‧
Persons who are fitted with cardiac pacemakers,
defibrillators and other active implanted medical
devices, have been cautioned that some types of
electronic equipment might interfere with the
operation of the device. We recommend that the
Flight handpiece cable kept at least 6 to 9 inches
(15 to 23 cm) away from any device and their
leads during use.
‧
While using the unit, make sure that water is
flowing continuously. If the handpiece overheats,
please check the water supply and stop using the
unit for a while.
Section 7: Infection Control
7.1 Function:
The Flight Dental Systems FMS-2530 Ultrasonic
Scaler is designed for use in prophylaxis and
periodontal treatments, and other areas of
operative dentistry.
When used in prophylaxis treatment, the unit
operates with a fine water spray, requiring little
physical exertion as is necessary with hand
instruments. It easily and effectively removes
stubborn calculus and stains both supragingivally
and subgingivally, leaving crown and root surfaces
clean and smooth.
7.2 General Infection Control
Recommendations
‧
As with all dental procedures, the use of standard
personal protection equipment (i.e., wearing a
face mask, eyewear, or face shield, gloves and
protective gown) is recommended.
‧
For maximum operator and patient safety,
carefully follow section 12 system maintenance
and care information detailed in the operating
instructions.
‧
As with high speed handpieces, and other dental
devices, the combination of water and ultrasonic
vibration from your Ultrasonic Scaler will create
aerosols. With the proper technique, most of the
aerosol dispersion can be effectively controlled
and minimized. Please carefully follow the
procedural guide lines in this manual regarding
the use of your ultrasonic scaler.
‧
Always flush your Ultrasonic Scaler at least 20
seconds with highest flow after each treatment.
Refer to more information in section 12.
‧
Clean and disinfect the sterilizable sleeve of the
handpiece between patients. The sterilizable
sleeve can be autoclaved at up to 135°C for at
least 10 minutes.
Sterilizing:
1.
Autoclave: compliant with standard EN 13060.
2.
Place the sterilizable sleeve of the handpiece and
ultrasonic insert into a steam autoclave. Follow
instructions for the autoclave to sterilize the
items.
3.
To maintain sterility, the insert and sleeve should
remain in the sealed pouches until it is ready for
use.
DO NOT USE Cold sterilization solution.
7.2 Water Supply Recommendations
‧
It is highly recommended that all dental water
supply systems should conform to applicable CDC
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and
ADA (American Dental Association) standards,
and that all recommendations be followed in
terms of flushing, chemical flushing, and general
