Preparation for Use
CAUTION
Pay attention to the Scaler Cord not to be twisted when tightening the Tip.
•
Be careful of the pointed end of the Tip when replacing a Tip that is longer than the Tip Wrench.
•
Do not use a Tip which has a crack, a bend, or rust. The Tip may snap during use.
•
If the Tip Wrench is rotated at an angle, the threads may bend or vibration becomes insufficient.
•
If installed with the Handpiece or the threads of the Tip having dirt on, abnormal sound or weakening/
•
stopping of vibration may occur. Remove the dirt from the threads.
Do not sharpen or change the angle of the Tip. It could cause abnormal sound, Tip breakage, or stopping
•
of vibration during use.
Tip is a wear item. When it is worn, abnormal sound, weakening/stopping of vibration or breakage may
•
occur. When abnormal sound or vibration weakening is detected, replace the Tip with a new one.
Tighten the Tip with attached Tip Wrench until hearing a clicking sound. If the tightening is not enough, it
•
may cause abnormal sound or vibration weakening.
When replacing the Tip, be sure to wear sterilized gloves and use a sterilized Tip, Handpiece, and Tip
•
Wrench.
Be sure to use the Tip at or under the maximum power written on the Tip Case or the Tip Power Guide.
•
If it is used over the maximum power, a noise, breakage of the Tip, or damage to the tooth surface may
occur.
Other than the prosthesis removing Tip (metal crown and porcelain crown), do not contact anything to the
•
prosthesis to prevent from coming off or being damaged.
When connecting/disconnecting the Handpiece, be sure to remove the Tip to prevent injuries.
•
If the Tip stops vibrating during use, take out the Handpiece from the patient’s mouth and step on the
•
foot control again. If the condition does not improve, check the connection of the Tip because there is a
possibility that the Tip has become loose during use.
If looseness of the Tip, a noise, or vibration weakening does not improve even after tightening the Tip with
•
the Tip Wrench until hearing a clicking sound, the Tip Wrench might be worn. Replace the Tip Wrench
after about one-year of use because it is a wear item.
When using a file as a Tip to enlarge the root canal, ensure you understand its characteristics and the
•
application area.

Preparation for Use
4-4 Using the Tip Card
Measure the length of the Tip end by comparing with the corresponding Tip illustration and check the
replacement time. It is recommended to replace the Tip when the length of the Tip becomes “Yellow Line:
1mm worn” for safe and efficient use.
Green Line : Not worn.
(
No replacement is needed.
Yellow Line : 1mm worn.

Replacement is recommended.
Red Line : 2mm worn.

CAUTION
Tip is a wear item, check the abrasion degree with the attached Tip Card and replace the Tip properly.
•
Tip is a wear item, the tartar removal
•
efficiency decreases by 25% when the Tip
end is worn by 1mm, and 50% when the
Tip end is worn by 2mm.
Also, the vibration condition may change
and damage the tooth surface. Check the
abrasion degree with the Tip Card regularly
and replace the Tip with a new one early.

Follow local rules, regulations, and guidelines regarding the reprocessing of devices.
•
Do not autoclave the Scaler Cord and the O-ring.
•
Do not conduct ultraviolet sterilization for the Scaler Handpiece. This could cause discoloration.
•
Do not autoclave the product with other instruments even when it is in a pouch. This is to prevent possible
•
discoloration and damage to the product from chemical residue on other instruments.
Do not heat or cool the product too quickly. Rapid change in temperature could cause damage to the
•
product
Be sure to use sterilizers that can perform sterilization up to 135°C. In some sterilizers, the chamber
•
temperature may exceed 135°C. Do not use these sterilizers as failure of the product could occur. Contact
the sterilizer manufacturer for detailed information about cycle temperatures.
Clean the Scaler Handpiece, the Tip and the Tip Wrench prior to disinfect. If blood remains on the internal
•
surface it can become clotted and cause product failure.
Keep the product in suitable atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, ventilation, and sunlight. The
•
air should be free from dust, salt and sulphur.
Do not touch the product immediately after autoclaving as it will be very hot and must remain in a sterile
•
condition.
English
CAUTION
Aotoclave sterilization is recommended for the Scaler Handpiece, the Tip and the Tip Wrech. The validity
•
of other sterilization methods (such as plasma sterilization or EOG sterilization) is not confirmed.
Immediately after sterilization is complete (within 1 hour), remove the Scaler Handpiece, the Tip and the
•
Tip Wrech from the sterilizer. Failure to do so may cause corrotion.
In case of using a sterilization case, be sure to individually insert the Scaler Handpiece, the Tip, the
•
Tip Wrench into the sterilization case, then insert the sterilization case into the sterilization pouch that
conforms to ISO 11607-1.
NOTICE
NSK recommends Class B sterilizer as stated in EN 13060.

9-3 Operation Principle
The sine wave electrical signal output from the ultrasonic wave oscillator is input to the oscillator which is
laminated with piezoelectric ceramics. The input electrical signal is converted into the mechanical vibration
through piezoelectric ceramics. The vibration will be transmitted to the Tip mounted at the end of the
oscillator and functions as it is made for.
