An essential part of your periodontal and prophylaxis therapy
Congratulations on your purchase of a Coltène/Whaledent BioSonic
model US100R Ultrasonic Scaler — the finest, most efficient scaler
in dentistry.
Developed specifically for dentistry, Coltène/Whaledent Bio Sonic
model US100R Ultrasonic Scaler (hereinafter referred to in this
manual as the "unit") is uniquely designed to save time and space,
and increase safety in the dental treatment area.
What is scaling?
Scaling is the process by which calculus is removed from the tooth
surface. This can be accomplished using either hand instruments
(such as hand scalers or curettes) or ultrasonic scalers. When
using ultrasonic scalers, high frequency waves generated within
the ultrasonic handpiece cause the tip of the insert to vibrate at
25,000 or 30,000 cycles per second. This action can remove
calculus from tooth surfaces more effectively and more rapidly than
hand instruments.
Ultrasonic applications
• Routine debridement
• Periodontal therapy
I. Unpacking
A. Remove the unit from the shipping carton and inspect it for
any damage which may have occurred during shipping.
The shipping carton should contain:
1 US100R Unit
1 Handpiece Assembly
1 Foot Switch Assembly
1 Water Line Assembly with Filter
1 Power Cord
1 Owner's Guide
1 Warranty Card
1 Quick Start-up Reference Guide
2 Spare Filters
B. Check the serial number on the underside of the unit against
the number on the shipping carton. If these numbers are not the
same, contact your dealer.
C. Complete the warranty card and mail to Coltène/Whaledent
within 10 days of receipt.
D. Position the unit for easy access during patient treatment and
also near a wall receptacle and cold water line. Make sure that
the unit is placed on a solid surface, such as a counter top.
II. Set Up

• Incoming cold water supply line pressure to the unit must be
a minimum of 25 psi (172 kPa/1.724 bar) to a maximum of 50
psi (345 kPa/3.447 bar).
• The use of an in-line filter to be placed between the main shut-
off valve and the unit is recommended. The main shut-off valve
is a part of the plumbing in the operatory.
• Although the unit has a filter, it is not intended to replace a
filter in the main line. The filter will capture smaller particles to
further prevent handpiece clogging.
• The dental water line should be thoroughly flushed prior to
connection to the unit.
B. Water supply line connection
• Insert water line tube into fitting located on the rear of the unit.
Fitting will grip the tube before a complete seal is made. Make
sure the tube is pushed all the way into the tube stop. Pull on
the tube to insure it is secure. (Fig. 1 & 2)
• Check to ensure in-line filter is tightly attached to both sections
of the tube.
• Connect other end of tube to office cold water supply line.
• Open the main shut-off valve.
• Inspect all connections to make certain there are no leaks.
C. Handpiece
• Push the connector on the handpiece assembly into the connector
in the front of the unit. The connector will fit only in one way.
(Fig. 3)
• Be sure the handpiece is securely connected.
D. Foot Switch Assembly
• Push the foot switch connector into the back of the unit.
(Fig. 4)
E. Power cord/power connection
• Plug the detachable power cord into the back of the
unit (Fig. 5).
• Insert the grounded plug supplied with the unit into a properly
grounded electric receptacle, preferably "Hospital Grade."
• NOTE: If the grounded plug supplied with the unit does not
fit the electric receptacle in your office, contact your dealer or
the manufacturer for instructions. The unit is manufactured in
two versions, one for use with 90–126 VAC, and one for use
with 198–265 VAC. Make certain you are using the correct unit
for the VAC supplied to your office. Use of the wrong mains
voltage or use of an unauthorized voltage converter will void
the unit's warranty.
• Check the LED above the ON/OFF push button switch. If it
is illuminated (green), the unit is ON. If it is not illuminated,
depress the switch button to turn the unit on. The unit is
shipped with the switch in the OFF position.
F. Frequency Switch
• Move switch on the back of the unit to the correct frequency for
the insert you will be using. The BioSonic US100R is preset at 30K.
(Fig. 6)
III. Operating Instructions
A. Patient preparation and positioning
• Have the patient perform an antimicrobial pre-procedural
mouthrinse to reduce bacterial contamination of the aerosol.
• Place the dental chair in a supine position for optimal access
to both the maxillary and mandibular arches. This improves
patient comfort and increases clinician visibility.
• Position the patient's head for optimum access to the quadrant
and tooth surface being treated. Evacuate water and debris
with a saliva ejector or high volume evacuator.
B. Ultrasonic scaling procedures
NOTE: Refer to section IV (Maintenance and Infection Control)
