Preparing for treatment
6.1.2 Functional testing
Prior to each treatment functional testing of the ultrasonic generator must be per-
formed with the instrument being used.
Ultrasonic power and irrigation flow on the ultrasonic generator must then be
checked and adjusted.
Requirements
The instrument has reached the permissible temperature for use
(between 10 °C and 40 °C (50 °F and 104 °F)).
The instrument is connected to the ultrasonic generator.
The
OK
indicator light is on.
Turn the volume control all the way to the right.
Procedure
1. Hold the instrument to keep the sonotrode from touching anyone.
2. Press and hold the button to fill with irrigation solution until irrigation solution
emerges at the sonotrode of the instrument and no more air is trapped in the irri-
gation tubing.
3. Ensure the connections between the irrigation tubing and instrument and be-
tween the irrigation tubing and irrigation bottle are leak-free.
4. Briefly activate the instrument with the foot switch.
– The indicator light for instrument activity goes on.
– An activation tone sounds.
– Functional testing has been performed.
5. Check and adjust the power settings (ultrasonic power and irrigation flow).
– All power settings have been adjusted.
– Treatment can be performed.
