8.2. OTHER PRECAUTIONS

NOTE: Use the initial session to find out how your body re-
sponds to vibration therapy. If you experience any discom-
fort, dizziness or nausea, stop the session immediately.
NOTE: Do not use the device if any of the contraindications
described in chapter 6 apply to you.
NOTE: Do not use the device for more than 20 minutes per

fore restarting.
NOTE: Make sure to secure the attachments fully onto the
NOVAFON device and keep it on during treatment.
NOTE: If you perform multiple treatment sessions in quick
succession with a maximum duration of 20 minutes and only
use a single attachment, the temperature of the attachment
can reach up to 50 °C. You can avoid this by removing the
attachment between sessions (e.g. for cleaning) or by using
alternate attachments within the session. Stop the treat-
ment if the contact surface feels uncomfortably warm.
NOTE: Make sure that no substances, such as liquids,
creams or the like, can penetrate into the device or the pow-
er plug.
NOTE: To prevent damage, make sure that the device and
charging stand are standing or resting on a stable surface
during the charging process.
NOTE: Do not twist the device in the charging stand. This
may cause damage.
NOTE: Keep the device away from dust, lint and other partic-
les. The penetration of dust, lint or other particles can cause
the device to fail. Clean your device regularly with suitable
agents to prevent any damage caused by contamination.
Please note chapter 9.1.

dry and clean place that is protected against UV light (incl.

9. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

9.1. CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

Do not clean the device during charging. Disconnect the
device from the power supply when cleaning. If used pri-
vately, clean the housing and attachments using a clean
cloth moistened with fresh water or a mild soapy solu-
tion. For clinical and professional use, clean and disinfect
device housings and all attachments with an appropria-
te surface disinfectant suitable for medical devices before
and after each use. As a general rule, only use alcohol-free
disinfectants that are suitable for use on sensitive surfa-
ces, such as NOVACLEANER by NOVAFON, SinAlc sensi-
tive by HIMED or RHEOSEPT-WD plus wipes by Rheosol.
If necessary, dry off with a soft cloth.
If you are using the charging stand, this can be cleaned with
a clean cloth moistened with fresh water or a mild soapy
solution if necessary. For professional use: To prevent con-
tamination, only place cleaned devices in the charging stand.
Ensure that devices are completely dry and with no cleaning
agent, disinfectant or oil / cream residues before using the
charging stand or charging cable.

you are unable to increase the intensity, this is probably due
to a low battery level. In this case, you should charge your
