Preface
About the KRUUSE-SP1 Scaler/Polisher Comb Unit
The KRUUSE-SP1 is CE 0434 certified in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
Council Directive 93/42/EEC. The reviewing council also classifies the KRUUSE-SP1 in
accordance with EN60601-1 and EN60601-1-2 safety requirements.
How it works
The KRUUSE-SP1 consists of two parts: The main electronic system and the scaling hand piece.
The main electronic system utilizes two closed loops. One loop provides automatic tuning to
match the resonance of the insert. The other loop will control the tip stroke based on various
working conditions.
The scaling hand piece utilizes a pulsing magnetic field. This magnetic field is applied to a
metal “stack” which flexes and moves an installed scaling tip (insert) approximately 25,000
cycles per second in an elliptical pattern based on the amount of power used. Thus, more power
results in greater tip displacement, which allows for more robust scaling. However, the
vibrating metal stack generates heat and requires adequate amounts of fluid to cool the hand
piece and tissues during treatment.
When the two parts of the KRUUSE-SP1 are placed together, the properties of the main unit and
scaling hand piece enable the KRUUSE-SP1 to “power away” the heaviest calculus deposits. In
addition, tips may be rotated 360 degrees within the hand piece to relieve cord tension and
alignment. As a result, the KRUUSE-SP1 provides maximum comfort to the patient and ease of
use to the operator.
Features:
Scaler and polisher in one system
Automatic phase lock and power control
Automatic feedback control
Micro-motor speed control of 2,000 to 30,000 RPMS
