Page 1
Intended Use
Device used to reduce subcutaneous fat non-invasively by maintaining the affected
area at a low temperature level.
ZLipoMed was developed for the treatment of male pseudogynaecomastia using
cryolipolysis technology.
Cryolipolysis is a medical treatment for the destruction of fat cells. Its principle is
based on controlled cooling in the range of -10°C to 5°C for the non-invasive,
localised reduction of fat deposits. The stress resulting from the cooling is adjusted
such that it causes cell death of the subcutaneous fat tissue without apparent
damage to the overlying skin.
Intended Purpose

Treatment with
ZLipoMed
Inspect the device before use. If there is any damage, it must not be used. Make
sure that the inner and outer surfaces of the handpieces are clean, paying particular
attention to the Peltier elements and the vacuum opening.
Clean and disinfect the handpieces before each treatment session.

A brief introduction to ZLipoMed
5
Page 6
What is ZLipoMed?
A safe cryolipolysis device to reduce fat cells in the male torso.
As triglycerides in fat become solid at low temperatures, ZLipoMed uses advanced
cryotechnology to selectively treat pockets of fat and so start to eliminate fat cells
without damaging surrounding tissue.
Was does ZLipoMed do?
A non-invasive applicator is placed on the selected treatment area, draws energy
from the underlying fat tissue while protecting the skin, nerves, muscles and other
tissue. This process triggers apoptosis (controlled cell death) in the cooled fat cells,
and the cells are gradually broken down within about 90 days by means of normal
metabolisation.
What are the benefits
of ZLipoMed?
Simultaneous use of two applicators cuts treatment times.
The use of applicators of different sizes allows efficient and effective treatment of
parts of the body.
The modern colour display showing all treatment-related parameters and the
modern touch operation ensure convenience during treatment.
Clear, simple menus offer the user maximum convenience.
Note:
The user should read these instructions for use carefully before using the device
and become familiar with the safety and operating instructions it contains. Changes
to the device or operation other than described here can cause risks to the user
and/or patient.
