DANGER: Contraindications.
An electrosurgical knife could interfere with correct functioning of the device.
DANGER: Cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation of new or repaired products.
All new or repaired products are delivered in non sterile conditions. Before being used for
treatments, all new or repaired products should be cleaned, disinfected and sterilised
following the instructions provided under point "06.0" strictly.
DANGER: Infection control.
In order to ensure maximum safety for both the patient and the operator, use only acces-
sories that have been cleaned, disinfected and sterilised. Follow the instructions provided
under point "06.0" closely.
DANGER: Use only original Mectron accessories and spare parts.
DANGER: Check the condition of the device before treatment.
Always make sure that there is no water under the apparatus. Before each treatment
always check that the equipment is in proper working order and that the accessories are
efficient. Do not carry out the treatment if any problems are encountered in operating the
device. If the problems concern the equipment contact an authorised technical service
centre.
DANGER: Breakage and wear of the Inserts.
The high-frequency vibrations and wear may, very occasionally, lead to breakage of the
insert. Inserts of which the shape has been changed or which are otherwise damaged are
liable to break during use. Any such inserts should definitely not be used. It is necessary
to instruct the patient to breathe through his nose during the treatment in order to avoid
ingestion of the broken off fragment of the insert.
DANGER: Do not install the equipment anywhere where there is a risk of explo-
sions.
The equipment cannot function in places where there is an inflammable atmosphere (an-
aesthetic mixtures, oxygen, etc.).
DANGER: Personal injury.
The footswitch of the Piezosurgery must not be activated with the door of the peristaltic
pump open (Fig.4 - Ref.B). Moving parts could injure the operator.
WARNING: Contraindication.
Do not carry out this treatment on metal or ceramic prosthetic artefacts. The ultrasonic
vibrations could lead to decementing of such artefacts.
WARNING: Contraindication.
After autoclave sterilising of the handpiece, wait for it to cool down completely before
using it.
