11. 8 TIP MAINTENANCE

a) Lifetime
Tip shape and weight are the determining
characteristics for obtaining maximal efficiency
of the ultrasonic generator.
Careful monitoring of these two characteristics
by the user will ensure that optimal performance
of the device is maintained.
Consequently, you are strongly advised not to
alter the structure of the tips by filing or twisting
them or modifying them in any other way.
Similarly, tip aging leads to alteration of its
characteristics through nomal wear.
Always replace a tip that has been damaged by
wear or by accidental impact (dropped,
deformed, etc.).
Use the TIPCARD™ to check scaler tip wear.
Replace routinely-used tips at least one to three
times a year.
