Single-use spacer for RUCK ViroCap Cold Plasma, turquoise, pack of 12

The spacer is a single-use item inserted into the front of the handset. It ensures a safe distance between the plasma module and the treatment area, protects against unintentional contact with the plasma source and forms a hygienic interface with the treatment area.

No. The spacer is a single-use item and may only be used for one patient and one treatment area. Reuse is technically not possible and can additionally lead to cross-contamination.

Check the single-use spacer for damage before use. Press it at the intended grip recesses and carefully insert it into the front section of the handset until the snap hooks engage. Do not apply excessive force.

After treatment, pull the single-use spacer straight out of the housing and dispose of it in accordance with the applicable regulations. Please do not press the side release buttons of the plasma module while doing so.

The side buttons release the plasma module. If they are pressed while removing the spacer, the sensitive plasma source can detach.

Once attached, up to 45 applications per battery charge are possible with the spacer. Within this period, up to 20 applications of 1 minute or 10 applications of 2 minutes each are possible. After this period has elapsed or after the maximum number of applications has been reached, the single-use spacer is automatically deactivated.

In the podiatric setting, the field of application in particular covers the skin of the foot, toes, spaces between the toes, toenail surface, nail fold, nail bed area and the nail itself.

No. Please remove the single-use spacer before charging. The handset cannot be charged with a single-use spacer attached, and the spacer becomes unusable.

The two figures refer to different states of the battery: 45 applications, i.e. approx. 45 minutes, describe the performance of a new, fully charged battery. This is the minimum requirement for a new device. 35 minutes of battery life refer to the minimum performance at the end of the battery's lifetime. If operating time drops significantly below this value, the battery should be replaced. In practice, a new battery often even achieves a longer runtime than the stated 45 minutes after a few charging cycles. In short: 45 minutes = minimum runtime of a new battery 35 minutes = minimum runtime of an aged battery before it needs to be replaced

If no single-use spacer is attached, or the single-use spacer is invalid, plasma generation is not possible. Please attach a new, suitable single-use spacer. Note: a spacer that has already been used is recognised as invalid by the device.

After use, safely dispose of the single-use spacer in accordance with the applicable regulations for contaminated waste. After use, the single-use spacer falls under waste code AS 18 01 03 and must be disposed of in accordance with the corresponding requirements.

The handset and the plasma module have a service life of at least two years from first use, provided the device is used and maintained in accordance with the instructions for use. The plasma module is replaceable and can be purchased separately.
