Foreword

Dear customer! We are delighted that you have chosen to purchase this foot care dry technology device. The BaehrTec A2000 boasts technical features that will help to enhance your work. The BaehrTec A2000 is made from many high-quality aluminium, stainless-steel and plastic parts which are also used in sports car and aircraft construction and thus guarantee the ultimate stability and quality. Furthermore, the micro-processor-controlled electronics ensure maximum power and performance from the electronic components. In addition, the BaehrTec A2000 has an electronic readjustment for the handpiece motor, which provides power and performance even in the lowest rotation speed range. Try it for yourself – you'll be amazed. Another highlight is the Easy-Speed concept. Thanks to the instrument illustrations on the controller, setting the engine speed for the instrument currently in use is guaranteed to be child’s play (however, this is no substitute for the user checking that the maximum speed for the instrument currently in use is not exceeded). In addition to the proven Easy-Speed concept, the BaehrTec A2000 also has a colour display which shows you additional information and allows you to change the device settings (e.g. colour background). Contemporary electronic devices are characterised by their energy-saving features. For this reason, we have consciously decided against a standby mode for the BaehrTec A2000. Therefore, when your device is not required, please turn it off using the main switch, which is located in a user-friendly position on the front of the device. Think about the environment and your wallet. The BaehrTec A2000 gives you the following outstanding advantages: - very low weight - very low noise level - simple operating with a high degree of operating safety - high performance, perfectly adjusted to the working conditions - high robustness (for mobile use) - high and long reliability - high energy-saving potential (no standby mode) - Button on handpiece The BaehrTec A2000 foot care device has been made and tested in accordance with strict quality criteria, and it complies with Directive 93/42 EEC for medical devices. We hope your new device brings you plenty of enjoyment and we wish you every success in operating it. Your Gustav Baehr GmbH

We would like to point out that due to EN 60601-1 on the electromagnetic compatibility of electromedical devices that:

•

medical, electric devices are subject to particular precautionary measures and so must be operated according to the requirements of these operating instructions.

•

portable and mobile high-frequency communication facilities may affect the functionality of electrical devices.

•

in order to comply with the EMV requirements of EN 60601-1, only original feed lines, accessories and spare parts may be used. Only use manufacturer approved mains cables to operate the device. If you require a new cable, please contact the manufacturer. Operating the device using a different cable is not permitted.

2.3.4

Safety notices

The device is not authorised for operation in potentially explosive areas. Before every application, the operator must make sure of the functional safety and proper condition of the device. Improper handling, maintenance and care may lead to premature deterioration and malfunctions. This can result in a reduced product life. Therefore, please clean and care for the device regularly and properly and have it sent for servicing regularly (observe service indicator or at the latest within 24 months)! Damaged functional parts can cause damage or injuries to persons or objects. Furthermore this may result in (even greater) damage to your device.  Stop working immediately and disconnect the device from the mains when functional parts are damaged and contact customer service. Electromagnetic fields may affect the functionality of implanted systems (e.g. pacemakers).  Please ask your patients before beginning the treatment whether they have such a system. Due to the complex interactions between electric devices and mobile telephones, it is possible that mobile phones that are switched on may affect the device, even though the device fulfils the applicable requirements relating to electromagnetic fields.  Do not use your mobile phone while working and also inform your patients that their mobile phones should be switched off during treatment.  Remove electronic devices, which could cause interaction (e.g. hearing aids, etc.) while using the device.  Otherwise, the distance between the device and the upper part of the body of the person to be treated must be at least 50 cm, in order to rule out any malfunctions. If you put the handpiece down there is risk of injury when reaching for the handpiece. In the event of injuries from used instruments, this may lead to infections.  Please take care when setting down the handpiece so that you do not injure yourself.

What to observe before every use! 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!

The description used in this section BaehrTec A2000 refers both to the control device and the handpiece. Before use, please check whether the type of current and the mains voltage of the power source are suitable for using the device. Information on the type of current and the mains voltage can be found on the nameplate on the controller. When setting up the device, ensure that it is placed on a level base, that it cannot fall down and that the extracted air can escape easily. Ensure that the BaehrTec A2000 remains out of reach of children. Do not expose the device to direct heat sources (heaters, strong sunlight etc.). Ensure that the power cable is not damaged due to squeezing, snapping or rubbing on sharp edges. If you notice any damage to the mains cable, please immediately stop working with your device, turn off the main switch and immediately remove the safety plug from the safety socket. To be able to work with the device again, please order a new power cable. To be able to work with the device again, please order a new power cable. Only use manufacturer approved mains cables to operate the device. If you require a new cable, please contact the manufacturer. Operating the device using different cables is not permitted. Never operate the device with a damaged power cable. Your device has a detachable connector plug mechanism (see section "rear view") Please ensure that the device is positioned so that a disconnection is unlikely at all times. Do not work with the BaehrTec A2000 in damp areas such as saunas or swimming complexes. Wetness and moisture on the controller can lead to dangerous current leaks, which poses the risk of an electric shock. Disconnect the device immediately from the socket. Please send the device in for service with a description of the defect. Avoid significant differences in temperature. This can cause dampness (condensation). Protect the BaehrTec A2000 from frost. The device must be switched off and disconnected from the mains before carrying out any cleaning/maintenance work. Disconnect the safety plug from the mains immediately should you discover any damage or malfunctions of the device. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages to objects, animals or persons which are caused by incorrect operation of the BaehrTec A2000.

Operating Manual BaehrTec A2000

Please ensure that the BaehrTec A2000 and the instruments are always in an immaculate hygienic condition, in order that they do put your own health or that of others at risk. Find out more in the section "Care (disinfection)" of the BaehrTec A2000. Rings or jewellery worn while working with the device may cause scratches on the handpiece. Such damage is excluded from the guarantee. Whilst working with the device, you should avoid wearing jewellery. Please only work with the suction turned on in order to suction off any pathogen-containing dust and to prevent the handpiece motor or the handpiece from becoming warm. Never submerge the device in liquids, and do not suck up any liquids. If you suck up any cotton wool, paper or the like, this may cause the suction openings in the handpiece to become blocked. This may heavily affect the suction power. If the symbol for a filter change appears on the display, it is essential that you change the dust bag (the display can only function reliably if all filters are correctly applied. Therefore, only work with the device if all filters are applied). If you do not do this, the device will switch automatically after approximately half a minute to suction level 3 to prevent any damage to your device (please refer to the section "Filter change" for more information on how to change the dust bag and the filter). Never work with the device if the dust bag or the filter are not inserted, as in such cases, the device may be damaged and the guarantee shall expire.
