10 Environmental notices

10.1 Packaging

The entire packaging can be returned to the seller and is recycled as far as possible. Otherwise,
dispose of the packaging as waste paper and/or household garbage.

10.2 Environmentally friendly device operation

During the vaporization of tissue, the concentrated, longer-term inhalation of the burn-off that
occurs during intended use should be avoided. Hazardous substances other than the
aforementioned burn-off do not develop during the intended use of the device.
A flue gas extraction system may be used for burn-off extraction.
For improved occupational safety and in the interest of energy conservation, we recommend turning
off the device during longer treatment pauses.
If disposable products are used, these shall only be disposed of in household garbage or as
hazardous waste after careful cleaning, disinfection and if applicable sterilization. Infected sharp
components of disposable instruments are treated like other "sharps" (cannulas, needles, and
scalpels) according to the applicable directive (disposal in germ-proof and puncture-proof
containers).

10.3 Device disposal

The use of composite materials was largely avoided in designing the device. This enables a high
degree of recycling when the device reaches the end of its service life. The requirements of the
electronic scrap directive must be met in the course of disposal, or the device has to be returned
to the manufacturer/distributor for proper disposal.
Labeling of electric and electronic equipment according to Directive 2002/96/EC
(WEEE) and the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG)
The symbol on the product or its packaging indicates that this product may not be
disposed of as regular household garbage.
