Operation

Replacing needle

1. Unscrew the tattooing head in an anticlockwise direction.

2. Unscrew the clamping nut two revolutions anticlockwise.

3. Insert or replace needle.

4. Hand-tighten clamping nut clockwise.

5. Screw tattooing head clockwise by hand to the last notch (the insertion depth is now set to 2 mm).

•Please use the blue tattooing head for the 1x and 3x needles. Please use the red tattooing head for the 7x, 10x and

12x needles.

•The insertion depth is adjusted on the tattooing head, which can be set for a stroke length from 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm.

The increment from one notch to the next is 0.2 mm.

•To ensure optimum colour pigmentation on the skin note that the variable pressure of the tattooing handpiece on the

skin will influence the insertion depth.

•It is also important to ensure that the handpiece is applied perpendicular to the skin during tattooing.

Preparation Instructions

Restrictions on repeated

preparation

Frequent preparation has little effect on the handpieces. The end of the service life is normally the result of wear and damage

caused by use.

INSTRUCTIONS

At the usage location: remove surface dirt with a disposable cloth or paper towel.

Storage and transport: No special requirements. Avoid long periods before preparation because of the danger of drying out and corrosion.

Preparation for cleaning: Unscrew tattooing head and clamping nut, prepare needles separately (see preparation instructions for tattooing needles).

Remove dirt on the handpiece, tattooing head and clamping nut with a disposable cloth or paper towel.

Automatic cleaning and

disinfection:

Equipment: cleaning/disinfection device with special holder that connects handpieces to the cleaning/disinfection device and

ensures that the channels are rinsed. Rinse handpiece from the back. Use only neutral cleaners as cleaning agents, otherwise

the anodised surface will be damaged.

1) Insert handpiece in holder (it is important to ensure that the channels are rinsed), place tattooing head and

clamping nut in fine-mesh basket and close basket.

2) Set cleaning cycle with adequate cleaning and rinsing. Run last rinse cycle with fully deionised water.

3) Run 10-minute rinse at 93 °C to ensure thermal disi nfection.

4) When removing the parts inspect them for any remaining visible dirt in intermediate spaces and grooves. Repeat

cycle or clean manually if necessary.

Manual cleaning:

Equipment: neutral cleaning agent, soft brush, running water

Procedure:

1) Rinse and brush off surface dirt from handpiece, tattooing head and clamping nut.

2) Apply cleaning agent to all surfaces and intermediate spaces with brush.

3) Rinse handpiece, tattooing head and clamping nut thoroughly under running water for 10 minutes.

Manual disinfection: To disinfect handpiece, tattooing head and clamping nut manually wipe them with a cloth soaked in an ethanol-based

disinfectant solution.

Drying: If the cleaning/disinfection device does not have a drying program, the handpiece, tattooing head and clamping nut must be

dried manually or in a drying cabinet.

Inspection and

maintenance:

Inspect visually for damage, corrosion and wear. Mount clamping nut and tattooing head on handpiece and spray with NOU-

CLEAN SPRAY and wipe briefly with a moist cloth (see instructions on spray can).

Packaging: Single unit: pack handpiece in individual sterile packaging. The bag must be large enough so the seal is not under tension.

Sets: arrange handpieces in trays or place on all-purpose sterilisation trays.

Sterilisation: Autoclave in a vacuum autoclave at max. 135 °C for at le ast 5 minutes*. When sterilising more than one instrument in one

sterilisation cycle do not overload the steriliser. When using autoclaves without a post-vacuum a drying phase is required.

Allow handpiece to dry in the bag for at least 1 hour at room temperature with the paper side up.

* The temperature holding times must comply with the national and local directives and standards.

Storage: No special requirements. If the sterilised handpiece is not used immediately after sterilisation, the packaging must be labelled

with a sterile indicator and the date of sterilisation.

The above instructions have been classified by NOUVAG AG as suitable for preparation for re-use. The person doing the preparation is responsible for ensuring that the actual preparation with the equipment, materials and

personnel achieves the desired results. This normally requires validation and routine monitoring of the process. Every deviation from the provided instructions by the preparer must be carefully evaluated for its efficacy and any

possible negative consequences.
