unit comprising the S
N
UPRASSON
should be rinsed with clean water for 20 to 30
seconds.
For sterilization of the handpiece, please refer to
the specific instructions for the product.
6. 2 TIP MAINTENANCE
a) Life
The shape and the mass of the tips are the
determining factors for obtaining the best results
from the ultrasonic generator. Vigilance on the
part of the user concerning these two
characteristics ensures the device's consistent
performance.

In consequence, we strongly advise against
modifying the structure of the tips by filing or
bending them.
Similarly, the ageing of a tip through normal wear
leads to changes in its characteristics.
Always replace a tip that is worn or which has
suffered an accidental impact (fall etc.).
Use the TIPCARD to check the wear of scaling
tips. Renew the most frequently used tips a
minimum of one to three times a year.
b) Sterilizing tips
All tips should be cleaned before sterilization
with cotton wool soaked in alcohol, wipes or by
immersion in an ultrasonic tank.
Sterilizing tips can be carried out by all
conventional heat processes, the sterilization
conditions and cycles depending on the
HANDPIECE
equipment.
