Preface
About the ART-SP2 Scaler/Polisher Combo Unit
The ART-SP2 is CE 2460 certified in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Council
Directive 93/42/EEC. The reviewing council also classifies the ART-SP2 in accordance with
EN60601-1 and EN60601-1-2 safety requirements.
How it works
The ART-SP2 Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Scaler generates ultrasonic waves in the hand piece to
vibrate the tip, which allows the ART-SP2 to remove calculus and tartar easily. These ultrasonic
waves are created by 4 ceramic piezoelectric plates subjected to high frequency alternating
currents.
The piezoelectric transducer operates at a frequency of 29khz with minimal noise and heat, and
efficiently reduces the amount of cooling water required during treatment. This
electric-mechanical feature provides greater efficiency than traditional magnetostrictive systems.
Features:
Scaler and polisher in one system
Automatic phase lock and power control
Automatic feedback control
Micro-motor speed control of 2,000 to 30,000 RPMS
Supplies & Replacement Part
To order supplies or replacement parts in the U.S., please contact one of our authorized
distributors listed on www.askmagpie.com . For outside of U.S., please email to
[email protected].
CAUTION：Since the scaling tip is made of stainless steel, avoid direct contact with teeth.
Direct contact will cause damage to teeth enamel. For optimum performance, we suggest
practicing on a model or aluminum plates to become more familiar with the scaling tips before
performing on patients.
