Treatment with ZLipo
Inspect the device before use. If there is any damage, do not use the device. Ensure
that the handpieces are clean inside and outside. Particular attention must be paid to
the peltier elements and the vacuum hole.
Clean and disinfect the handpieces before each treatment.
The user can customise the programme settings according to the patient's fat and
skin condition. The automatic mode is preset with proven specifications. However,
the user can adjust the settings to the patient's condition.
The treatment parameters can be defined individually. The Auto mode is preset with
treatment recommendations. Depending on the patient's condition, these parameters
can be adjusted.
The treatment results may vary.
The cooling fleece is essential and must be used for each treatment.
Always use a cooling fleece - not only to increase effectiveness, but also to protect
the treated area.
Do not change the temperature during treatment.

Warnings

Page 4
ZLipo is a cold fat reduction device for aesthetic treatments. The device emits high
cooling energy that can damage the skin with excessive use.
All cooling units may cause skin injuries with non-proper use. Be aware of the
potential danger at all times and follow the safety instructions as described in this
manual.
Users of the ZLipo must have the required knowledge.
This manual should always be kept with the device and the user needs to know
where it is located.
Treating personnel must be familiar with the knowledge how the device is operated,
what to do in an emergency and how to switch off the device.
A change to the settings or a use of the device other than those described herein
can represent a risk for the user and/or the patient.
Treatment instructions pertaining to the site, duration and intensity of treatment
require medical knowledge and may only be given by licensed physicians, therapists
and members of the medical auxiliary professions or other qualified persons. These
instructions must be followed without fail.
Before plugging in and removing the applicator, the device must be switched off. Do
not touch the handpiece connectors during operation.
The patient must not be left unattended during treatment.
Never leave the appliance switched on, open or unattended.
Use in wet areas is not permitted and this could cause considerable damage and
endanger both the patient and the user. No part may be directly immersed in liquid.
During treatment, the electromagnetic field may affect other devices and computers.
Therefore, place the unit at least two metres away from computers or other electrical
devices.
To maintain the equipment properly during storage and transport, the requirements
from Chapter 8 must be complied with.

ZLipo in brief

Page 5
What is ZLipo?
An ultra-modern, innovative cryolipolysisTM device for reducing fat cells.
Since triglycerides are solid in fat at low temperatures, ZLipo uses advanced
cryotechnology to selectively treat fat bulges and thereby initiate the elimination of
fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissue.
What does ZLipo do?
A non-invasive applicator is attached to the desired area, extracting the energy from
the underlying fatty tissue and protecting the skin, nerves, muscles and other
tissues. The cooled fat cells undergo apoptosis (controlled cell death) and the cells
are phased out during normal metabolism within approximately 90 days.
Why use ZLipo?
The simultaneous use of two applicators reduces treatment times.
The use of differently sized applicators enables efficient and effective treatment in
nearly all areas of the body.
The modern, clearly understandable colour display shows all parameters relevant to
the treatment and the modern touchscreen controls ensure enjoyment and
motivation during treatment.
A clear, simple navigation menu offers maximum convenience for the user.
Note:
Before you use the device, users should read these instructions carefully and
familiarise themselves with its safety precautions and operating instructions.
Changes to the unit or an application not described here may present risks to the
user and/or the patient.

Note:
Make sure that the power switch is set to "0" on the device.
Site preparation
When the device is being started up, the operator should observe the spatial and
electrical requirements and the transport and storage conditions. Before unpacking,
the following requirements must be complied with.
The premises should be equipped with adequate ventilation and free airflow. To
ensure proper ventilation, the housing should be at least 0.5 metres from the wall or
other airflow.
The device may affect your computer or other electrical or medical equipment. It
should be kept at least 2 metres away from such devices.
The device can be plugged into an outlet with protective earth contact. Pay attention
to the data indicated on the label on the power supply. The device should not share
the power line to devices with high power usage such as air conditioners. Ideally, it
should be connected to a separate power line with separate circuit breaker.
The device must be operated in a corrosive free atmosphere. Corrosive materials
such as acid can damage the electrical wiring, electronic components and the
surface of the treatment components. Keep dust and hair particles to a minimum.
Do not place the device in the vicinity of heaters or other appliances that may affect
the temperature.
A level surface is essential for safe operation.
