5.4 Connecting instruments
Before connecting an instrument to the ultrasonic generator first ensure via visual
check that the instrument is in perfect working order.
Connect the instrument cable first, then the irrigation tubing. It is important to con-
nect the instrument cable and irrigation tubing to the instrument first and only after-
wards to the ultrasonic generator.
Use only a sterilized instrument, instrument cable and irrigation tubing to prevent pa-
tient infection.
Refer to the user manual of the instrument that is used. It describes exactly how to
connect the instrument and, for example, whether you need a cover.
5.4.1 Connecting the instrument cable to the instrument
Improperly connected instrument cable
An improperly connected instrument cable may cause the connector socket to melt.
This may cause a malfunction of the ultrasonic generator resulting in serious injury to
patients. Treatment must then be performed with an identical or comparable system,
thereby prolonging the duration of treatment.
Correctly connect the instrument cable. The instrument cable must be fully in-
serted into the connector socket.
Liquid on the contacts
The connector socket may melt due to the presence of liquid on the contacts of a
connector socket or the instrument cable. This may cause a malfunction of the instru-
ment and the ultrasonic generator. Treatment must then be performed with an iden-
tical or comparable system, thereby prolonging the duration of treatment.
Make sure the contacts on the connector sockets and on the plugs are dry.
Follow the specified sequence of the steps so no liquid gets onto the contacts.
