• Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with
other equipment should be avoided because it
could result in improper operation.
•
Modification of this device will void the warranty,
and may violate safety codes, endangering the
patient and/or the clinician.
• This equipment is not suitable for use in the pres-
ence of a flammable anesthetic gas mixture (when
used along with air or oxygen).
• This equipment produces electromagnetic
energy and may cause interference with other
nearby electronic devices. Should this occur,
changing the position or location of the device
may be necessary.
Clinical Precautions
• Protect patient’s eyes, lips, cheek, tongue or other
vulnerable soft tissues when using this device.
• Protect the patient’s clothing from water damage
when using this device.
• Clinicians should wear eye protection and face
mask when using this device.
•
Water flow through tip during use must be suffi
-
cient to cool handpiece and insert.
• Keep the long axis of the insert tip parallel to
the long axis of the tooth to wipe deposits from
the tooth.
• Do not gouge the tooth with the point of the tip.

Inserts
Magnetostrictive Inserts for the TurboSENSOR
scaler are available separately, and are not
included with the basic scaler unit. The unit is
designed to work with Parkell inserts. For informa-
tion about usage with non-Parkell inserts, please
see our warranty policy. The scaler automatically
adjusts the operating frequency to match that of the
insert in the handpiece without operator interven-
tion. Brand new inserts may fit very tightly in the
handpiece initially, and may be inserted and
removed more easily by using a slight twisting
motion, and by lubricating the insert “O” ring with
water. Old, worn or blunt inserts will perform poorly,
generate excess heat, and should be replaced
when necessary.
Installing Your Scaler
Locate the device where the control panel will be
easy to reach during scaling procedures, and
where the water filter at the rear of the unit may be
periodically changed without difficulty. The scaler
requires access to a grounded electrical outlet and
a source of drinking-quality water. The device and
its separate transformer generate a minimal
amount of heat. Avoid covering them, to allow
normal cooling.
Water Connection
Before plugging in the device, connect the scaler’s
water line to a drinking-quality water supply (15-35
psi optimal), free of sediment. An external, office-
wide water filter is recommended to minimize
frequent changes of the device’s in-line water filter.
The male quick-connect that comes on the end of
the water hose is the standard fitting presently used
