduced to a minimum. Always wear personal protective equipment (such as face masks, which cover mouth and nose) when working. A risk due to removed materials (such as nail residues e.g.) is regarded a hazard to the operator based on the close proximity to the treatment area. In order to minimize this risk, the operator must wear eye, mouth and nose protection during treatments. 2.4.4.2

Risk due to moving or rotating parts/instruments

Loose objects such as hair, clothing, jewellery, etc. can get caught and wound up in the rotating parts and instruments. To avoid injuries, the operator must make sure that such loose objects do not come in contact with moving parts / rotating instruments. Hair must be tied back English – V100 – Last update: 09/2018

Page 11/60

Operating Manual BaehrTec A700

if necessary or a hair net must be worn. When choosing his or her work clothes, the operator must make sure that these cannot get caught in the moving parts / the rotating instruments. These measures minimize the risk. To prevent damage to/scratches on the device and for hygienic reasons, rings or other jewellery cannot be worn when operating the device. 2.4.4.3

Allergy risks

A susceptibility to allergies regarding the materials used in the BaehrTec A700 cannot be ruled out but is regarded extremely low however, can be further minimized by wearing disposable gloves. Disposable gloves should also be worn for hygienic reasons during every treatment session. 2.4.5

Safety information
