INSTRUCTIONS

FOR USE

LIGHT-TRANSMITTING
ULTRASONIC INSERTS

NOT RETURNABLE
IF OPENED.

If necessary to return insert,
please use a shipping box,

not an envelope or padded
mailer.

IMPORTANT:

Parkell’s TurboVue™
Light-Transmitting Ultrasonic

Inserts are designed for

operation in Parkell’s
TurboVue™ Ultrasonic
Scaler. They will provide the

benet of a bright, white light
to the operating eld when

used with Parkell TurboVue™

Scalers, but will function as

standard scaling inserts
when used with other
scaling units.

PRECAUTIONS:

These inserts utilize a

durable, autoclavable glass

sleeve to transmit the light

Rx ONLY

CAUTION: NON-STERILE.

STERILIZE BEFORE USE

This manual, in whole or in

part, should not be

considered a substitute for

formal training in Ultrasonic

Scaling. Appropriate

professional education is

STRONGLY

RECOMMENDED prior to

using this device clinically.

from the handpiece to the

operating eld. While

breakage is highly unlikely

under normal use, abuse

of the insert may create a

safety hazard. Inspect the

insert and the light guide
for any visible damage
before each use.

Do not bend or reshape

insert. Inserts should be

handled with care at all
times. Ultrasonic insert tips

that have been bent,

reshaped or otherwise
damaged are susceptible
to in-use breakage and
should be discarded and
replaced immediately.

Make sure the insert’s
green O-ring is in place
before use, and lubricate

with water prior to inserting
into the handpiece.
Replace worn or damaged

O-rings with Parkell Stock
No. DORING-GR.

During scaling procedures,

all intra-oral soft tissues
should be protected to
avoid contact with the
vibrating tip. To avoid

gouging the tooth, keep the

tip parallel to (not
perpendicular to) the

tooth’s long axis. Use a
controlled wiping motion,

with copious water
irrigation.

While Parkell “Universal”
tips and “Burnett
Power-Tips™” may be

used at any power setting

from “low” to “high”, thin
“Perio-style” tips should

not be used above your

scaler’s “medium” power

setting.

CLEANING AND
STERILIZATION:

Inserts must be carefully
scrubbed to remove debris,

either by hand with a brush
or in an ultrasonic cleaner.
Use non-ammoniated
detergent or dishwashing

soap, followed by a cold

water rinse. Do not use
ammoniated cleansers or
disinfectants.

Steam Autoclaving
following manufacturer’s
instructions is the preferred

sterilization technique, as it

minimizes degradation of
the insert’s materials.

“Chemical Vapor”

sterilization may also be

used. “Dry Heat” or “Cold
Sterilization” are not
recommended, as they
may not be as effective,
and may cause the O-ring

to deteriorate.
