Section I: Indications for Use
Ultrasonic procedures:
Removal of calculus and plaque during dental prophylaxis.
General supra and sub-gingival scaling applications.
Periodontal debridement for all types of periodontal diseases.
Endodontic procedures.
Polishing procedures.
Section II: Contraindications and Warnings
Do not use the KRUUSE-SP1 for amalgam restorative dental procedures.
Do not use the KRUUSE-SP1 if the patient or operator is wearing a pacemaker.
Do not immerse the KRUUSE-SP1 in water or liquid. If the KRUUSE-SP1 has water
damage, return the machine to Bonart for servicing.
Do not modify the KRUUSE-SP1. Modifications will invalidate the warranty on the
machine as well as invalidate safety codes and endanger the patient and operator.
Section III: Precautions
3-A: Precautions for all Ultrasonic Scaler Units and Systems
Ensure sufficient water flow to the scaler tip during use to cool the hand piece and insert.
Take precaution as all ultrasonic scalers produce aerosols that may transmit contagious
diseases.
Keep the unit away from intense heat. Excessive heat may damage the electronic
components.
Switch the water valve off when the KRUUSE-SP1 is not in use.
Avoid treating patients with pacemakers due to the magnetic field produced by the
KRUUSE-SP1.
The magnetic field may cause monitoring devices to malfunction and provide inaccurate
readings.
3-B: Precautions for Ultrasonic Prophylaxis Procedures
Scaling tips (inserts) will wear with use. Inserts with 2mm of wear will lose approximately
50% of their scaling efficiency. In general, it is recommended that inserts be discarded and
replaced after 2mm of wear to maintain optimal efficiency and avoid breakage.
Avoid direct contact of inserts with the patient’s lips, cheeks and tongue.
Do not reuse scaling tips (inserts) that are damaged, bent, or reshaped. Discard
immediately.
