7.4 Adjusts the power
The ultrasound power must be adjusted in accordance with the tip used and the required treatment. The operating
power of the tips must be selected in compliance with the Acteon tips color coding system (CCS tips).
Each tip must be used in accordance with the settings defined in the ultrasonic generator irrigation and power settings
table [J58000].
The ultrasound power configuration button is used to set the operating power: 1 to 20.
Rotating the button causes the colour of the medical device's backlighting to change.
lGreen: 1 to 6: very low to low power, used mainly for periodontics.
lYellow: 6 to 11: medium power, used mainly for endodontics.
lBlue: 11 to 16: high power, used mainly for scaling and preservation and restoration dentistry.
lOrange: 16 to 20: very high power, used mainly for loosening.
The ultrasound power configuration button can be removed by the user to facilitate the cleaning and disinfection of the
control unit. The button cannot be sterilised.
7.5 Setting the irrigation flow
The medical device must be set to minimum power to adjust the irrigation flow rate. Press the footswitch until a spray
appears.
Because work habits, feedback and professional training differ from one professional to another, the user must ensure
that the irrigation flow is compatible with the procedure to be carried out to prevent burns to the clinical site.
Adjust the irrigation flow using the irrigation flow configuration button. The flow rate must be adapted to the tip used
and to the required treatment.
Tighten to decrease the flow rate and loosen to increase the flow rate.
The irrigation flow configuration button is not designed to be removed.
