1.1. Summary 1
7
What is ZWave? A state of the art innovative therapeutic massager.
Pulse application High energy radial pulse application is a procedure for the temporary
reduction in the appearance of cellulite stage I to III.
What does ZWave do? Creation of pulses using an ergonomic handpiece and transmission of
pulses via special applicators.
ZWave has a maximum penetration depth of about 35 mm in human
tissue.
How are pulses
generated with ZWave? An electromagnetic field is generated via a coil in the back of the handpiece.
A projectile is accelerated as a result of the field; this strikes against the
applicator head at the front of the handpiece and generates pulses, which
spread out radially in the tissue.
What are the advantages
of ZWave? The innovative technology allows a compact design with no need for a compressor.
The clear and modern color display showing all parameters relevant for
application and the modern touch operation ensure pleasure and
motivation when providing application.
Individual program start configuration and clear, simple menu navigation
make operation of the device easy and comfortable for users.
Infinitely variable frequencies allow application to be adapted to the
particular condition of the client.
The compact design saves room in the practice and is highly suited for
use in home visits.
Note: ZWave has been constructed and designed solely for the treatment of
superficial skin problems in humans.

Application information
Press the 'Application' button to open the application screen with details
of the selected program.
Selecting the application
program
Positioning handpiece /
applicator Position the handpiece on the selected treatment point / field. To avoid any friction on the skin, lotion for treatment should be applied first to the
treatment area.
!When using lubricants, the applicator head must be covered with
the silicone cap to protect it.

Setting the frequency
Adjust the frequency using the right controller, if necessary.
Setting the pulse energy Adjust the pulse energy using the left controller, if necessary.
Starting application Depress the footswitch to start the application.
The display in the bottom status bar changes from ′Ready′to ′Active′.
Note: Only activate the pulses via the footswitch once the handpiece has been
positioned on the client.
Ending application Deactivating the footswitch interrupts or ends the application. The display
in the bottom status bar changes from ′Active′to ′Ready′.
The device ends the treatment automatically once the preselected
number of pulses has been reached.
Note: During application, the client must be observed closely and the
application must be adjusted if necessary or discontinued should any
problems develop.

ZWave briefly
1.3. How to use ZWave 1
11
Start application ZWave operates with mechanical energy.
The energy is transmitted to the client via a handpiece, which is usually
held in one hand.
To do this, the handpiece is placed on the area or point of treatment with
the applicator head held vertically.
When the pulse is activated it is possible to work either steadily on a
single site or dynamically over an area.
It is advisable to use the lotion for treatment (included in the accessories)
in order to reduce friction on the skin.
The weight of the handpiece means that it is normally not necessary to
apply pressure to the treatment area / point.
The handpiece is placed on the treatment area / point and held loosely in
position with one hand.
If required, additional pressure may be applied in the direction of the
tissue, and the working angle can be varied.
!When using treatment lotion or other lubricants, the applicator head must
be covered with the silicone cap to protect it.
Note: Despite high internal damping as a result of the weight and design of the
handpiece, vibrations may cause strain to the user's hand.
Recommended protective measures:
Limit the duration of exposure
Note: The client should be carefully monitored throughout the application.

1.4. Handpiece 1
13
The handpiece (7) contains the pulse generator, a fan to dissipate heat
and the slot for the applicator head. It is connected to the control unit (1).
Note: The pulse generator in the handpiece is an expendable part and has to be
replaced after a specific period of use as its functionality decreases over
time.
Zimmer MedizinSysteme guarantees unrestricted use of at least 2 million
pulses per pulse generator.
Wear of the pulse generator varies. Depending on performance and
frequency, sometimes far more than 2 million pulses can be delivered.
For more information on the need to replace the pulse generator, see
chapter 11.
To work with the handpiece on a client, it is essential that one of the
applicator heads is screwed tightly into the handpiece as far as possible.
The cable should not be stretched beyond its maximum length and must
be protected against pinching or any other mechanical damage.
To avoid heat accumulation in the handpiece, it is essential to ensure that
the air vents at the top and particularly on the base of the handpiece are
not blocked by the hand holding it or anything else.
Standby mode on device
and handpiece The fan in the handpiece is started by depressing the footswitch and stops automatically by reaching a certain temperature after the end of treatment.

ZWave briefly
1.5. Applicator heads 1
14
There is one size applicator head available for application.
Changing applicator
heads To change the applicator head, hold the handpiece in one hand and unscrew the applicator head from the handpiece with the other hand
(anticlockwise). Screw the new head tightly into the handpiece
(clockwise), until the black outside ring of the applicator head rests on the
handpiece (there should no longer be any thread visible).
Note: Applicator heads are expendable parts and must be replaced after a
certain period of use.
Minor / slight deformation or shortening of the rear impact dome does not
affect functionality.
In case of greater deformation of the rear impact dome or shortening the
applicator head must be replaced.
A test template is supplied with the device that enables the user to test if
the wear limit has been reached (see diagram).

1.6. Footswitch 1
15
Place the footswitch that it can be reached easily during application. The
footswitch control unit is non-directional so it is not necessary to align the
footswitch exactly.
To avoid damage please note that only slight pressure needs to be
exerted on the switch. Use the front part of your foot, not the heel to
operate the footswitch.
The switch does not have a locking device, which means that it only
remains actuated as long as pressure is applied.
