Performing Ultrasonic Scaling Procedures
1. Use purified or distilled water to prevent infection when patients experience tissue laceration
during treatment
2. Keep the power cord tidy to avoid tripping and other accidents.
3. Position the footswitch in an easily accessible spot for the user. Keep the footswitch cord
tidy to avoid tripping and other accidents.
4. Lock the tip in the hand piece securely using the enclosed wrench.
CAUTION: DO NOT FORCE OR OVERTURN THE TIP INTO PLACE! Doing so will
damage the tip, hand piece, and wrench.
NOTE: the scaler will not operate if the tip is either removed from the hand piece or
improperly installed.
5. Hold the hand piece over a sink or drain with a tip installed. Verify that water is reaching the
tip.
6. Check your Bonart piezo tip for wear and replace as needed.
7. Use the foot control to regulate water flow to the hand piece. Hold down the foot control to
allow water to flow through. Release the foot control to stop.
8. Adjust the water flow to the desired level using the water-adjustment knob. Increase the
water flow by turning the water control knob clockwise. Decrease the water flow by turning
the water control knob counter-clockwise.
NOTE: Increased water flow results in a cooler hand piece temperature and vice versa.
CAUTION: During operation, a continuous flow of water is required to keep the hand piece
cool.
