Device Description
The Turbo is a magnetostrictive ultrasonic scaler (D660)
that operates at a frequency of 30KHz, which translates to the
insert tip vibrating 30,000 times per second during active scaling.
The Turb features a fully detachable and autoclavable
handpiece for enhanced reprocessing and infection control
between patients (D722). It also features an IntelliSense™ processor
for ensuring top-level, consistent performance with all Parkell and
market-leading 30k inserts. For more information about usage with
non-Parkell inserts, please see Parkell’s warranty information.
The Turb also features: a tap-on “purge” mode for
waterline cleansing; a “priming” mode for preparing the handpiece
to begin scaling with the fi rst compression of the foot pedal; a
“press and hold” turbo feature for assistance in removing
challenging deposits if required; and a more precise water fl ow
system for heightened aerosol control.
Indications for Use
For removal of calculus, plaque, and oral debris from teeth during
dental prophylaxis/scaling.
Contraindications to Use
Because of the potential for electromagnetic interference, this
device should not be used on patients or by clinicians with cardiac
pacemakers, internal defi brillators, intracorporeal fl uid pumps or
any other implantable electronic devices, or in close proximity to
sensitive patient monitoring devices such as pulse oximeters.
If patient or operator is pregnant or has any medical condition
which might be aff ected by this device during treatment, consult a
physician prior to use.
In case of an adverse event, discontinue the scaling procedure.
Warnings
• Close manual shut-off valve on the dental offi ce water supply
every night before leaving the offi ce.
• The water / fl uid supply line to the scaler should always be
turned off
whenever the device is being connected,
disconnected, or when not in use.
• Turn the scaler power off every night before leaving the offi ce
with the rocker switch on the back. When power is off , the green
LED on the front panel will turn off .
• Locate the scaler and power adapter above and away from
sources of fl uid that may enter them. Always ensure that the
electrical connections on the handpiece cable and the handpiece
are clean and dry before assembling them for use.
• As with all electrical devices, the unit should not be immersed in
fl uids, and fl uids should not be allowed to enter the unit through
front or rear panel slots. Do not reach for the device if it has
fallen into liquid until power is disconnected and do not use the
device. Return it to Parkell for servicing. Modifying device
violates safety codes, endangers patients and operators, and
voids the warranty.
• Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment should be avoided.
• Only use the provided power supply by the manufacturer along
with the unit.
• This equipment produces electromagnetic energy and may cause
interference with other electronic devices. Should this occur,
changing the position or location of the unit may be necessary.
• Use of accessories other than those specifi ed / provided by the
manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased
electromagnetic emissions, decreased electromagnetic
immunity or improper operation.
• The system is portable but must be handled with care when
moving. Do not place the system on or next to a radiator or
other heat source. Excessive heat may damage the system’s
electronics. Place the system where air is free to circulate on all
sides and beneath it.
• Failure to follow properly validated sterilization processes and
approved aseptic techniques for Parkell inserts or handpieces
may result in cross contamination.
• Insuffi cient water fl ow could result in elevated water and the tip as
well as insert stack temperature. When operated with suffi cient
water fl ow, the water and tip temperature should not exceed 50°C
(122°F). Failure to follow recommendations could result in injury to
patients or users. If temperature is elevated, increase water fl ow. If
temperature remains elevated, discontinue use and contact Parkell.
• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals
such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used
no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the [ME
EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM], including cables specifi ed by the
Detachable
Autoclavable Handpiece.
