Each individual part only belongs to the delivered implement. Exchanging components is not permissible (even with identical
implements) and requires a new inspection to be performed by the manufacturer before the torque function can be used.
This product is a medical device and is only intended for use by trained dental specialists.
The relevant employee must be sufficiently qualified in accordance with statutory regulations, and with the training and hygiene require-
ments, for the repreparation of the device.
It’s the user’s responsibility to select suitable procedures and employees relating to the product.
2.1
Intended use
This torque ratchet is to be used for the temporary insertion and removal of screws and for the insertion of implants, as well as for loosening
them in defined torque ranges for dental applications in the fields of implantology, osteosynthesis, surgery and prosthetics. The torque
function can also be “blocked”. In the blocked position, higher torques can be used for insertion, as well as removal.
For implements with ranges up to 80 Ncm → Using with loads above 100 Ncm can damage the implement.
For implements with ranges up to 100 Ncm → Using with loads above 120 Ncm can damage the implement.
2.2
Contraindication
Special contraindications can only be seen in connection with operation procedures. Therefore, the user is responsible for the selection of
suitable methods and settings in accordance with the individual anatomical characteristics of their patients. The torque ratchet must not be
used in case of any intolerance or allergies against conventional surgical stainless steels.
2.3
Combination with tools or other products
There are adaptors available which allow you to use this torque ratchet with many different tools. Adaptors manufactured by Josef Ganter
GmbH are generally suitable. The user must ensure that they choose the suitable size for the intended tool connection.
Due to the large number of possible combinations (including combinations with the end tools of other manufacturers), there are always
detailed technical specifications available under
in the download area of the current catalogues.
When using adaptors produced by other manufacturers, their guidelines regarding the compatibility of said adaptors with these
user instructions, at least with regards to the connection size to be used, the intended user and the repreparation, is to be
checked. We are not liable for any damage caused by combinations with third-party products, unless the problem concerns a
manufacturer that was expressly named in one of the catalogues mentioned in this paragraph.
3 Use / handling
Immediately before each use, the product must be checked for any possible signs of wear, loss or limitation of function or
corrosion. In addition, the implement must be assembled correctly.
Damaged products or products with any of the aforementioned faults must be immediately scrapped and must not be used in
this condition!
If the sterile packaging of products (after being prepared by the user) is damaged, the products should not be used and must undergo
another repreparation according to these instructions.
