Owner's Guide
C. At the end of each day
Do Not Use Petroleum Based Solvents, Iodophors Or
Phenolic Based Products. (Iodophors And Phenolics
Can Stain The Surface Of The Unit.) Clean Up All
CAUTION!
Liquid Spills Immediately.
1. Remove all ultrasonic inserts, clean and sterilize as applicable.
2. Clean and disinfect the unit and peripherals as done before
each patient. Clean components by wiping with a soft cloth
moistened with a commercially available mineral deposit
remover followed by Alpet D2.
3. Flush All Water Lines Thoroughly.
4. Turn the unit OFF.
5. Close the main shut-off valve from the dental water supply.
D. Inspecting the power cord, water lines, filter and handpiece
• Periodically check and inspect the power cord, water lines, filter
and handpiece for damage, wear or clogging.
• Check connectors at both ends of the cord to make sure they
are fully seated.
E. Inspecting the scaler insert O-ring
• Inspect the rubber O-ring for wear and/or damage. O-rings
will wear over time due to repeated sterilization. When the
O-ring is worn and/or damaged, leakage will occur between
the handpiece and the scaler insert.
• Roll the worn or damaged O-ring over the laminate stack off
the scaler insert, and roll a new O-ring onto the scaler insert
until seated in the groove on the colored plastic grip.
F. Changing the fuse
Replace the fuse with the exact fuse type and rating
to avoid risk of fire.
WARNING!
To avoid risk of electric shock, unplug the unit before
attempting to change the fuse.

VI. Information for safety
Contraindications
The Biosonic
US100R Ultrasonic Scaler should not be used for/on:
®
• Restorative dental procedures involving the condensation of
amalgam
• Surgical or endodontic procedures
• Patients highly susceptible to infections
• Patients with chronic respiratory problems
• Patients with dysphagia or swallowing difficulty with water
flow
• Patients with cardiovascular disease with secondary pulmonary
disease or chronic pulmonary disease due to a risk of aspiration
of MOs in biofilm
Precautions
• Persons fitted with cardiac pacemakers or any other intra-
corporeal active medical device (e.g. insulin pump, defibrillator,
etc.) have been cautioned that some types of electronic
equipment might interfere with the operation of such devices.
Although no instances of intra-corporeal medical electronic
device interference have ever been reported during use of the
Biosonic
US100R Ultrasonic Scaler, we recommend that the
®
handpiece and cables be kept at least 6 to 9 in (15 to 23 cm)
away from any pacemaker or pacemaker leads during use.
Clinicians should contact the pacemaker manufacturer or
the patient's physician for detailed information about the
pacemaker.
