Frequently asked questions and answers

Is the Podiatry Drill a medical device?

Yes, the Nova Pro and podolog Nova 3s Podiatry Drills are Class IIa Medical Devices.

Nova SEpodolog ECO and ONE Foot Care Drills are not medical devices and therefore not suitable for medical use.

There is no longer a handpiece switch – how can I start and stop the Podiatry Drill?

The Nova Pro handpiece weighs only 90 grams and is optimised for ergonomic working – regardless of whether you use a pen or overhand grip position.
The automatic start/stop function ensures smooth and convenient movement: no searching for or pressing switches – the handpiece stops automatically as soon as it is placed in the handpiece holder. The rotating mount reduces strain on the wrists. The wear-free handpiece motor guarantees reliable performance with you at all times. Control via the display is possible at any time.

You can find further help on the start and stop function in one of the Help Centre items:

Can I change the chuck head myself?

The chuck head can be changed quickly and easily - use the removal aid to take out the old head, replace, and you're done!

Can I operate the display while wearing gloves?

Yes, the display has been developed so that it can also be operated with gloves to ensure hygienic use in everyday practice.

What is NovaConnect?

NovaConnect is a function that allows the RUCK MOON Podiatry Chair/Couch to be controlled directly via the display of the Nova Pro Podiatry Drill.
This eliminates the need to operate the foot control. The control is wireless and visual, so that the chair/couch position can be adjusted easily and with precision during treatment.

This simplifies the workflow and ensures comfortable handling. This function is available on any MOON Podiatry Chair/Couch purchased after 01/07/2025.

How does hose cleaning work?

Clean the Flex suction hose and motor cable at least every 20 operating hours. A clean suction hose receives maximum suction power and prevents the accumulation of large quantities of potentially pathogenic particles.

After cleaning in a disinfectant bath, the hose must be left to dry for approx. 12 hours before being reinstalled. If you clean the suction hose in the evening, you can use it again in the morning.

How does the IoT technology work?

IoT technology enables the drills to be networked with RUCK After-sales for servicing, updates and remote maintenance.
Thanks to the integrated connection to the internet, diagnostic data can be transmitted in real time, allowing potential problems to be discovered at an early stage. In addition, software updates are automatically installed so that the drill always stays up-to-date with the latest version. This increases operational reliability and reduces downtime. Only relevant device data is processed via a secure cloud infrastructure to ensure data protection and data security.
