Power range
®
SATELEC developed and patented a system of identification and selection of ultrasonics instruments according to their ideal power range.
The tips are color coded to show their recommended power range and the same color coding is used on the E
Soft power and amplitude, Green
 Especially dedicated to Periodontics and implant maintenance
Medium power and amplitude, Yellow
 Mainly used for Endodontics.
High power and amplitude, Blue
 Even if the E

conservative clinical procedures
Boost power and maximum amplitude, Orange
 For specific applications requiring high power such as crown loosening
Setting
Once you have selected the power range use the "+"and "-" keys to select the power setting from inside the following ranges:
Soft: from 1 to 5
Medium: from 6 to 10
High: from 11 to 15
Boost: from 16 to 20

5.7 USE IN ULTRASONIC MODE

Endodontic application
Notes
 Prior to the endodontic treatment place a rubber dam to avoid inhaling any foreign objects.
 Sufficient optical magnification is recommended.
 The indicated power ranges and setting are only relevant for operating the E
ranges may not be appropriate for other ultrasonic generators and tips.
 The recommended settings are determined both by the clinician´s experience with ultrasonics and SATELEC
1. Choose the tip in accordance to coronal access, root anatomy, procedural application and general visibility.
2. After selection of the appropriate tip, screw it on the handpiece.
3. Check the color coding ring of the tip, and select the related power range key on the front panel.
4. Refer to the tip book and note the appropriate minimum power setting for the tip that is being used.
5. Adjust the power setting with the"+"and "-" keys.
6. Irrigate with an appropriate solution, directly through the tip or with a syringe.
7. Check and adjust the irrigation flow by pressing on "Pump" key and adjsut the flow with "+" and "-" keys.
8. Press the footswitch (Fig. 4.4)
9. If needed, increase the power gradually. Observe whether this setting allows safe procedure. If not efficient enough, increas e the
power gradually up to the maximum power setting for that tip, to maximize clinical performances.
10. Use irrigation whenever the clinical situation is appropriate.
Precautions regarding breakage
 Do not switch quickly to the maximum level for each indication in order to avoid tip breakages. Too much vibration will damage the
tip.
 Never activate an irrigation file by pressing the footswitch as long as it is still in the air and has not yet got in touch with the root
canal.
 Even if used according to the instructions, within the recommended power range, the tip can break in some case.
 The ultrasounic tips are equipped with an irrigation port. Check and adjust the irrigation during procedure.
