As soon as the blue plasma ring glows permanently, the plasma care® is ready

for treatment.

Place the plasma care® gently onto the wound to be treated with the open side

of the spacer. The frame of the spacer should lie flat on the wound or the skin

such that a closed volume is created.

By pressing the on / off button briefly the plasma treatment is started.

Note: By briefly pressing the on / off button again the plasma treatment can be

stopped early.

The four blue plasma ring segments represent a treatment duration of one minute;

each segment flashes for 15 seconds before being switched off.

As soon as the last plasma ring segment has been switched off, the plasma

source is also automatically switched off. The spacer can now be removed from

the device and be discarded. Alternatively, a second treatment of one minute

can be performed on the same area or on an adjacent area.

Note: If the plasma treatment is to be extended, the used spacer must remain

attached to the medical device. After a few seconds, the blue plasma ring re-

appears. To continue the treatment, press the on / off button briefly to restart

plasma generation. Three sequential one minute treatments may be given to a

wound area at any one time, however, a time interval of 12 hours must elapse

between two separate treatments. In total, 6 one minute treatments of the same

patient are possible using one spacer. The treatment of e.g. large wounds is pos-

sible by placing the spacer on six different, neighbouring areas of a large wound

and treating each area for one minute.

By pressing the on / off button for an extended period of time (at least 5 sec-

onds), the plasma care® is switched off and the symbol in the middle of the user

interface turns grey.

When the plasma ring flashes red, this indicates that an invalid spacer is attached

to the plasma care®. The spacer must be exchanged, otherwise treatment is not

possible.

Note: In order to treat a new patient it is mandatory to exchange the spacer.
