disinfect device housings and all attachments with an appropriate
surface disinfectant suitable for medical devices before and after
each use. As a general rule, NOVAFON recommends alcohol-free
disinfectants that are suitable for use on sensitive surfaces, such as
SinAlc sensitive by HIMED or RHEOSEPT-WD plus wipes by Rheosol.
If necessary, dry off with a soft cloth.
If you are using the charging stand, this can be cleaned with a clean
cloth moistened with fresh water or a mild soapy solution if neces-
sary. Do not clean the USB port. For professional use: To prevent
contamination, only place cleaned devices in the charging stand.
Ensure that devices are completely dry and with no cleaning agent,
disinfectant or oil / cream residues before using the charging stand
or charging cable.

you attempt to repair the device yourself, you will void the warran-
ty. The manufacturer declares conformity with the requirements in
respect to medical devices of class IIa according to Medical Device

8.3. SAFETY CHECK, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
The NOVAFON device does not require regular inspection or main-
tenance. To ensure safe operation, however, you should check the
device regularly for obvious damage. We also recommend that you
carry out an electrical safety test, e.g. compliant with DGVU 3 (Ger-
man Social Accident Insurance), at least every 2 years. Please note
that there may be national laws that oblige you to carry out safety
checks on the device. This does not generally apply to private indi-
viduals. If you have any problems with your appliance either discard
or return it to your dealer. Attachments shall be replaced once they
show clear signs of wear or damage (cracks, deformations, change
in surface). Repairs can only be carried out by NOVAFON itself or
by qualified dealers. Information regarding repair options and spare
parts can be found on our website.
NOTE: Attachments are wear parts and are therefore facing a limited
warranty.
