The
Blis-sonic
SW
requires a separate installation of either a 2/3-line
swivel,
StarDental
Part #261550, or a 4-line swivel,
StarDental
Part #261547,
depending on the handpiece tubing configuration.
1. Grasp the swivel in front of the bearing assembly between the thumb and
index finger as shown.
2. Slide tubing coupler back until the end of the ISO connector is exposed. Hold
in hand as shown with fingers securing the tubing.
3. Align and insert swivel tubes into the ISO connector holes.
4. While applying slight pressure to hold fittings in the connector holes, slide coupler forward and engage threads. Continue threading
clockwise until hand tight against the swivel.
Note:
The swivel tubing connection joint may loosen over time, resulting in water leaks and/or loss of power. Check for tightness
periodically.
Note:
To disconnect scaler from swivel, grasp
scaler firmly with one hand and pull tubing
coupler with the other.
Do not pull on tubing
.
Swivel remains with tubing as shown.

Always lubricate scaler prior to each autoclave sterilization with DentaLube
®
for Sonic Scalers,
StarDental
Part #261818.
Lubricating
1. To remove
Blis-sonic
K
Scaler from tubing
:
Unthread
from the tubing coupler. Disconnect the
Blis-sonic
SW
from the swivel by grasping the scaler with one hand, pull coupler with other hand.
Do not pull on the tubing
. When separated, the swivel remains with the tubing coupler.
2. Find drive air on
Blis-sonic
K
or notched hole inside of
Blis-sonic
SW
(see illustration).
3. Insert lubricator tip firmly into nozzle. Spray a short burst of
DentaLube
for Sonic Scalers
into
the
Blis-sonic
K
drive air tube or in a notched hole of the
Blis-sonic
SW
.
4. Thread tubing coupler onto the
Blis-sonic
K
or snap
Blis-sonic
SW
onto swivel; attach tip.
Note:
Never run scaler without the tip in place.
5. Run scaler for 20 seconds to circulate lubricant; remove the tip.
6. Steam sterilize, see Sterilization.

• Use for all surfaces, medium and heavy calculus
Use tips for subgingival scaling and fine access. Select a tip according to the following applications.
ALWAYS USE WATER.
Note:
Normal use results in tip wear.
Replace tips annually.
Use the tip lengths indicated to determine more frequent replacement.
Replace if shorter by .02” (1/2 mm) or more.
1. Always scale with tip at an angle to the restoration margin.
2. Use a “feather touch,” one to two ounces applied pressure.
3. Move tip in a crosshatching, circular or wave fashion (see illustration).

Air Pressure and Water Flow Adjustments
To prevent damage to the scaler,
do not tighten tips with the universal wrench
. Use the wrench
only to remove tips
as shown in Tip Installation.
5. After adjustment, uncouple the pressure gauge and install scaler directly to the tubing.
6. With scaler running and tip held vertically, adjust water flow until water atomizes at tip. When water
atomizes, the water flow needed is optimized (see illustration above).

2. When the procedure is complete and the scaler is no longer in use, remove the tip and
blow compressed air through the tip to remove water trapped inside the tip. Cap it with
the cover provided,
StarDental
Part #261358. This practice prevents injury to patient or
staff.
3. To change tips, always loosen or tighten with the scaler running. The vibration makes
changing tips easier.
To prevent damage to the scaler,

