than a tip in a traditional scaler. This
permits more comfortable debridement of
sensitive patients.
For short-term increases in power during
the procedure, simply increase foot-pressure
on the pedal. (The "Turbo" light will
illuminate.) This will instantly boost scaling
power to a point midway between the
current setting and the scaler's maximum
power. (In other words, increasing foot-
pressure when the scaler is operating at
a low setting will cause a major boost in
power. Increasing foot-pressure when the
scaler is already operating at maximum
power will produce no signifi cant increase.)
To return to normal scaling power, lighten
foot pressure. (The Turbo light will go
out.) The Turbo mode allows you to scale
at lower power than usual because you do
not have to allow for occasional pieces of
residual calculus.
If you encounter hard-to-remove accretions
during debridement, simply use the Turbo
feature to eliminate them. (The Turbo mode
does not change the water fl ow, so extended
procedures may require a water adjustment.)
Selecting the water source:
The water source is selected using the two
toggle switches on the front of the unit. One
switch selects the source, either external or
from the internal bottles. The other switch
allows the user to choose which bottle is
used as a source.
Controlling the water fl ow:
If you are using an external water source,
turn the water control on the back of the
unit counter-clockwise to increase the fl ow.
If you are using the internal bottles as a
source, the fl ow is controlled by using the
Water (+ and –) buttons on the touch panel
at the front of the unit. When you press
either button the display will start to fl ash
to indicate that it is now showing the water
fl ow rate (1 is the lowest 7 the highest). As
you hold the button the fl ow will change as
shown by the display. When you release the
button the display will return to showing
the power level after a few seconds. If water
does not fl ow through the insert when the
foot pedal is depressed, the water passage
in the scaling insert may be clogged or the
bottle(s) may be empty.

Infection control:

When removing the
autoclavable handpiece
sheath, hold the
handpiece at the base
with one hand and turn
the top counter-clockwise
with the other, taking
care not to twist the hose.
The sheath will unscrew
and slip off.
Sheaths can be sterilized
in any conventional steam
autoclave, following
manufactures standard
procedures. DO NOT USE DRY HEAT
OR CHEMCLAVE.
(Note: The sheath must be washed in soap
and water and rinsed in running water
prior to autoclaving. Autoclaving does not
remove debris that has accumulated on the
sheath. Failure to adequately remove debris
may result in inadequate sterilization.)
Before replacing
the sheath, lubricate
the O-ring on the
handpiece with
petroleum jelly to
assure a water-tight
seal. Slide the sheath over the handpiece
carefully to avoid damaging or dislodging
this O-ring, and screw the sheath in place.
(Do not overtighten.)
The exterior case of the scaler may be wiped
with a cloth dampened by any standard
surface spray cleaner as desired.
How to replace the fi lter disk
(time required: 10 seconds.)
The water fi lter disk should be replaced
when it becomes very dark or so clogged
with debris that water fl ow is impeded.
