11. 5 TIP MAINTENANCE
a) Lifetime
Tip shape and weight are the determining characteristics for obtaining maximal efficiency of the
ultrasonic generator.
Careful monitoring of these two characteristics by the user will ensure that optimal performance of the
device is maintained.
Consequently, you are strongly advised not to alter the structure of the tips by filing or twisting them or
modifying them in any other way.
Similarly, through normal wear, tip aging leads to alteration of its characteristics. Always replace a tip
that has been damaged by wear or by accidental impact (dropped, bent, etc.).
Use the
T
IPCARD
to check scaler tip wear. Replace routinely-used tips at least once a year.
b) Pre-disinfection / chemical cleaning
To be carried out immediately after treatment, wearing thick gloves. Immerse in an ultrasonic bath
(enzymatic, quaternary ammonium base detergent / disinfectant solution), carefully respecting the
concentration and contact time recommended by the manufacturer of the solution.
Use a solution that bears the EC marking or that is in compliance with any standard required by the
national regulations.
Rinse under running water for at least 30 seconds.
