1.9 INFORMATION ABOUT RECYCLING OF MATERIALS

In accordance with the specific worldwide regulations, PREVENTICE aims to

continuously improve the design and the fitting of electromedical devices in order

to reduce as much as possible any negative impact on the environment caused by

the management of component parts, consumer materials, packaging and

discharge of devices when at their “end of life”.

Packaging materials were conceived and produced so as to allow the re-usage and

the salvage, including recycling, of most part of materials and to reduce the

quantity of garbage or residual products for discharge as much as possible. In

particular, packaging materials have been produced so as to limit the presence of

harmful metals and of other dangerous substances to minimum quantities in

emissions, ashes or lixiviation residual products. The total concentration levels of

heavy metals such as Lead, Cadmium, Mercury and hexavalent Chrome contained

in the packaging materials are in accordance with the limits established by the

directives in force related to this subject.

In order to cause minimum consequences to the environment, the design of the

device includes the highest possible miniaturization of the circuits, with the least

possible differentiation of materials and components, with a selection of

substances that guarantee the highest possibility to recycle and re-use the

components and to discharge them without risks for the environment.

The device is designed to guarantee the easy separation or disassembling of the

materials containing polluting substances from the others, in particular during the

operations of servicing and replacing parts. In particular, the largest plastic

components are marked according to their plastic contents in order to make it

easier to recycle the product.

ATTENTION

Please refer to local codes and regulations for proper disposal/recycle

requirements of packaging and consumer materials and of the device when at its

“end of life”.
