 Check wear of the Tip.
3
)
 See the green, yellow and red line to check wear of the Tip. *See below what each color means. At NSK we recommend 
to replace a Tip when the Tip meets the yellow line 
(
wear of 1mm
)
 to guarantee safe and effective use.
Green: No wear - Tip is OK
Tip replacement is not necessary.
Red: Wear of 2mm - Tip is badly worn
Tip replacement is necessary.
Yellow: Wear of 1mm - Tip is showing some wear
Tip replacement is recommended.
Tips are consumables. The efficiency of dental scaling 
decreases approximately 25% when the top of the Tip 
wears 1 mm and approximately 50% when it wears 2 mm. 
In addition, the vibration condition changes owing to the 
wear, which may damage a patient’s tooth surface. Check 
the Tip wear condition with the Tip Card periodically, and 
replace the Tip with a new one in good time.
