Section 3: Precautions

3.1 Precautions for All Systems

• Do not place the System on or next to a radiator or
other heat source. Excessive heat may damage the
System's electronics. Place the System where air is
free to circulate on all sides and beneath it.
• The System is portable, but must be handled
with care when moving.
• Equipment flushing and dental water supply system
maintenance are strongly recommended. See Water
Supply under Section 9: System Care
• Close the coolant water shut-off valve to the System

2.2 Warnings

• Persons fitted with cardiac pacemakers have been
cautioned that some types of electronic equipment
might interfere with the operation of a pacemaker.
Although no instance of pacemaker interference has
ever been reported to DENTSPLY
that the handpiece and cables be kept at least 6 to 9
inches (15 to 23 cm) away from any pacemaker and
pacemaker leads during use.
• There are a variety of pacemakers on the market.
Clinicians should contact the pacemaker manufacturer
or the patient's physician for detailed information about
the pacemaker.
3.2 Precautions for Ultrasonic
Prophylaxis Procedures
• Like a toothbrush, ultrasonic inserts "wear out" with
use. Inserts with just 2 mm of wear lose about 50% of
their scaling efficiency. In general, it is recommended that
ultrasonic inserts be discarded and replaced after 2 mm
of wear to maintain optimal efficiency and avoid
breakage.
• If excessive wear is noted, or the insert has been bent,
reshaped or otherwise damaged, discard the insert
immediately.
• Ultrasonic insert tips that have been bent, damaged, or
reshaped are susceptible to in-use breakage and should
be discarded and replaced immediately.
• Retract the lips, cheeks and tongue to prevent contact
with the insert tip whenever it is placed in the patient's
mouth.
