6.2. NON-AUTOCLAVABLE COMPONENTS

The ENDO micromotor / cord, the ultrasonic handpiece cord, the footswitch and the control unit are not sterilizable.
Wipe the micromotor/cord, the handpiece cord, the footswitch and the control unit with an appropriate dental disinfectant sol ution (e.g.
Septol wipes).
Ensure that the product has evaporated and that there is no combustible product on the device and accessories before operation.

6.3. REPLACEMENT INSTRUMENTS

 After certain time of use the tips and files will change due to average wear. Refer to the tip card of SATELEC
given by the files manufacturers.
 Follow the instructions and precautions in the Tip Book from SATELEC
 Replace the instruments if necessary depending on degree of wear and duration of usage.
 Reorder replacement parts from your local supplier.

7. MAINTENANCE

Upon completion of the dental procedure and before maintenance, disconnect the handpieces, the cords and remove the instrumen t from
the handpieces.

7.1. ULTRASONIC HANDPIECE

 As a routine : after treatment with irrigation flow, flush the water circuits of the handpiece and tip with distilled water at low power
level for around 20-30 seconds by pressing down the footswitch button (Fig. 4.2).
 In case of damage, excessive wear at least once a year: replace the watertight O-ring which is located in the rear part by using the
fitting tool (for details see Fig 7 below).

Note
Lubricate the water-tight O-ring with appropriate dental lubricant in order to prolong its efficacy and prevent internal leaks.

7.2. TIP MAINTENANCE

Basically, shape and mass of a tip are the determining factors to obtain consistent performance of the ultrasonic generator.
 The thinner the diameter of a tip, the less the tip should be re-used.
 After a certain time of usage the shape of a tip will gradually be modified, i.e. the tip will become shorter.
 Operation with a worn tip will lead to longer preparation time and may increase temperature in the cavity or root canal. It m ay also
lead to tip breakage.

7.3. MOTOR MAINTENANCE

Do not sterilize or lubricate the micromotor and do not disassemble the motor or motor connector
 External surface of the micromotor may be cleaned with a damp cloth or disinfectant wipe. Do not place micromotor in ultrason ic
sterilizers.
 Do not bend motor cord sharply.
 Do not drop or impact the micromotor against a hard surface as the micromotor is sensitive to shock.
