RESPONSIBILITIES

It is the responsibility of the dental professional using this device to be

fully trained in the proper use of ultrasonic scalers. The operator must

be observant of possible changes in performance during a procedure

and immediately discontinue use of this product and determine the

cause of such changes in performance before continuing dental

procedures. Performance varies slightly between manufacturers of

ultrasonic scalers, so the operator must become familiar with the

operating parameters, and adjustments of this particular device.

Performance varies between Ultrasonic Inserts due to the style insert,

model insert, and from the age and/or modifications of the insert.

DAILY PROCEDURES



At the end of the work day shut off ALL operatory Air and Water

supplies. This will prevent water damage to your office by aging or

unseen defects in water lines that could rupture under continuous

pressure.



REMEMBER to turn back on the next day before usage.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS



As an added precaution, the water supply should be turned OFF at

the end of the day. REMEMBER to turn the water back ON prior to

use the next day.



The AUTOSCALER® should NOT be used for restorative dental

procedures involving the CONDENSATION OF AMALGAM.



The AUTOSCALER® should NOT be used on or near anyone fitted

with a CARDIAC PACEMAKER.



Do not remove the cover from the unit. There are NO user

serviceable parts inside. Allow only qualified technicians to service

your AUTOSCALER®.



Do not remove the internal air restrictor. This is a safety device

and must not be removed.



DO NOT AUTOCLAVE the HANDPIECE assembly. A Federally

approved non-immersion WATER BASED cold sterilization solution

may be used on the handpiece assembly. DRY ALL SURFACES with

clean air or clean paper towels.



If your unit is left ON, and the footswitch is accidentally depressed

while unattended, this will permanently damage your unit. Be sure

nothing is touching the operatory air foot switch when not in use.

INFECTION CONTROL



Manufacturer recommends that all operators of this ultrasonic

unit wear at least one pair of surgical rubber gloves, and for extra

prevention wear double pairs of gloves to isolate the operator

from infection, and cross contamination of other patients.



It is recommended that complete eye and face protection be used

during the use of this unit to prevent saliva spray from being

inhaled, and from entering the operator's eyes.



Operator should be careful not to puncture the skin with any

insert tip containing saliva from patients. Insert tips should be

sterilized after each patient according to the insert manufacturer's

instructions.



DO NOT Autoclave the handpiece assembly. Federally approved

non-immersion WATER BASED cold sterilization solutions may be

used on the handpiece assembly. DRY ALL SURFACES with clean air

or clean paper towels.



Manufacturer recommends the use of a disposable handpiece

sleeve/barrier that keeps contamination from getting on the

handpiece assembly. Dispose of sleeve/barrier after each patient.

Ask your local dealer for HIGH SPEED LONG sleeve/barrier.
