operation!

burns when allowed to make tissue contact.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, etc.!

NOTICE
Glove damage by sonotrode tip
The sonotrode must be handled with special care to avoid glove perforation and user injury by
the tip of the sonotrode.
Once the mains cable has been connected first to the unit and then to a mains socket-
•
outlet with ground contact, the unit automatically goes into standby mode.
Turn on the unit with the On/Standby switch (4, front fold-out page).
•
Press the handpiece to start the functional test. Take care to keep the tip of the sonotrode
•
out of touch with objects during this process!
Upon determining the depth and diameter of the pilot hole to be drilled in accordance with
•
the indication, select the appropriate SonicPin and drill bit. It must be possible to insert the
bit up to the STOP mark.
The geometry of the drill bit and the design of the SonicPin have been perfectly matched to
each other. The working end of the bit is designed so that it allows you to drill through the
®
Resorb x
or Resorb xG mesh, plate, foil or membrane implants. The bit geometries also
reflect the diameter of these implants.
We recommend selecting a drill bit that is at least 1 mm longer than the pin to be inserted.
Hold the handpiece like a pencil, making sure that the activation pushbutton (10,
•
front fold-out page) can be easily operated with the index finger.
