7 - SAFETY RULES
• This manual only contains basic and simplified information regarding the use of the
instrument and under no circumstances it is a substitute for a proper training course. The
articulator and face-bow are products aimed at the exclusive use of qualified dental
professionals.
• The Bio-Art face-bow is designed for use with Bio-Art's own articulator and vice-versa.
Although, the Standard face-bow is compatible with other articulator models, its use with
similar models should be consulted.
• Bio-Art articulators are not interchangeable, i.e. the casts mounted on one articulator
model should not be transferred (mounted) to any other articulator. Therefore, Bio-Art does
not guarantee precision when casts mounted on one articulator are transferred to another.
• The only Bio-Art articulators, which are interchangeable, are those which are calibrated in
the factory. Thus, for safe and precise interchangeability, casts should be transferred only
between calibrated articulators.
• Before using the articulator and face-bow, the professional should check the instrument for
possible damage, distortion of the incisal pin, face-bow's parallelism, proper centricity of
the incisal pin in relation to the lower frame, etc. Should any abnormality be found, Bio-Art's
Technical assistance or Authorized Representative should be contacted immediately.
• The face-bow should be cleaned with warm water prior to its use. The Bite Fork must be
autoclaved and the Earpieces disinfected with a bactericide or with 70° alcohol.
• Bio-Art recommends only warm water for the general cleaning of the articulator and face-
bow.
• When using “godiva” or any other registration material, special care should be taken to
avoid excessive heating of the material, which might burn the patient's mouth. Bio-Art
urges the user to carefully follow the instructions of the registration material manufacturer.
• Because the articulator is a precision instrument, it should be handled, transported and
stored carefully. Bio-Art provides a plastic case (optional accessory) exclusively designed
to accommodate the articulator and to facilitate its transportation.
