surfaces and, in the case of the 30 mm plate, the application power will be slightly less
than double the power emitted by the 60 mm diameter plate.
The two treatment plates/discs are screwed onto the handpiece and it is recommended
to return them to the foam rubber housing in the cover as soon as possible, to avoid
dropping them and losing the insulation necessary for correct use.
The white colour of the external vitrification treatment allows an easy inspection of the
state of the surface.
If there are scratches or the colour is no longer pure white, request a replacement of the
application plate.
In the case of wear and tear, damage and/or scratches on the transmission plate of the
handpiece, replace immediately, to ensure the patient's safety.
The operator decides whether to slide the handpiece chosen on the patient's
skin or hold it still, depending on requirements.
The choice of handpiece basically depends on the size of the area to be treated, the
energy to be supplied (power) and the patient's pathology.
f) Treatm ent param eters
One of the basic guidelines in choosing treatment parameters is what the patient feels.
In order to optimise treatment, it is particularly important for the patient to feel a
pleasant warmth (NOT BURNING) during the single treatment cycle.
The maximum feeling of heat must NEVER reach the pain threshold. It is equally
important to consider that sensitivity to heat and/or pain differs greatly from patient to
patient. Therefore, with the same treatment parameters, different patients could report
significantly different sensations.
WARNING! The patient could be “burned” if too much energy is supplied; it is
recommended to start treatment at 40% of power, carefully observing what the patient
perceives.
An average treatment should last 15 minutes and 50 minutes of treatment per
session should be the maximum. The duration of the treatment depends on the size
of the area to be treated and the choices made by the doctor or the healthcare operator,
according to the patient concerned and the pathology involved.
One session every seventy-two hours is recommended.
However, the doctor and/or nurse using the device decides the treatment method and
therefore the frequencies and handpieces, times, cycles and power.

g) Derm atological and skin w ound treatm ent, w ound care, biostim ulation
RINOVACELL® is extremely efficient in treating difficult wounds (wound care), bedsores,
diabetic feet, skin wounds/lesions in general, where biostimulation is needed, obviously
after appropriate diagnosis by the patient's doctor and instrumental diagnosis.
It has a notable anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effect, in addition to
biostimulation of the extra-cell structures, activation of arterial and venolymphatic micro-circulation, excitation of chemical-enzymatic systems,
increase in capillary and pericapillary hyperemia, removal of tissue catabolites,
excellent in preventive treatment.
h) Contraindications
Although safety tests have not identified any significant values with respect to interference
with other devices, application of electric current and therefore use of RINOVACELL® is
not recommended, for the sake of caution, on people with:
Pace-makers
Malign tumours
Nodules
Pregnant women
Wearers of cerebral stimulation electrodes
Electric and/or electronic equipment in general
Part of these contraindications are based on the non-existence of cases of treated patients
suffering from these or other pathologies.
i) Protection m easures
The treatment cycle does not start when:
- the handpiece cable is disconnected;
- the Start button (on the touch screen) is not pressed.
The treatment cycle starts at minimum power when:
- the insulating mat is not connected to the black jack socket on the generator with the
special cable;
- If the handpiece plate/disc does not come into contact with the patient's tissue.
The treatment cycle is suspended when:
- the outgoing power supply circuits are out of control;

Position the handpiece plate on the tissues to be treated and check that the FWD
needle gradually moves towards the maximum (depending on the power chosen, the
needle stops in different zones, e.g. if power is 50%, it will be mid-curve, white
zone), and that the RL needle tends to drop towards the minimum (the closer to the
minimum it is, the more energy is absorbed by the patient);
Power supply always starts from the minimum possible and is adjusted on the basis
of the regulations made;
If there are anomalies in absorption of the high frequencies emitted, RINOVACELL®
automatically reduces the power to avoid causing damage to users and/or patients;
To obtain almost constant supply of high frequencies on the tissues being treated
during treatment, keep the plate of the handpiece (white plate/disc of the handpiece)
as close to the tissues as possible, even when moving it; if the RINOVACELL® plate is
raised, it immediately reduces the power emitted and supplies it again starting from
half the power set, until it finds the right adjustment for the tissues in just a few
seconds;
At the end of each cycle, RINOVACELL® emits an acoustic signal and starts the
subsequent cycle, if programmed;
The maximum supply time is 30 minutes per cycle; a maximum of 20 cycles may be
repeated, thus reaching the maximum 10 hours of supply and treatment;
To stop a cycle early, remove the handpiece plate/disc from the tissue being treated
and rest the handpiece on a flat surface. At this point, press the START button, after
which the device goes into PAUSE (the Start button turns yellow and the word
changes to PAUSE) in order to alter the parameters set (time, cycles, power,
handpiece); press the START button again (turned yellow with the word
PAUSE) to start again where you left off, so the treatment performed so far is not
lost. If you press STOP, the device resets: the time and cycles performed return to
zero and the treatment starts again from scratch;
No conducting creams or gels are necessary on the handpiece plate/disc or the mat.
Choose the handpiece according to the area to be treated, the patient's pathology
and the desired power.

of the safety controls.
Checking and calibration must be performed by authorised technical personnel using
appropriate testing equipment.
These operations are essential for good use and long lifetime of the device and also for
successful treatment.
RINOVACELL® has a 24-month warranty if the warranty labels placed on the device at the
factory are intact when the checks are performed (ESSENTIAL CONDITION FOR
MAINTAINING THE WARRANTY AND PLACING IN SERVICE).
(see warranty paragraph)
Before using Rinovacell®, check that less than 13 months have passed since the
last calibration date.
c) Cleaning and disinfection of the handpieces and relative screw -on plates and
discs
Clean and disinfect the handpieces and plates/discs before and after every use.
Use hot water and a neutral, non-corrosive detergent.
Do not use steel-wire or metal brushes, but only soft plastic brushes which do not scratch
the surface of the disc.
Perform manual cleaning carefully.
After washing, disinfect the discs using the normal disinfectants used at the healthcare
facility, with which they are compatible.
The doctor and/or user should decide the disinfectant to use on the basis of the patient's
pathology.
