Ultrasound Attachments
Please note that according to statements by dentists, for hygienic reasons the ultrasound attachment is
not suitable for use by several people. The same ultrasound attachment should always be used by one
person. For this reason, the bristles of the ultrasound attachments are marked in colour in order to make
the assignment to several family members easy. The ultrasound attachments should be replaced after
ca. three months, since the bristles start to become soft from this point in time, which deteriorates the ul-
trasound transmission. For this purpose, remove the old ultrasound attachment vertically upward (please
do not remove sideways, you can damage the contact pins of the handpiece while doing so). Firmly press
the new ultrasound attachment vertically from above into the handpiece, with bristles facing forward in
the direction of the start button (caution: there is a snap lock; please carefully press open, do not pinch
your skin while doing so).
Ultrasound Toothpaste
The erroneous opinion is often expressed that ultrasound requires water as a transmission medium (as
is frequently known from ultrasonic baths). It is correct that the suitable transmission medium depends
on the ultrasonic frequency and ultrasonic output. Examples are generally known from other medical
applications such as cerebral examinations, ocular examinations, gastric examinations with ultrasound,
etc. The suitable transmission media, ointments and gels, are of different consistency here. A special
toothpaste (Emmi-dent) is used for dental micro cleaning, without which the ultrasound cannot take effect
(millions of micro-bubbles only form in this medium). The ultrasound cannot form any micro-bubbles in
conventional toothpastes. One reason for this is that these toothpastes contain a relatively high percent-
age of "abrasive substances" (a measurement for this is the so-called RDA value, which lies at 70 – 130
with conventional toothpastes; in comparison, the RDA value with dental micro cleaning is nil). Therefore,
please note that Emmi-dent Ultrasound Toothpaste must be used for dental micro cleaning.
Tartar Remover
The Tartar Remover functions mechanically without ultrasound. It can, but does not have to be, inserted
into the handpiece. It removes strong tartar by carefully abrading the dental surfaces with the dark tip
(please do not rub too strongly so as not to damage the dental enamel).
Battery Care and Disposal
The batteries are in the device's waterproof handpiece. After use, the handpiece can be placed back in
the charging station again, or if it is fully charged, it can be used for up to ca. 10 days without recharg-
ing. If the total cleaning time lasts longer than 10 minutes (e.g. with several users), the batteries can be
recharged in an appropriately shorter period of time. Absolutely make sure that the batteries are never
completely discharged. Once the batteries have reached a critical discharge value, the green display is
not illuminated when the device is turned on. The display is illuminated in red and starts to blink after 5
seconds. If this is the case, the device absolutely has to be recharged, since otherwise the batteries can
be damaged.
The device contains special environmentally-friendly NiMH batteries which may not be disposed of with
household waste. In Germany, the collection containers of the GRS Batteries Foundation (common col-
lection system) and other collection points (e.g. all points of sale for similar batteries) are available for
disposal).
GUARANTEE
There is a guarantee of 24 months – from date of purchase – for this product. Defects which arise during
this guarantee period in the form of material and/or manufacturing defects will be remedied at no charge,
