THE AUTOSCALER DIRECTIONS FOR USE Rev: A March 16, 2007
12.
(NOTE):
Due to atmospheric exposure, and exposure to sterilization
solutions, the
O RING
on the insert tip may become swollen, brittle, or
crack, and require replacement.
13. While holding the handpiece upright, press the Foot Switch, and
water should begin to exit the insert. Allow the
AIR
bubbles to escape
for about
10-20 seconds.
Turn the
POWER KNOB
to the
RIGHT
in
the Medium position, and the insert tip should Cavitate/Vibrate with a
strong mist. Turn the
WATER KNOB
to the right if there is
No mist or
Weak misting.
If
Modified Periodontal inserts
are used, set the
POWER
knob in the
BLUE
shaded area. This power level is designed
to be used with these
fragile
specialty inserts. Inserts may give a drip
and mist combination. This is normal for these inserts, and is actually
preferred by most Periodontal professionals due to the water drip
being ultrasonically activated within
0.5mm
of the tip assisting in
killing plaque.
14.
The application of the
POWER KNOB
is for controlling the Output
Power to the insert tip in a smooth linear action. The operator can
select the
EXACT
power needed for cleaning. Set power knob
LOW
to
MEDIUM
for cooler handpiece/insert temperature.
15. If your insert will not Cavitate/Vibrate, the problem could be the
INSERT.
Before requesting service
TRY ANOTHER INSERT.
Make
sure you have the CORRECT FREQUENCY insert
. If you
purchased a
30K
30,000 Hz model, a sticker on the front panel or
rear panel will indicate that you can use only 30K inserts.
(30K
inserts will not function in a 25K unit, and 25K inserts will not
function in a 30K unit).
16. The
HIGH
power setting is for applications where an
excessive
amount of calculus
is built up. The Low power setting can be used for
periodontal
Subgingival curettage, and root planing
procedures. Most
scaling should be done only on the
LOW to MEDIUM
power setting.
