CAUTION:
Remove AC power by disconnecting line cord
before performing any maintenance on the unit.

Maintenance and service

PerFect TCS II has been carefully designed and constructed to
ensure reliability and long life. Other than protecting the unit from
misuse or damage, minimum maintenance is required. Should your
PerFect TCS II fail to perform in accordance with specifications, if
any component is dropped or mishandled, or if any evidence of
damage is found, the unit should not be used. Return it to your
dental dealer or to Coltène/Whaledent for servicing. We urge you
to periodically examine your unit and accessories for visible signs of
damage or wear. Yearly verification of performance characteristics
is recommended.
CAUTION:
Disconnect the PerFect TCS II from AC power
source before performing the following maintenance.
Sterilizing electrode
handpiece cord
For safety and optimum performance, sterilize each electrode sheath
before initial use and after each subsequent use.
1.
Remove all debris from the electrode sheath by scrubbing with
brush and soap and water. Do not bend wire.
2.
Clean in an ultrasonic cleaner, (such as Coltène/Whaledent's
BioSonic Ultrasonic
®
non-ammoniated solution
manufacturer's directions. Remove and rinse thoroughly.
3.
Sterilize electrode sheath via autoclave at 132°C for 15 minutes in
a bag according to the directions of the sterilizer manufacturer.
Do not use dry heat, cold sterilization or chemiclave. Make sure
connector area is dry before assembly.
4.
The handpiece cord assembly may be wiped clean with gauze
pads saturated in 70% ethyl alcohol after unplugging from
unit. Before use, dry the connector area thoroughly with a dry
wipe and by gently blowing air on the connector.
5.
The unit may be wiped clean with gauze pads dampened in
70% ethyl alcohol after unplugging the unit. Assure that it is
thoroughly dry before use.
6.
The dispersive electrode assembly may be wiped clean with
gauze pads dampened in 70% ethyl alcohol after unplugging
from the unit. Assure that it is thoroughly dry before use.
CAUTION:
The following test must be performed by
a technician who has been trained in maintenance of
electrosurge units and is aware of the potential for RF burns.

Electrosurge Analyzer

The use of an electrosurgical device analyzer to measure
performance of the PerFect TCS II will likely indicate lower than
expected output power. The capacitive loading caused by the
input circuit of the analyzer will detune the output circuit of the
PerFect TCS II electrosurge. Measurement can still be made by
making direct connection to the PerFect TCS II at the output BNC
connector on the side of the unit rather than using the supplied
cable. Eliminating the cable will reduce output capacitance by
250 pF. An additional capacitance will have to be added to bring the
total output capacitance (analyzer input circuit plus added capacitor) to
250 pF. Any capacitor added to the output must be rated for at
least 1000V.
