account the current European Regulation (EU) 2017/745 for medical

devices, a sensible, ergonomic way of working and the increased de-

mands on medical practice hygiene. What you have in front of you now

is the synthesis of innovative functions, high-quality and contemporary

design. With the RUCK®treatment chair STELLA 3s as a Class 1 medi-

cal device and more than 90 years of practical experience we underline

our high quality requirements for professional foot care and give you

safety in your day-to-day work.

These operating instructions are a component of the medical device

and must be kept in its immediate vicinity. Please read these operating

instructions carefully all the way through before commissioning the device.

Our treatment chairs are manufactured and assembled in Germany and

are subject to ongoing quality control. Nevertheless, if you are not sat-

isﬁed or if you have questions please contact our service department.

TURNING THE SEAT SURFACE

GRUND-

POSITION

To turn the seat area of the chair, turn one of the hand wheels (located on both

sides of the seat area) and pivot the podiatry chair into the desired position. At

approximately 90° a stop can be felt.

RUCK®treatment chair STELLA 3s enables two modes of operation:

For this mode of operation,

the chair is merely pivoted

out of the home position

brieﬂy for the lateral foot

bath. In this process the

hand wheel is turned back

after a short time approxi-

mately 1/4 turn. Thus the

chair locks in place when it

pivots back into the home

position. The practitioner

works around his patient

starting from the right.

If the hand wheel is turned

to the stop, then the chair

can be pivoted beyond the

home position as often as

desired without locking in

place. This mode of op-

eration is preferred if the

practitioner wants to bring

the feet of his patient into

diﬀerent positions during

the treatment.

ment in the opposite direction, the button [2]

ment downwards.

Rotating the chair

For safety reasons, the chair may only be turned in the lowered seat

position; in the bed position the chair must not be turned.

ADJUSTMENT OF CALF SUPPORT AND FOOT SUPPORT

For an optimal ergonomic mode of operation, the patient's leg or foot is

brought into diﬀerent positions. For this, the support for calf and foot oﬀers

versatile adaptation.

SWINGING DOWN THE CALF SUPPORT AND FOOT SUPPORT

So that you do not need to lift the entire weight of your patient's leg yourself,

you are supported by powerful gas pressure springs. To adjust calf and foot

support, activate the release mechanism (1) and (2) select the desired posi-

tion. This position will be reliably held by the gas pressure springs.

(1) release clamp lever – (2) bring leg support into the desired position, then

tighten the clamp lever (1).

PULLING OUT THE FOOT ROLL

ADJUSTING THE CLAMP LEVER

The procedure for changing the clamp lever in its position, without loosening the

foot roll in the process, is shown below in points (1) to (4). This adjustment pos-

sibility is always very helpful if the clamp lever is ﬁxed in place in a position that

could hinder you in your work. To do this (1) grasp clamp lever (2) press the button

with your thumb – lift clamp lever (3) bring clamp lever into the desired position

(4) release button.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION I 31

Danger of damage due to improper care of artiﬁcial leather and sur-

faces!

Disinfect the contact surfaces after each treatment with RUCK surface disinfection

wipes, medical product, alcohol-free (item no. 2967002, item no. 2967102 or item

no. 2967202).

Tip: Using disposable covers helps to avoid direct skin contact (body grease and

sweat are sometimes quite aggressive) with the artiﬁcial leather and thus to protect it.

Clean the artiﬁcial leather surfaces with a damp cloth and clean with RUCK artiﬁcial

leather cleaner and care product (item no. 2947001). Please observe the exposure

times of the disinfectants according to the product labelling.

Danger of damage due to improper care of artiﬁcial leather and wood surfaces. Do

not use any concentrated disinfectants, solvents, cleaning agents or liquids that con-

tain alcohol (> 50 % alcohol content). Do not use spray disinfection.

Take great care to ensure that the cleaning utensils used are clean. If mineral conta-

minants such as grains of sand or dust are embedded in the cleaning agents, this

can destroy the surface. Do not use any scouring agents, such as abrasive cleaners,

cleaning sponges or similar items that may contain abrasive particles. Residues of

leaked ﬂuids must be removed from the surface immediately with a soft cloth.

For a gentle cleaning of the surfaces use a soft cotton cloth or the RUCK®microﬁbre

cloth, which is gentle on surfaces, (item no. 29616), and is also suitable for wooden

surfaces. Caution: Other cleaning cloths with plastic ﬁbres can have an abrasive ef-

fect and consequently they can damage the surface.

Over time, traces of use can appear on the surfaces. These are more or less noticeab-

le depending on light incidence. They do not constitute a lessening of utility. As is the

case with all surfaces over the long term, due to the wear involved in the daily routine

of the medical practice, they cannot be avoided. Spots or stains caused by liquids that

may corrode the surface (such as propolis, tea tree oil, cleaners that contain chlorine

or similar substances) are categorically excluded from the warranty.

DISINFECTION, CLEANING AND CARE 33

Danger due to disease transmission!

Insuﬃcient disinfection can lead to transmission of disease. Always comply with the

requirements of the responsible national body for hygiene and disinfection.

Disinfect the product on a regular basis. Please refer to the notes on page 31

Cushion discolouration due to articles of clothing

Clothing, such as jeans, can lead to discolouration of cushion surfaces. If possib-

le, you should try to remove the colour residues using the RUCK® microﬁbre cloth,

which is gentle on surfaces (item no. 29616) and the RUCK®artiﬁcial leather cleaner

and care product (item no. 2947001). RUCK recommends that you use disposable

covers wherever possible. After cleaning and disinfection, surface disinfectants must

be allowed to eﬀectively evaporate before the next treatment; i. e. allow surface disin-

fectants to thoroughly dry as speciﬁed by the manufacturer, but do not wipe surfaces

dry.

Changing

cushions

Recommendation for changing cushions

Because the cushions of the treatment chairs

are constantly subjected to signiﬁcant

stress, we recommend replacement after approx. three years (with normal use).

WARRANTY

The product comes with a 2-year warranty. Normal wear of surfaces, castors, etc., and

other moving parts is excluded from the warranty. Traces of use and signs of wear

and tear due to age and use, which are based on normal use corresponding to the

performance values and the nature of the treatment chair, are in accordance with the

contract and are not defects in the legal sense.

The warranty runs from the date of purchase when the product was ﬁrst bought. The

date of purchase must be conﬁrmed by the sales receipt. Within the scope of the war-

ranty, HELLMUT RUCK GmbH will, at no charge, either repair or replace the defective

products – at RUCK‘s discretion. The prerequisite is carriage paid shipment of the

defective product together with the purchase receipt. The local agent is responsible

for claims made outside of Germany. In case of doubt, please check with RUCK be-

fore returning the device.

The warranty becomes null and void if we ﬁnd that the problem was caused by impro-

per or incorrect installation or usage, by non-observance of the operating instructions,

by external intervention or as a result of a non-authorised repair or modiﬁcation.

The guarantee is limited to the repair or replacement of the product. Further liability

(particularly loss of revenue or earnings) is excluded. However, if it transpires that it

is a problem that is not covered by the terms of the warranty or that the period of the

guarantee has elapsed, any costs for inspection and repair must be borne by the

customer.

We reserve the right to make changes to and deviations from the technical design.
