Device Description
The Parkell TurboSENSOR
®
is an autotune magne-
tostrictive ultrasonic tooth scaler that operates at
either 25 KHz or 30 KHz. The TurboSENSOR auto-
matically detects whether the handpiece contains
a 25 KHz or 30 KHz insert, and switches to the
correct operating frequency. The TurboSENSOR
has an expanded low-power range to improve
patient comfort during debridement, and a
power-boosting, user-controlled Turbo feature to
increase scaling power when needed for heavy
deposits. The unit is designed to work with Parkell
inserts. For information about usage with non-Par-
kell inserts, please see our warranty policy.
Indications/Intended for Uses
For removal of calculus, plaque and oral debris
from teeth during dental prophylaxis/scaling.
Contraindications
Because of the potential for electromagnetic inter-
ference, 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 medi-
cal condition which might be affected by this device
during treatment, consult a physician prior to use.
In the event of any adverse reaction from the
patient, discontinue the scaling procedure.
Warnings
• The water supply to the scaler should always be
turned off whenever the device is being
connected, disconnected, or when not in use.
• The power supply cord functions as the AC power
disconnect device for the scaler.
• The transformer should be located above and
away from any sources of water that may enter the
unit. As with all electrical devices, the unit should
not be immersed in water or other liquids. Do not
reach for the device if it has fallen into liquid until
power is disconnected, and do not use the device
after it has fallen into liquid. Return the device to
Parkell for servicing.
• Portable RF communications equipment (includ-
ing peripherals such as antenna cables and exter-
nal 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
manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the
performance of this equipment could result.
