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.
