Precautions; Precautions For All Systems - Vector Lil' Beaver 2.0 User Manual

Section 1: Precautions
Prior to installation and start-up of the ultrasonic scaler, carefully read the instructions provided herein!

1.1 Precautions for All Systems

Do not place the ultrasonic scaler on or next to a radiator or other heat source. Excessive heat may
damage the ultrasonic scaler's electronics. Place the ultrasonic scaler where air is free to circulate on all sides
and beneath it. Do not cover vents on rear panel.
The ultrasonic scaler which can be carried vertical or plate is portable, but must be handled with care
when moving.
Equipment flushing and dental water supply system maintenance are strongly recommended. See
Section 11: System Maintenance And Care.
Close the water shut-off valve in the dental water supply system every night before leaving the office.
The use of an in-line water filter is recommended.
Never operate the ultrasonic scaler without water flowing through the handpiece.
Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the equipment is connected to an equivalent
receptacle marked Hospital Only or Hospital Grade.
1.2 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 one year of use 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.
