WARNING: During the intervention on
the patient, do not perform any maintenance
tasks on the system.
5.3.1
Ultrasonic Scaler
WARNING: Use of non-original
inserts not produced by MECTRON: this
entails permanent damage to the thread
of the handpiece and compromises correct
operation with the risk of causing harm to the
patient.
CAUTION: Contraindications. Do not
perform treatments on metal or ceramic
prosthetics. Ultrasonic vibrations could lead
to decementation of the dentures.
WARNING: Contraindications. Do not
use combi touch on patients with Pacemakers
or other implantable electronic devices. This
regulation also stands for the operator.
WARNING: Do not perform scaling
treatments without water spray in order
to avoid an overheating of the insert that
can cause damage to the tooth. Treatments
without water spray can only be those
performed with the "Dry Work" inserts
without water passage.
CAUTION: In treatments requiring
irrigation, use only inserts with a liquid
passage.
WARNING: Treatments that require
irrigation. Always check the operation of the
irrigation before and during use. Make sure
that the liquid exits from the insert.
Do not use the appliance if the irrigation
does not work or if the pump is faulty.
WARNING: To ensure that the handpiece
cools down activate it always with irrigation
circuit installed and properly filled. To fill
the irrigation circuit, always use the flush
function.

CAUTION: For correct use of the
appliance, the pedal must be pressed and
the appliance started with the insert not in
contact with the part to be treated, so that
the electronic circuit is able to recognise
the best point of resonance of the insert
without interference, thus allowing optimum
performance.
WARNING: Before each treatment
ensure that the insert that is suitable for the
treatment is inserted on the handpiece.
Use only the Mectron torque wrench to
secure the insert to the handpiece.
WARNING: Do not change the insert
whilst the handpiece is in operation in order
to avoid causing injury to the operator.
CAUTION: Flush function. After use with
aggressive and non-aggressive solutions,
the tubes and handpiece must be cleaned
using the flush function (See
page 40
). If the tubes are not cleaned,
the crystallisation of the salts may seriously
damage the device.
WARNING: Insert breakage and wear.
High frequency oscillations and wear can, in
rare cases, lead to the breakage of the insert.
Do not bend, change shape or sharpen an
insert in no way.
Folding an insert or levering on it can cause
the insert to break.
Deformed or otherwise damaged inserts, are
susceptible to breakage during use. These
inserts should never be used.
Excessive pressure on the inserts during
use can lead to breakage. In the event of
breakage check that no fragments remain
in the treated part and at the same time
use suction effectively to remove them.
The patient must be instructed to breathe
through the nose during the treatment, or
use a dental dam, so as to avoid ingesting
fragments of broken inserts.