CAUTION
Tip amplitude can exceed 200 µm (.0078 inches).
CAUTION
Do not exceed 135°C
Do not use:
• dry heat sterilizer • cold sterilizers
• ultrasonic cleaners • chemical disinfectors • immersion techniques
• surgical milk • surface wipes • hand soaps • detergents
• surface sprays
• sterilizer bags containing disinfectants
Limits On Reprocessing:
Repeated processing has minimal effect on this
scaler. End of life is normally determined by wear and damage due to use.
Instructions
Scaler, tip, grip, and wrench must be cleaned and sterilized before first use and after each patient.
WARNING
Containment and
transportation:
It is recommended that scalers are reprocessed as soon as is reasonably practical following use.
Preparation for cleaning:
Wear puncture resistant gloves. After each patient, flush air and water by running scaler. Remove tip from
scaler. Lube scaler as described in lubrication.
1. Attach
Blis-sonic
K
to tubing by turning coupler clockwise. Attach
Blis-sonic
SW
by snapping onto swivel.
2. Attach tip to scaler. Never run scaler without tip in place.
3. Run scaler 20 seconds to expel excess lube; remove tip, clean tip per instructions in Cleaning.
4. Detach scaler by reversing
Step 1
.
Cleaning - Automated:
Washer-disinfectors are not recommended.
Cleaning - Manual:
Clean all external surfaces using a small toothbrush with isopropyl alcohol.
Cleaning The Tips
WEEKLY - Blow compressed air through the tip to remove water
trapped inside the tip. Next, clean outside of tip with toothbrush
and isopropyl alcohol. Then run cleaning wire,
StarDental
Part
#256719, through entire tip starting at opening in front
.
Cleaning Blis-sonic SW or K Water Tube
On a regular basis or if a water tube blockage occurs,
remove the tip (and on the
Blis-sonic
SW
also disconnect
from swivel)
.
Push the cleaning wire through the internal
water tube using needle nose pliers at the front on both
the
Blis-sonic
SW
and K
as shown. Push small lengths of
3 to 4 mm at a time until the wire emerges at the opposite
end. Pull wire completely out.
Cleaning the Swivel
Note:
To ensure peak performance and proper functioning of scaler,
clean swivel and mating components daily or as needed. Do not attempt
to disassemble swivel.
1. Disconnect swivel from scaler and tubing. Depress foot control;
verify that water exits tubing.
2. Connect swivel to tubing. Depress foot control; if almost no water
exits front of swivel, clean as follows.
3. Detach swivel from tubing and find water tube.
4. Insert cleaning wire,
StarDental
Part #256719, into water tube.
When the wire will not insert, move wire back and forth to loosen
debris at blockage.
5. Remove wire and apply a blast of air into
water tube with syringe air.
Cleaning Mating Parts of the Swivel
To optimize operation of the swivel, disconnect
mechanism and swab all internal surfaces of
scaler with a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol until clean. Dry using syringe air.
Clean area in the bearing/spring assembly at rear of swivel using isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush. Dry using syringe air.

Disinfection:
Use steam sterilization exclusively for complete sterility as outlined below.
Drying:
Dry the scaler for 30 minutes minimum using the sterilization dry cycle and allow the scaler to cool to room
temperature in bag prior to use. If moisture is present, increase your sterilizer dry cycle appropriately.
Lubrication & Maintenance:
See Lubrication section of this manual. The scaler should be routinely maintained, checked for corrosion, worn
parts, etc. and should be replaced on an as needed basis.
Packaging:
Single: A standard sterilization packaging material must be used. Ensure that the pack is large enough to contain
the scaler without stressing the seals.
In sets: scalers may be loaded into dedicated instrument trays or general purpose sterilization trays. Ensure
that cutting edges are protected and do not exceed the tray manufacturer’s limit per tray. Wrap the trays using
appropriate packaging materials and methods.

Sterilization:
Gravity Type Autoclave: Pre-Vacuum Autoclave:
• Minimum of 15 minutes at 132° C • Minimum of 4 minutes at 132° C
• Minimum of 30 minutes at 121° C
Do not exceed 135° C
Storage:
Store in bag after sterilization until ready to use.
Additional information:
Do not exceed the sterilizer manufacturer’s guidelines for load capacity.

meeting the manufacturers recommendations below.
CAUTION
Indications For Use
The scaler is an air driven handpiece which runs at sonic frequency. It effectively removes calculus deposits and stains.
The scaler tips are designed for subgingival scaling and fine access. The Universal tip is for all surfaces and the removal of both heavy and
medium calculus. The Sickle tip is for use on sensitive patients and provides alternate access for difficult posterior areas. ThePerio tip is
for lingual supragingival scaling of mandibular incisors and deep local pockets.
NOTICE
Any serious incident occurring from the use of this device should be reported to StarDental immediately. If incident occurred
in a EU Member State the Competent Authority must be notified.
