05.4 Safety requirements during use
�
DANGER: Contraindications.
Do not use the Piezosurgery on patients with pacemakers or other implantable electronic devices.
This requirement also applies to the operator.
�
DANGER: Breakage and wear of the inserts.
High frequency oscillations and wear may, on rare occasions, lead to breakage of an insert. If the
shape of an insert has been altered or if it is otherwise damaged, it is liable to break while it is
being used. Inserts in these conditions should not be used under any circumstances. In order
to avoid ingestion by the patient of a fragment of a broken insert, he/she should be instructed to
breathe through his/her nose during the treatment.
�
DANGER: Control of infections.
For maximum safety of both the patient and the operator, clean, disinfect and sterilise the piezo-
electric handpiece, the inserts and the torque wrench after each treatment. Follow the appropriate
instructions for doing this provided in point 06.0 “CLEANING AND STERILISATION”.
�
WARNING: Contraindication.
Do not carry out treatments on metal or ceramic prosthetic artefacts. The ultrasonic vibrations could
cause decementing of such artefacts.
�
WARNING: Contraindication.
After autoclave sterilising of the handpiece, wait for it to cool down completely before using it.
�
WARNING: The electrical contacts inside the cord connector must be dry.
Before connecting the handpiece to the device, make sure that the electrical contacts of the
connector are perfectly dry, in particular after the autoclave sterilisation cycle. If necessary, dry the
contacts by blowing air onto them with the syringe
�

10.0 The inserts
Sharp inserts.
The sharp edges of these inserts can be used to treat bone structures efciently and effectively.
Sharp inserts are used in osteotomy and osteoplasty when a ne and well-dened cut in the bone
structure concerned is required. There are also inserts with sharp edges for osteoplasty techniques
and for removing bone fragments.
Smoothing inserts.
The smoothing inserts have surfaces shaped in such a way that they can be used to work the bone
structures with precision and in a controlled manner. Smoothing inserts are used in osteotomy
when it is necessary to prepare difcult and delicate structures such as those for preparing a maxil-
lary sinus window or to complete preparation of the site of an implant.
Blunt inserts.
Blunt inserts are used for separating the soft tissues, for example for detaching Schneider’s
membrane or for lateralising nerves. In periodontology, these inserts are used to smooth the root
surfaces.
