Note
There may be some liquid remaining inside the main appliance
(tank, water suction tube, etc.), but this is remaining distilled water
that was used for the performance (water flow) test, so there are
no health concerns.
Before using the appliance
Initially bleeding may occur even with healthy gums. This is caused
because the gums are not used to such stimulation. The bleeding
will normally stop within 1 or 2 weeks of use. There may be a
problem with the gums (periodontal disease, etc.) if the bleeding
continues for over 2 weeks. In such cases, stop using the
appliance and consult the dentist.
