Dear Customer,
The podiatry couch MOON is the top-of-the-line model ofthe new couch series
from RUCK. Tested and approved as a Class1 medical product, the podiatry
couch can bear loads of up to 250kg. The MOON series thanks its unique char-
acter to the moulded wood elements, which can be selected in a walnut CPL,
oak CPL or white CPL nish. It is the perfect combination of ergonomics for
the operator and comfort for the patient. Other options are leg support adjust-
ment via a magnetic extension without rotary knob, the electrical leg height
adjustment, a back inclination adjustment with patient switch and a special
soft cushion. Both variants of the foot switch have four memory functions and
can be individually congured for up to three operators.
These instructions for use provide a basic introduction to the functions and
use of the podiatry couches. At the same time they are a xed component of
the medical product and thus must be kept on hand in the immediate vicinity
for all operators. Please read these instructions for use carefully all the way
through before commissioning the device.
This podiatry couch has been manufactured with the greatest care for you
in the RUCK factory in Neuenbürg Germany and is subject to ongoing quality
control. Nevertheless, if you are not satised or if you have questions, please
contact our service department.
We sincerely thank you for the trust you have placed in our company and
extend our best wishes for satisfaction in your daily work with your new podi-
atry couch.
Kind regards, HELLMUT RUCK GmbH

Basic safety instructions
3 Basic safety instructions
The following notices are provided for the safety for all persons who
own, operate or are treated on the podiatry couch.
Observe and adhere to the notices to avoid personal injury. If you ignore
the safety instructions and warning notices, you bear the responsibility.
Liability of the manufacturer is excluded.
3.1 Hazards due to an unsuitable installation site
WARNING
Make sure that the podiatry couch is positioned so that all parts of the
couch are a sucient distance from walls and other furnishings. If the
backrest comes up against the wall and the drive continues to run, the
couch will be pushed away from the wall. The backrest can suddenly
drop down all the way. This can startle or even injure the patient. It can
also destroy the motor.
Move the couch into all positions before a person sits on it for the rst
time.
Make sure that the couch is level and stable. Rocking motions of
the couch or a leaning couch can lead to undesired and dangerous
changes in the position of the person being treated.
Use the supplied levelling pads to ensure the couch is in a stable and
secure position.
DANGER
Do not operate the podiatry couch in rooms containing ammable or
explosive substances. Danger of re or explosion!

Basic safety instructions
3.3 Electromagnetic disturbances – Requirements and tests
The emitted interference and interference immunity ratings of the podiatry
couch meet the requirements imposed on devices that are not intended for
life-support in the typical clinical environment. Medical electrical equipment
is subject to particular precautionary measures relative to electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC). These devices must be installed and operated in accord-
ance with the EMC instructions in the accompanying documents. Detailed
information on emitted interference and interference immunity is provided on
the pages starting at 59.
In particular, observe the following notices in order to avoid unwanted and
potentially dangerous eects.
WARNING
Ensure a minimum distance of 30 cm between the podiatry couch
and mobile high-frequency communication devices.
Such devices include cordless phones, mobile phones, laptops with
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capability and accessories such as antenna cables
and external antennas.
These devices can aect medical electrical equipment.
Ensure a minimum distance of 30 cm between the podiatry couch
and other electrical equipment.
If it must be operated in the vicinity of other devices, you should
observe the podiatry couch to verify that it can be safely operated as
intended when in this arrangement.
IMPORTANT
The emission properties of the podiatry couch are suitable for use
in industrial areas and hospitals. If the couch is used in a residential
environment, it is possible that it will not provide adequate protection
for high frequency communication services. The operator may need
to take remedial action, such as relocating or repositioning the couch.
