Warnings
Important!
The ART-SP2 should be operated solely by qualified personnel (trained doctors,
dentist, and hygienists, etc.).
Patients with pacemakers should not be treated with the ART-SP2
Do not immerse the ART-SP2 in water!
If the patient or operator is pregnant, consult a physician prior to performing
dental scaling for safety purposes.
The ART-SP2 requires a shielded AC power cord.
Plug the power cord into a well-grounded outlet.
Attention to users with cardiac pacemakers!
Patients with pacemakers should avoid treatment with the ART-SP2. Studies have shown
that electronic appliances including razors, hair dryers, microwave ovens, TV receptors, and
other medical equipment, such as the ART-SP2, may interfere with the performance of
pacemakers.
