Important Information On Inserts - Mectron PIEZOSURGERY WHITE Mode D'emploi Et D'entretien

5.5 Important Information on Inserts
WARNING:
• The insert must always be kept moving.
If the insert is blocked or kept in contact
for a long time, thermal damage of
the treated part can be generated (for
example, in the alveolar pockets, in
the interdental septa or in the alveolar
walls during the extraction procedures).
We recommend using a continuous
movement to minimise contact between
the tip and the tissue. We recommend
using high levels of irrigation as the
power level is increased.
• For best performances, apply moderate,
constant pressure on the insert. Do
not apply excessive pressure; let the
ultrasonic vibrations operate.
• When the titanium nitride coating is
visibly worn out, the insert must be
replaced. Use of an overly worn out
insert reduces its cutting efficiency.
• Diamond-coated inserts: the diamond
inserts must be replaced when the
titanium nitride coating is visibly worn
out and, at any rate, after a maximum of
10 treatments.
• Do not activate the handpiece while
the insert is in contact with the treated
part, so that the electronic circuit can
recognize the best point of resonance
of the insert and allow its optimal
performance.
• Check the condition of wear of the
insert and that it is intact before and
during every use. In the event that a
drop in performance becomes apparent,
proceed to replace it.

• Use original Mectron inserts only. Use
of non-original inserts, in addition to
voiding the warranty, damages the
threading of the PIEZOSURGERY® white
handpiece, with the risk of no longer
being able to screw the original inserts
correctly during subsequent use.
Moreover, the device settings are tested
and guaranteed to operate correctly
only when original Mectron inserts are
used.
• Do not change the shape of the insert
in any way by either bending or filing it.
This could cause it to break.
• Do not use an insert that has suffered
any type of deformation.
• Do not attempt to sharpen the insert
used.
• Always check that the threaded parts
of the insert and of the handpiece are
perfectly clean – see the Cleaning and
Sterilization Manual.
• If excessive pressure is applied on the
insert, it can cause the insert to break
and possibly harm the patient.
• For information on how to correctly use
the inserts, refer to the annexed sheet
"Appropriate settings for the inserts
on the PIEZOSURGERY® white" or the
illustrative leaflet of the Mectron insert
you've purchased.
• Before using the PIEZOSURGERY® white,
make sure you have prepared the
operatory site by having first moved
away the soft tissues, to avoid damaging
them. It may happen that, while cutting
the bone, accidental contact of certain
parts of the insert with the soft tissues
inflicts small traumas. To minimize this
risk, use specific protective instruments.
