parkell TurboSENSOR D560-110 User manual

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Parkell TurboSENSOR™ is an autotune
magnetostrictive ultrasonic tooth scaler that
operates at either 25 KHz or 30 KHz.
The TurboSENSOR automatically detects
whether the handpiece contains a 25 KHz or
30 KHz insert, and switches to the correct
operating frequency. The TurboSENSOR has
an expanded low-power range to improve
patient comfort during debridement, and a
power-boosting, user-controlled Turbo feature
to increase scaling power when needed for
heavy deposits. The unit is designed to work
with Parkell inserts. For information about
usage with non-Parkell inserts, please see
our warranty policy.
INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS:
For removal of calculus, plaque and oral debris
from teeth during dental prophylaxis/scaling.

INSERTS
Magnetostrictive Inserts for the TurboSENSOR
scaler are available separately, and are not
included with the basic scaler unit. The unit is
designed to work with Parkell inserts. For
information about usage with non-Parkell
inserts, please see our warranty policy. The
scaler automatically adjusts the operating
frequency to match that of the insert in the
handpiece without operator intervention. Brand
new inserts may t very tightly in the handpiece
initially, and may be inserted and removed
more easily by using a slight twisting motion,
and by lubricating the insert “O” ring with water.
Old, worn or blunt inserts will perform poorly,
generate excess heat, and should be replaced
when necessary.
INSTALLING YOUR SCALER
Locate the device where the control panel will
be easy to reach during scaling procedures,
and where the water lter at the rear of the unit
may be periodically changed without difculty.
The scaler requires access to a grounded
electrical outlet and a source of drinking-quality
water. The device and its separate transformer
generate a minimal amount of heat. Avoid
covering them, to allow normal cooling.

WATER CONNECTION
Before plugging in the device, connect the
scaler’s water line to a drinking-quality water
supply (15-35 psi optimal), free of sediment. An
external, ofce-wide water lter is
recommended to minimize frequent changes of
the device’s in-line water lter. The male
quick-connect that comes on the end of the
water hose is the standard tting presently used
in the dental industry. If you are replacing a
scaler that uses an Adec-type or other type of
connection, remove the old tting from the unit
hose and attach it to the
new water line. Check
for leaks at all hose and
lter connections before
use, and tighten if
necessary.
CONTROLLING THE WATER FLOW
Observing the arrow printed on the control
panel, turn the water control counter-clockwise
to increase the ow, or clockwise to decrease
water ow. If water does not ow through the
insert when the foot pedal is depressed, the
water passage in the scaling insert may be
clogged.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The scaler must only be powered via the
Transformer Assembly that is supplied with the
device by Parkell.
1. Plug the round transformer power cord
connector into the back of the scaler, with the
arrow on the plug on top.
2. Plug the transformer into a grounded
electrical outlet. Stepping on the pedal will
activate the scaler.
USE OF AUTOCLAVABLE SHEATHS
AND ULTRASONIC INSERTS
1. The TurboSENSOR handpiece is provided
with the autoclavable handpiece sheath
attached. Prior to use, the sheath should be
sterilized. To remove it, hold the handpiece at
the base with one hand and turn the sheath
counter-clockwise with the other, taking care
not to twist the hose. The sheath will unscrew
and slip off.
2. To replace
the sheath,
gently thread
it onto the
handpiece
clockwise,
until there is no gap between the two. Take
care not to damage or dislodge the O-ring.
Do not overtighten.
TURNING ON THE SCALER AND
CONTROLLING THE POWER OUTPUT
The unit does not have a traditional on/off
switch. The foot pedal turns the unit on when
depressed, and off when released. The pedal
should be placed where it will not
accidentally be pressed when the device is
not in use.
The TurboSENSOR gives you two ways to
adjust the scaling power, by using the Power
Control Knob for normal operation, or by
depressing the Foot Pedal to enter the “Turbo
Mode”.
Use the Power Control
Knob to set the initial
scaling power for the
procedure at hand.
Turn the knob in a
clockwise direction to
increase the power, or counterclockwise to
decrease the power.
• Usually, the Power Control Knob is set at the
“Medium” setting to start. When the foot pedal
is slightly depressed to the rst position, the
insert will begin vibrating at Medium power.
• If the Power Control Knob is set for the “Perio”
setting, the “Perio” light will illuminate, and the
tip will vibrate at a much a lower power than a
traditional scaler when the foot pedal is
depressed. This permits very subtle
adjustments in tip power, meaning that
relatively large movements of the knob within
the Perio mode of operation will produce small
increases in power. This allows more
comfortable debridement for sensitive
patients.
• When the “Perio” light is not illuminated, tip
amplitude reacts more dramatically to knob
adjustment for high power calculus removal.

