SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Aseptico accepts no liability for direct or consequential injury or damage resulting from improper
use, arising in particular through the non-observance of the operating instructions, or improper
preparation and maintenance.
WARNING: Clean, disinfect, and sterilize new or repaired handpieces and instruments before
first use and between each patient use. Only use sterilized handpieces and
instruments during treatment. Non-sterilized handpieces and instruments may cause
bacterial or viral infections. Always sterilize handpieces and instruments after
operation.
CAUTION: Always examine unit components for damage before commencing treatment.
Damaged components must not be used and must be replaced.
WARNING: Use for intended purposes only. ailure to observe the operating instructions may
result in the patient or user suffering serious injury or the product being damaged,
possibly beyond repair. Before using this product, make sure that you have studied
and understood the operating instructions.
WARNING: Do not install where there is a risk of an explosion. The Mobile Dental System is not
intended for operation in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases.
WARNING: CONTRAINDICATIONS
Ultrasonic oscillations emitted by the Ultrasonic Scaler may prevent the proper
function of cardiac pacemakers. Therefore, Aseptico recommends that patients with
a cardiac pacemaker should not be treated with the Ultrasonic Scaler component of
the AMC-20C Cart.
WARNING: The Ultrasonic Scaler instrument tips oscillate at high frequency and can fracture
during operation. To help prevent the tips from fracturing and possibly injuring the
patient, always follow the scaler manufacturer's operating instructions and
recommended ultrasonic power settings.
WARNING: Do not use the Ultrasonic Scaler dry. If used dry, the Instrument Tip will heat
