Preface
Scaler /Polisher unit is developed based on the Principle of piezoelectric
Ultrasonic waves are generated in the handpiece by 4 ceramic piezoelectric plates
subjected to high frequency alternation current. The Tip is vibrated back and forth
in high speed to perform tooth calculus and/or tartar cleaning task. Particularly,
the high speed vibrated Tip can remove the toughest calculus and tartar easily, and
in conjunction with syringe (or saliva ejector), the scaler can conveniently and
swiftly clean teeth and most importantly it is proven to be electrically safe. The
electric-mechanical efficiency of this piezoelectric system is much greater than that
of traditional magnetostrictive systems. There is very little heat released, and it is
possible to work with very little spray. It’s sufficient to ensure excellent cavitation
but more comfortable for both the patient and the dental surgeon.
The ART-SP2 is a very powerful apparatus. There are linear scales of
power adjustment for removing prostheses and condensing gutta-percha. This
allows very fine adjustment to suit each clinical situation.
With a large range of Tips, the ART-SP2 is suitable for different kinds of work.

Special notes to doctor:
Since the TIP of scaler is made of stainless steel, avoid direct contact to patient's
teeth; it may damage to the enamel of the teeth. To better utilize all the functions
and maximize the performance of the scaler, it is suggested that before using on
patients, doctors should practice on models/aluminum plates to familiarize
themselves with the usage of the scaler tips and the subtle motion and force of the
insert, etc.

I. Descriptions and Functionalities of Components
Descriptions of Components
Figure 1. ART-SP2 Outlook diagram
1. Main Unit
It is the heart of the scaler. Functionally, the main unit generates the
needed 29KHz-operation-signal and passes it on to the Handpiece, and
thus induces power to vibrate the Insert inside the Handpiece accordingly.
Due to pressure variations, a signal from the Handpiece will be fed back to
the main unit so that the main unit can track the variation of the loading
and adjust the intensity of the controlling signal accordingly.
2. Handpiece
The Handpiece consists of vibrator and a Tip. The vibrator is composed
of four pieces of piezoelectric plates. It generates displacement when
driven by the electrical signal from the Main Unit . The vibrator will
move the Tip back and forth in high speed based on the waveform change
of the controlling signal. In addition, the movement of the Tip will
induce current on the feedback circuit and the induced signal is then fed
back to the Main Unit to complete the control loop. In accordance with
the movement of the Tip, a powerful water stream (working like a
syringe) will also come out to a) wash away the tooth calculus and tartar,
and b) cool down the temperature of the Tip (heat generated from the
vibration of the Tip).
Caution: Make sure that new Tip is fully seated.

III. Preparation and Practice before the First Use
To better utilize all the functions and maximize the performance of the Bonart
Scaler, it is suggested that before treating patients, users/doctors should practice on
models/aluminum plates to familiarize themselves with the system. Maneuver the
head of the Tip to make gentle touch on an aluminum plate. Try to familiarize
and observe the subtleties of the force strengths under different Tips head angles,
positions, etc. Closely examine the scratches left on the aluminum plate after each
practice, and try to match each scratch to its originated head position and angle.
In addition, adjust the output power intensity by turning the power knob.
Familiarize yourself with the differences when changing the output power intensity.
Finally, adjust the water volume by turning the water volume control knob.
Familiarize yourself and observe the subtleties among different water volume
situations. Observe the temperature of the Handpiece when changing the water
volume. Do not overheat the Handpiece. Perform the above practice procedures
several times to prepare yourself operating on human subjects.
Belows are some applications and ultrasonic movement of the Tip.
A. Tangential application (E5 TIP)
Do not apply E5 Tip directly on the tooth.
It may damage the enamel. Let the
hand piece follow a slow and regular movement.
B.Frontal application (E2 TIP)
Apply E2 tip against the tartar directly,
do not against the tooth directly. Put slight
pressure for movement

Step3: Select the needed Tip, make sure it is fully seated with the Handpiece.
Step4: Set the POWER KNOB to the suitable level for the insert.
Step5: Hold the Handpiece with the Tip end pointing up over a suitable
drain. Step on the foot control and allow water to run from the
handpiece for a few seconds until it flows without spurting.
Caution: The above procedure should be repeated each time when an
Tip is replaced into the handpiece.
Caution: Make sure that the water spray is at the desired temperature
and is reaching the working edge of the tip.
Step6: Place the tip into the patient’s mouth and use the foot control to
activate the handpiece and water flow.
When treating a patient:
1. First position the patient comfortably on the patient chair. Adjust the chair
angle and/or position so that you can easily access to the patient's oral cavity.
2. Put the saliva ejector into patient's mouth to evacuate away excessive saliva
and cleaning remainders.
3. Gently move patient's head so that the oral can be easily accessed with good
direction as shown in the figure below.
During the treatment, keep the angle between patient's tooth surface and the
Handpiece Insert as close to 15 degree as possible. If the patient is not
comfortable during the treatment, try the following steps.
A. When treating place where patient is very sensitive, try to increase the
Handpiece movement speed on the surface.
B. Treat less sensitive place first, return to sensitive areas later.
C. If problem persist, reduce the output power intensity of the Handpiece.
4. Control the handpiece with the foot switch: The Foot control is designed to
control the functions of the Handpiece in two ways as below:
A With the foot held down on the foot control, the Handpiece is activated
and water flows from the Handpiece .
B.With the foot control released, both Handpiece and water flow are shut
off.

