not carry out this treatment on metal or
ceramic prosthetic artefacts. The ultrasonic
vibrations could cause them to decement.
WARNING: Infection control.
To ensure maximum patient and operator
safety, before using all reusable parts and
components, please ensure that they have
been previously cleaned and sterilised in
accordance with the instructions given in
the Cleaning and Sterilisation Manual.
WARNING: Cleaning and sterilisation
of new or repaired tools. All new and
repaired reusable device components are
supplied non-sterile. Before first use, and
after each treatment, they must be cleaned
and sterilised in strict compliance with
the instructions given in the Cleaning and
Sterilisation Manual.
CAUTION: Contraindications. After
having sterilised the handpiece, the torque
wrench or all other sterilisable components
in the autoclave, wait for them to have
cooled completely before reusing.
WARNING: Breakage and wear of
the inserts. The high-frequency vibrations
and general wear and tear can, very
occasionally, lead to insert breakage. Do
not bend, change the shape or sharpen
an insert in any way. Bending an insert or
applying leverage to it can cause it to break.
Deformed or otherwise damaged inserts
are liable to break during use. These inserts
must never be used. Excessive pressure
on inserts during use can cause them to
break. If the tip of the insert comes into
contact with metal objects, it may break
leaving fragments in the operating site.
In the event of breakage, check that no
fragments remain in the treated part, and at
the same time suction effectively to remove
any. If a fragment cannot be found, use
diagnostic tools such as x-rays to confirm
that the broken piece is not in the surgical
area. Check that the insert is whole on
regular occasions during the intervention,
and particularly the apical part. During the
intervention, avoid prolonged contact with
retractors or other metal tools being used.
