Autoclave Procedure
1) Remove the Tip after use. (Refer. 4. (2) Tip Connection)
2) Remove the handpiece from the Handpiece Cord. (Refer. 3. (5) Handpiece Connection)
3) Wipe off dirt and debris on the handpiece with an alcohol soaked cloth.
4) Insert into an autoclave pouch. Seal the pouch.
5) Autoclavable up to max. 135°C.
ex.) Autoclave for 20 min. at 121°C, or 15 min. at 132°C.
6) Keep the products in the autoclave pouch to keep it clean until you us.
Sterilization at 121°C for more than 15 minutes is recommended by EN13060 or EN ISO17665-1.
WARNING ON STERILIZATION
· This products can not be cleaned and disinfected with a Thermo-Disinfector.
· Do not sterilize by ultraviolet ray. The handpiece could discolor.
· If autoclaved with other instruments stained with chemical solution, it could strip the plating and make the
surface black.
· Since the bottom shelf of the sterilizer is close to the heat source, it can be too hot. Place instruments in the
middle or top shelves.
· Do not autoclave any parts (the Control Unit, Power Cord, Foot Control, Water Tube, Water Connector, Handpiece
Cord including the Cover, Lamp, O-ring, and Spanner Wrench (5 X 8) ). Other than those that can be subjected to
autoclave sterilization. Perform alcohol disinfection to the Control Unit, Power Cord, Foot Control, Handpiece Cord
including with reference after every patient.
· Do not sterilize diamond coated Scaler Tips for the reason of single use.
(1) How to use the Tip Card
1) Place the neck of the Tip in the cut out.
2) Check wear of the Tip.
3) See the green, yellow and red line to check wear of the Tip. *See below what each color means. At NSK we
recommend to replace a Tip when the Tip meets the yellow line (wear of 1mm) to guarantee safe and effective use.
8. Care and Maintenance
Green: No wear - Tip is OK
Tip replacement is not necessary.
Yellow: Wear of 1mm - Tip is showing some wear
Tip replacement is recommended.
Red: Wear of 2mm - Tip is badly worn
Tip replacement is necessary.

(2) Changing Water Filter
1) Close the water valve of the dental unit to which Varios
560 LUX or Varios 560 is connected. Mount two
Spanner Wrenches(5 X 8) as shown in Fig. 21, and
turn in the directions shown.
Fig. 21
2) When the Water Filter Case is separated, the Water Filter
can be removed as shown in Fig. 22. Replace with a new
one and reassemble the Filter in the reverse order.
Optional Water Filter : Order No.U387042
Fig. 22
When replacing the water filter, be careful about its
direction. (Point the O-ring on the water filter toward
the control unit side.) If it is assembled in the opposite
direction, the effect of the water filter will be lost.
CAUTION
CAUTION
NOTICE
Tips are consumables. The efficiency of dental scaling
decreases approximately 25% when the top of the Tip
wears 1 mm and approximately 50% when it wears 2
mm. In addition, the vibration condition changes owing
to the wear, which may damage a patient’s tooth
surface. Check the Tip wear condition with the Tip Card
periodically, and replace the Tip with a new one in good
time.
When Water Tube is getting twisted by this, relieve the twist by turning it, as its end on the Control Unit side is free
to turn.
CAUTION
(3) Cleaning of Donut-Shape Light (Varios 560 LUX)
Wipe the debris off the End Face Optic Fibers at the
handpiece with alcohol soaked cotton swab.
Fig. 23
Do not use any sharp pointed tools to clean the End
Face Optic Fiber. In case the light becomes dim,
contact your dealer.
