Operation; Handpiece Indicator; Lights (When In Use) - Midwest RDH Freedom Instrucciones De Uso

13. Operation

13.1 The handpiece powers up when it detects motion, i.e. when the user picks it up. If not in use, it will shut
down again after a minute.
13.2 Load the DPA with prophy paste and depress the foot pedal slowly to avoid splatter. The DPA (motor) will
only rotate in one direction.
13.3 Adjust pressure on the foot pedal to control the rotation speed of the DPA throughout the procedure.
13.4 Follow standard prophylaxis procedures as you would with any corded prophy device.
13.5 You only need to apply a light pressure during polishings. Applying excessive force to the polishing surface
may slow or stop the rotation of the DPA and result in ineffective polishing.
13.6 The Handpiece Cradle should be placed on the instrument tray so that the Handpiece may be placed in it to
avoid the handpiece possibly rolling and falling off the tray during a prophylaxis procedure.
