Foreword
The Medeas footcare unit was produced according to strict quality criteria and
uses the latest technology in its design. The images in this manual may vary
slightly from the product you have bought as we are constantly developing our
products.
This user manual includes a detailed description and explanation of how to
use the Medeas unit. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can con-
tact us by telephone or email.
This user manual belongs with the Medeas unit. Keep it somewhere safe. If
you give this product to someone else, please include this document as it
includes important information on how to correctly use the product.
Short description of functions
The Medeas is a device for the treatment of callus and nails. The handpiece is
compatible with rotating tools such as diamond polishers, steel cutters and
ceramic cutters. These can be worked with up to a speed of 30,000 rpm
(Medeas Chrome) respectively 40,000 rpm (Medeas Plus) thus providing an
efficient way of removing tissue. The direction of rotation can be changed by
pressing a button. The integrated filtered suction function effectively sucks up
any dust particles. The rotation speed and suction function can be adjusted
using the keyboard. All other functions can be accessed with the touch display.
The device display will notify you when the filter needs to be changed and
when the device is due for inspection. Functions and maintenance steps will
be described with pictures and videos shown in the display. You can further
use an USB stick featuring your own pictures. For example, you may want to
show your customers the separate successful steps from treatment to treat-
ment.

Safety Instructions
Ensure that the patient’s foot and the handpiece
are held firmly in place during the operation. To
prevent injury, work with extreme caution on the
foot of the patient, and use only light pressure.
To ensure that the bur/tool sits firmly in the
chuck, do not work with tools which
•have an oily shaft.
•are worn.
•are bent.
Before using the equipment, assure that
•the tool can be pushed far enough into the
chuck
(test this with a dipstick and clean if neces-
sary),
•the inserted tool sits properly in the chuck
and will not cant/jam while clamping it,
•the tool is approved for using it at the max
speed (see manufacturer’s instructions), or
only use the speed required by the instru-
ment,

Safety Instructions
While doing any footcare, only operate the unit
with the suction turned on.
Only use the suction function if you have in-
stalled the dust filter. Check filter bag every 10
operating hours. If it is full, please exchange it. A
filter bag should be exchanged at least after 50
operating hours.
Medeas Plus: The light on the handpiece is for
lighting the area being treated. Do not look di-
rectly into the light.
Never use the suction to vacuum any liquids (or
air/water fog which contains particles of liquids).
Always follow the operating instructions. Do not
carry out any repairs, modifications or mainte-
nance work yourself. This is only to be accom-
plished by an authorized specialist. The mains
cable may also only be changed by the manu-
facturer, or an authorized specialist. Mainte-
nance records may be supplied to repair work-
shops and trained technicians upon request.

Area of Application
This device should only be used by
people who have completed a foot-
care qualification. Before use the
operator should make themselves
familiar with the device by reading
this manual or being instructed by
another.
The device must only be used in
closed spaces. It may be used in
hospitals, in a commercial environ-
ment or in patient’s homes. The
device is not intended for use in
operating rooms.
The control unit can be set up in a
cabinet, or can be used as a porta-
ble unit (e.g. in a carry case). It is
suitable for the following scopes:
•foot care (milling, trimming and
polishing),
•manicure (grinding, milling and
polishing works).
The device is determined of
operating rotating instru-
ments, which will not
penetrate the skin or murcous
membrane if used appropriate, but

the device. Position the device so
that the operating buttons are easy
to reach and the outlet of the hose
is a maximum distance of 60cm
from the patient’s foot. The unit
should be placed 30 - 90cm above
the floor.

.
Check if the filter bag and control
unit filter are correctly fitted. Ensure
that the tool is fixed.
On the left side of the device you
will find the main power switch.
Press this switch to turn the unit on.

the device. The counter for calculat-
ing the maintenance proposal will
automatically be set to zero.

Usage
In the following section the order in
which you should use the device is
described. Additionally, the individ-
ual steps will be explained in detail.
Read the complete manual before
use.
Operating Steps
Once you have clamped in the
instrument, press the standby
button (4) to turn on the screen.
Select with the keys (2) and (3) for
the desired speed. The instrument
manufacturers often give out
recommendations for the optimum
speed. In any case, it must be
ensured that the maximum permis-
sible speed is not exceeded. Now
press the standby button (4) again
to rotate the handpiece.
By means of the icon (8) you can
choose the direction of rotation. As
a rule, it works clockwise. Also,
most rotational instruments (steel
instruments with cross cutting) are
optimized for the clockwise rotation.
In diamond cutters or grinders, the
direction of rotation does not affect
the removal rate. Working in re-
verse may be useful if the resulting
milling dust is swirled in a clockwise
direction in the field of view.
Now switch to suction. By means of
the icon (15) you can adjust the
strength of suction.
Frequently used speed and suction
capacity can be saved. First set the
desired speed and suction. Save
this by pressing one of the three
memory keys (12), (13) or (14) for 4
seconds. To recall the stored speed
and suction power quickly, briefly
press the corresponding memory
key.
After speed and suction power are
set you can start working.
If you want to interrupt or finish the
job, press the standby button (4).
Handpiece and suction switch off
then. You can put the handpiece on
the handpiece holder present at the
right side of the device. Alternative-
ly, by holding down the switch on
the handpiece or by pressing the
button on the footswitch ether can
be turned off.
By long pressing the standby button
(4) the device turns off and is in
standby mode.
We recommend you to disconnect
the device from the mains power
supply if it’s not going to be used for
a while. This will save electricity.
The mains plug must also be re-
moved when it comes to retiring the
device.

down, to put it into operation again.
Send the device for inspection if the
error occurs again.
Exchange Micro Filter
When changing the filter, it
is advisable to wear a face
mask conforming to EN
14683 type IIR or EN 149 FFP 2.
Only operate the unit with a filter
bag assembled. Control the bag
after every 10 operating hours. Ex-
change a full filter bag immediately.
A filter bag should be exchanged at
least after 50 operating hours.
At first, unfold the paper of the filter
bag (art. 5179) and push your finger
into the opening in the front.
Pull out the lid of the dust chamber
and remove the old filter. Hold the
filter in the middle to prevent it from
bending and sliding off.
Therefore, you avoid it from coming
off again.
It is important to use micro
filter bag (art. 5179). You
may not use paper filter
bag (art. 5115).
After the filter has been changed,
this must be entered in the device.
