Important Information on Inserts
WARNING: Single use - Before the
surgery. - Before using any PIEZOSURGERY®
Medical insert inspect the sterile package
and the product for any damage. Insert
loses sterility in case of broken or damaged
packaging. If the packaging is damaged
or unintentionally opened before the use,
proceed with the disposal of the insert. The
product cannot be re-sterilized or reused.
WARNING:
• The insert must always be kept moving.
If the insert is blocked, the bone may
overheat. We recommend using a
continuous movement to minimise
contact between the tip and the tissue.
We recommend using high levels of
irrigation as the power level is increased.
• For best performances, apply moderate,
constant pressure on the insert. Do
not apply excessive pressure; let the
ultrasonic vibrations operate.
• T he extension and insert must be left
free to vibrate. Do not block them
against tissues as this may cause them
to overheat.
• Do not activate the handpiece while the
insert is in contact with the part to be
treated, so that the electronic circuit can
recognize the best resonance point of
the insert without interference, allowing
its optimal performance.
• Use original PIEZOSURGERY® medical
inserts only. Use of non-original inserts
invalidates the warranty and damages
the thread of the PIEZOSURGERY®
medical handpiece, with the risk of no
longer being able to correctly screw in
the original inserts at subsequent uses.
The device settings are only tested
INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
and guaranteed for correct function
with original PIEZOSURGERY® medical
inserts.
• For information on how to correctly use
the inserts, consult the illustrative leaflet
of the Mectron insert you've purchased.
• Do not alter the shape of the inserts by
bending or prying them in any way. This
may lead to their breakage.
• Do not use an insert that has been
deformed in any way.
• Always check that the threaded parts of
the insert and handpiece are perfectly
clean - refer to the Cleaning and
Sterilisation Manual.
• If excessive pressure is applied to the
insert, it can cause it to break and
potentially injure the patient.
• Before using the PIEZOSURGERY® plus
ensure that the surgical site has been
properly prepared, with all soft tissues
first removed to avoid potential damage.
When cutting bone, accidental contact
of some parts of the insert with the soft
tissues can cause minor traumas. To
minimise this risk, use specific protective
tools.
• PIEZOSURGERY® medical+ inserts can
only be mounted onto PIEZOSURGERY®
medical+ handpieces. PIEZOSURGERY®
medical inserts can only be mounted
onto PIEZOSURGERY® medical
handpieces.
CAUTION: PIEZOSURGERY® medical+
inserts. Screw onto the extension only the
suitable inserts supplied in the blister pack.
Do not screw the insert provided with the
extension directly on the handpiece.
