WARNING: Do not change the insert tip
while the handpiece is operating, to prevent
causing wounds to the operator. During the
intervention on the patient, do not perform
any maintenance tasks on the system.
WARNING: Cleaning and sterilising
new or repaired instruments. all the new
or repaired device accessories are not sterile.
At first use and after each treatment they
must be cleaned and sterilized by carefully
following the instructions in
page 17 .
WARNING: Diamond coated insert tips
are SINGLE USE ONLY. the diamond coated
insert tips are intended to be used on an
individual patient during a single treatment
procedure and then disposed of. the
diamond coated insert tips must be sterilized
only one time, prior the first use.
WARNING: Infections control.
to ensure maximum safety of the patient and
the operator, before using all the reusable
parts and accessories, make sure you have
first cleaned and sterilized them, following
the instructions of the
17 .
CAUTION: Contraindications. allow
reusable, autoclavable items (the handpiece,
the insert tips, the torque wrench, and any
other accessory that can be sterilized ) to
gradually return to room temperature after
steam sterilization and prior to usage. The
cooling process must not be accelerated.
CAUTION: The electrical contacts of
both handpiece and cord connectors must
be dry. Before connecting the handpiece
to its cord make sure that the electrical
contacts of both connectors, are perfectly
dry, especially after the sterilization cycle in
autoclave. if need be, dry the contacts by
blowing compressed air onto them.

WARNING: Breakage and wear-out of
the insert tips. High frequency oscillations
and wear-out may, in rare circumstances, lead
to the breakage of the insert tip.
Deformed or otherwise damaged insert tips
are susceptible to breakage during their use.
these insert tips must never be used.
If an insert tip breaks, check that none of its
fragments remain in the treated part and,
at the same time, apply effective suction to
remove them.
the patient must be instructed to breathe
through his nose during the treatment, or
a dental dam must be used to prevent the
patient from ingesting fragments of broken
insert tips.
Check the level of wear of the insert tip and
its integrity before and during each use. if
there is a decrease in performance, replace
it. the level of wear of the most common
insert tips (S1, S1-S, S2, S5, P2, P4, P10) can
be checked by using the INSERT TIP - CARD
supplied. To use the INSERT TIP - CARD
correctly:
• Position the insert tip on the INSERT
TIP - CARD so that the profile matches
the one printed on the card. The profile
printed on the card has a red line
indicating the wear limit;
• if the insert tip has a length less than
the wear limit, its performance will be
significantly lower than the condition
of a new one and replacement is
recommended.
if the layer of titanium nitride (golden
surface), where present, is visibly worn, the
insert tip must be replaced. the use of a worn
insert tip decreases its efficiency.
When the nitride coating wears out, the
cutting efficiency decreases; re-sharpening
the insert tip damages it and is therefore
forbidden. Check that the insert tip is not
worn out.
During the intervention, frequently check that
the insert tip is intact, especially in its apical
part.
