Preface
About the ART-SP6 Scaler/Polisher Combo Unit
The ART-SP6 is CE 0434 certified in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Council
Directive 93/42/EEC. The reviewing council also classifies the ART-SP6 in accordance with
EN60601-1 and EN60601-1-2 safety requirements.
The ART-SP6 utilizes piezoelectric ultrasonic waves generated by 4 ceramic piezoelectric plates
located in the hand piece. These plates, subject to high frequency current begin to vibrate. The
ART-SP6 contains a highly efficient transducer that provides an operating frequency of 29 KHz
with minimal noise at a lower temperature, thus reducing the amount of cooling water needed
during operation. The vibrations from the hand piece in combination with lower cooling water
requirements produce the perfect device for removing tough calculus and tartar with ease.

Precautions for Ultrasonic Prophylaxis Procedures
Discard and replace piezo tips as needed. Scaling tips wear out with use and should be
replaced after 2mm of wear (approximately 3 to 4 months) to maintain optimal performance
Discard and replace piezo tips that are bent, damaged, or reshaped. Do not reuse deformed tips
BONART piezo tips are made of stainless steel. Avoid direct contact with teeth to prevent
damage to the enamel. We strongly advise practicing on models and aluminum plates prior to
operating on a live subject with the ART-SP6.
Avoid direct contact of piezo tips with the subject’s lips, cheeks, and tongue.
Wipe accretions from the tooth using the long axis of the scaler tip. DO NOT gouge the tooth.
