2.5 Cleaning
Use water and dish soap to clean the TheraBite Jaw Mobilizer
and Hand-Aid. Rinse well, shake off excess water, and let
dry. After cleaning, examine the Bite Pads and replace them
if necessary.
NOTE:
The Mouthpieces are made of a material that tends
to retain moisture. Therefore make sure that the Mouthpieces
are completely dry before replacing the Bite Pads and also
before use.
Do not soak the TheraBite Jaw Mobilizer in any liquid or
attempt to wash it in a dish washer.
Failure to follow the above may change the products
properties and result in malfunction.
2.6 Device lifetime
Depending on handling and usage, the device life time varies.
Laboratory testing of simulated daily usage for a test period
of 12 month show that the device will maintain its structural
integrity for this time period. Usage beyond this time is under
the sole discretion of the user.
2.7 Additional devices
TheraBite ActiveBand:
an elastic silicone band used together
with the Jaw Mobilizer to increase and / or maintain strength
and endurance of the chewing muscles.
2.8 Disposal
Always follow medical practice and national requirements
regarding biohazards when disposing of a used medical device.
3. Troubleshooting information
A build-up develops on the Mouthpieces
Possible cause:
Build-up may be due to collected dirt on
Mouthpieces after long periods of use or incorrect cleaning
methods.
What to do:
Use an emery board (nail file) to lightly file the
surface of the Mouthpieces and rinse off the residue completely.
Dry the Mouthpieces and apply new Bite Pads. Follow cleaning
instructions.
Bite Pads do not stick properly to Mouthpieces
Possible cause:
Bite Pads may not stick properly if the
Mouthpieces contain moisture or if the Bite Pads were not
properly placed on the Mouthpieces.
What to do:
Always make sure the Mouthpieces are completely
dry and free of build-up before applying the Bite Pads. Apply
sufficient pressure to ensure good initial adhesion to the
Mouthpieces. Allow the adhesive to bond overnight if possible
before use.