5. Water and Temperature
The WATER KNOB control the volume and temperature of water flowing
from the Handpiece by turning the WATER KNOB clockwise or
counterwise until the desired rate of flow is obtained.
When preparing to execute “Polishing” model:
1. Check the micro-motor connection and pushed the “MICRO MOTOR”
change to “Polishing” model.
2. The “Forward / Reverse” that locates rear panel is controlling the micro-
motor revolving direction.
Note: The greater the water flow, the cooler the temperature and vice versa.
Caution: When operating, a continuous flow of water is required to keep the
Handpiece cool.

V. Maintenance
The Bonart unit does not need special maintenance routines but it does need to be
regularly and thoroughly cleaned and sterilized (as described in next section).
Daily start-up
When starting the unit at the beginning of the day:
*Open the water supply shut-off valve.
*Push the MAIN POWER SWITCH to light the on indicator (LED)
Note: If no water come out, please check the water supply.
Note: If power LED does not light, please contact local authorized agent.
Daily shut-off
When stopping the unit at the end of the day:
*Push the POWER SWITCH to turn the unit off.
*Turn off the water supply shut-off valve.
Preparing to treat a patient
*Make sure the TIP has been sterilized.
The following suggestions are also useful in extending the product life of the unit.
A. Place the Main Unit in an open area where air can flow freely around it.
B. If need to move the Main Unit, handle with care.
C. Before leaving the operatory, make sure the AC power is turned off and the
water faucet is tightly closed.
D. After six months or if you find the output power of the Handpiece is not
enough to perform treatment, it is very possible that the Tip is worn out. If the
Tip is worn out, replace it with a new one, otherwise, have your authorized agent
service the system.
E. Customer Service: if service is needed, please contact local authorized agent.
Trouble shooting
Product requires any maintenance should be returned to the customer service
department or authorized service facility. Bonart will repair or replace any
product under warranty at no charge.

VI. Cleaning and Sterilization
In this section we describe the procedures to clean and sterilize the scaler. It is
important to follow these procedures before using the machine, otherwise, patients
and/or doctors may have the possibility of getting infection. It is mandatory
that doctors wear sterilized gloves during these procedures at all time to avoid
any possibilities of incomplete sterilization and/or infection. Below we detail
the infection control procedures for the Handpiece, the Tip, and the Main Unit,
respectively.
Handpiece
Before cleaning, remove the Tip from the Handpiece. Let the Handpiece run
for a couple of seconds to drain out the water and any possible contamination
left inside the Handpiece. The outer surface of the handpiece should be
cleaned with anantiseptic soap or solution. Rinsed off with water and wiped or
sprayed with a chemical disinfectant that is compatible with the handpiece
material, such as a 1:6 dilute solution of Sporicidin brand disinfectant. A
sterile insert or TIP is then reassembled to the handpiece in preparation for the
next patient.
Warning: Do not put the Handpiece and the extension wire directly into
the sterilized fluid. Any left such fluid inside the machine
will interfere with the normal operations of the system.
At the end of the day with the Tip remove, the handpiece and cable should be
scrubbed with an antiseptic soap or solution and rinsed off with water. The
handpiece should be scrubbed a second time with an antiseptic soap or
solution and rinsed off with water.
Warning: The chemical disinfectant should not be allowed to remain on
the surface longer than the recommended time or material
damage may result.
Note: Cleaning of the Hand-piece is suggested after each patient use.
Tip
After each usage, there will be saliva and/or blood or other debris left on the
Tip, consequently, it is necessary to clean the Tip with a supersonic cleaner
first. This can be done manually by scrubbing with a brush or by use of an
ultrasonic cleaner with a solution of detergent and water. After scrubbing. The
Tip should be rinsed thoroughly with water to remove all detergent. Then dry
the rinsed Tip. Finally, put the Tip in a bag and then put it into a medical-
equipment autoclave and sterilize the Tips at 260℉(127℃) for 30 minutes or
as recommended by the manufacturer of the particular sterilizer used.
An alternative, but less desirable method of sterilization is the use of a
compatible chemical sterilant such as Sporicidin brand disinfectant. In this
method, the Tips is immersed at room conditions in the disinfectant at the
appropriate strength and for the recommended period by the manufacturer. The
thoroughly rinsed with sterile water and completely dried.
