Generally, electrical devices will heat up if in constant use.
For this reason, the handpiece and the attachments
should be allowed to cool for at least 60 seconds (Ys off)
following the time of constant use (Xs on) as outlined
in the table above. After a certain amount of cycles
(defined in the above table under “Cycles”) the handpiece
and attachment should be allowed to cool down.
Observing this instruction prevents the device from over-
heating and possibly harming the patien or user. The user
is responsible for the application and for turning off the
device as prescribed. If longer periods of constant use are
required, an additional handpiece and/or attachment
should be used.
Depending on the cutting tool used and the load applied,
the heat generated by the handpiece, attachment and/or
cutting tool can vary.
The UNIUM Handpiece is equipped with a thermal over-
load safety system that shuts off the device if it becomes
too hot during use. After cooling, the device can be used
again. This will take a significant amount of time.
Specifications
Duty Cycles
▲ Precautions:
•
Carefully observe the duty cycles recommended
in both charts.
•
Follow the recommended duty cycle to prevent the
equipment from overheating.
•
Always control the temperature of the device to
prevent overheating and possibly harming the patient
or user.
•
The duty cycles recommended in both charts must be
reduced when a longer period of constant use (Xs on)
is applied or the ambient temperature is above
20 °C/68 °F.
•
The amount of duty cycles should be taken into
consideration when planning a surgical procedure.
•
It is recommended to use new cutting tools for every
surgery to prevent the device from heating up as a
result of reduced cutting performance.
•
Careful maintenance of the device will reduce heat
build-up in the handpiece and the attachments.
