MANUAL OF USE AND MAINTENANCE
DANGER: The apparatus cannot be sterilised.
After each treatment carry out the following operations:
1 Remove the insert from the scaler handpiece.
2 Clean and disinfect the surfaces of the casing, the cords and their connectors using a
cloth moistened with a mild detergent or disinfectant solution with a neutral pH (pH 7).
Follow carefully the instructions given by the manufacturer of the disinfectant solution.
Allow the disinfectant solution to dry in the air before using the apparatus.
NOTE: Water-based disinfecting solutions with a neutral pH are highly recommended.
Some alcohol-based disinfecting solutions may be harmful and discolour or otherwise
damage plastic materials.
06.3 - Sterilisation procedure
WARNING: Carry out sterilisation using only a steam autoclave.
Do not use any other type of sterilisation procedure (dry heat, radiation, ethylene oxide,
gas, low-temperature plasma, etc.).
DANGER: Infection control - Parts that can be sterilised.
In order to avoid bacterial or viral infections, always clean, disinfect and sterilise the fol-
lowing components after each treatment:
1 Handpiece (Fig.3 - Ref.E);
2 Inserts (Fig.3 - Ref.C);
3 Wrench for tightening the inserts (Fig.3 - Ref.D);
4 Peristaltic pump tube (Fig.3 - Ref.N);
5 Cord / peristaltic pump tube connection (Fig.3 - Ref.F).
The above components are made of materials that will withstand a maximum temperature
of 135 °C for maximum of 20 minutes.
All the stages of sterilisation must be carried out by the operator in accordance with EN
554 and EN 556 standards.
06.4 - Autoclave sterilisation of the handpiece
WARNING: Handpiece and cord can’t be detached.
WARNING: Do not dip the handpiece into disinfectant solutions or liquids of
any other kind since this could damage it.

WARNING: The electric contacts of the connectors of the handpiece and of the
cord must be dry.
At the end of the sterilisation cycle and before connecting the handpiece to the cord, make
sure that the electric contacts of both connectors are completely dry. If necessary, dry the
contacts by blowing air onto them with the syringe.