Use the “Turbo Mode” for short-term
increases in power during scaling. Fully
depress the foot pedal to the oor using
increased foot pressure and the yellow
“Turbo” light will illuminate. This will instantly
boost scaling power to a point midway
between the current setting and the scaler’s
maximum power.
• Engaging the Turbo feature at a low power
setting causes a signicant boost in power.
• Engaging the Turbo feature at high power
will produce very little change.
• Since water ow is not affected by “Turbo
Mode”, extended procedures may require a
water adjustment.
• Partially lifting your foot off of the pedal will
return the scaler to normal, “non-Turbo”
mode.
Note that whenever you fully release the foot
pedal, the green “on” light on the front panel
will turn off along with the yellow “Turbo” light.
This change may take several seconds.
CLINICAL SUGGESTIONS ON
TOOTH SCALING
• Ultrasonic scalers should be used by
trained, licensed professionals only.
• Inserts and handpiece sheaths must be
sterilized before each use.
• Use of face mask by the clinician and
high-volume intraoral suction is strongly
recommended when operating this device,
to avoid inhalation of contaminated
aerosols.
• DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT
WATER FLOWING.
• Use the lowest effective scaling power for
the case at hand. This keeps heat
generation to a minimum.
• Before using the insert in the oral cavity,
adjust the water spray following the graphics
on the faceplate of the scaler over a sink or
cuspidor until desired mist is obtained. For
maximum patient comfort, use a good ow
of water as a coolant, lubricant and to ush
out debris.
• If patient is new to ultrasonic scaling, explain
to them what to expect. Usually, the patient
should not experience discomfort. If patient
experiences uncomfortable heat, adjust
power and water controls accordingly.
• Do not test a scaler tip for vibration on your
ngers while the unit is operating. This is not
a valid test of how scaling feels to the
patient.
• Hold the handpiece in a comfortable
pen-grasp. To remove deposits from teeth,
always use a light brushing stroke with the
side of the insert tip, in contact with and
parallel to the root surface. Excess pressure
will not improve scaling action, but may
cause heating and pain to the patient. Keep
the scaler insert in motion at all times, using
repeated gentle strokes to remove all
tenacious deposits.
• Do not use the point of the insert on the
tooth surface. You may gouge the tooth.
• Pause occasionally during scaling by
removing foot from pedal to evaluate deposit
removal.
• Exercise caution near ceramic restorations,
as they can discolor or fracture if stressed.
COMMON OPERATOR ERRORS THAT
MAY RESULT IN POOR CLINICAL
PERFORMANCE
• Failure to keep insert tip parallel to the long
axis of the tooth.
• Excessive use of hand pressure.
• Failure to use the lowest effective power
setting for the case at hand.
• Insufcient water ow.
• Scaling with the point of the insert instead
of the side.
• Inserts that are damaged, bent or worn out.
CLEANING AND INFECTION
CONTROL
• Consult www.CDC.gov for the “Guidelines
for Infection Control in Dental Health-Care
Settings”.
• DO NOT AUTOCLAVE the TurboSENSOR
control unit, as autoclave heat will destroy it.
The control unit should be cleaned of debris
with a water-damp paper towel, disinfected
by wiping with a paper towel that has been
saturated with an EPA-registered low-level
(HIV/HBV claim) to intermediate-level
(tuberculocidal claim) hospital disinfectant,
wiped of chemical residue with a water-
damp paper towel, and dried. Utilize the
surface disinfecting protocol of the
disinfectant manufacturer.
• Autoclaving does not remove debris that has
accumulated on the sheath or the insert.
Failure to adequately remove debris will
result in inadequate sterilization.

The sheath and ultrasonic insert must be
washed in soap and water either manually or
in an ultrasonic cleaner, and rinsed in running
water prior to bagging them for processing in
a steam autoclave.
• Sheaths and inserts may be sterilized in any
conventional steam autoclave following
manufacturer’s instructions. A typical steam
cycle is 250°F-268°F / 121°C-131°C for 30
minutes at a minimum of 15 psi, followed by a
15 minute minimum cool-down period. After
sterilization, inspect the device in the
autoclave bag for integrity. If suspicion about
the item exists, discard it and order a
replacement from Parkell or your dealer.
• DO NOT USE DRY HEAT OR CHEMCLAVE
on the sheath or the insert.
HOW TO REPLACE THE FILTER DISK
The water lter disk coming off of the rear hose
of the unit should be replaced when it becomes
dark or clogged with debris so that water ow is
not blocked (1-3 months). Replacement Filters
are available from Parkell (Stock No. D419
– ten per package).
1. Close any water valves, and bleed all water
lines of residual water pressure.
2. Disconnect the scaler water supply hose
from the water supply at the quick-connect.
3. Remove the old lter disk by holding it in one
hand and loosening it by twisting it off the
hose connectors on either side. They rotate
in opposite directions.
4. Install the new lter disk in the same position
as the old one, and tighten the connectors in
reverse.
5. Reconnect the scaler water supply hose to
the water supply via the quick-connect and
check for leaks.
6. Note: If the lter becomes clogged and you
do not have a replacement disk, the hose
connectors may be locked together
TEMPORARILY without the lter disk to
allow emergency operation only.

USER MAINTENANCE AND
AUTHORIZED SERVICE
• The Parkell TurboSENSOR requires very little
maintenance for years of trouble-free
operation. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside the control unit or the foot pedal.
Opening the cases will void all warranties.
Authorized Parkell personnel must make all
internal repairs.
• Parkell urges all scaler users to monitor the
condition of the water lter periodically and
change the lter whenever noticeable
darkening of the disk occurs, or when water
ow decreases. The most common reason for
service for ultrasonic scalers is failure by the
user to periodically change the water lter.
This will result in contamination and clogging
of the internal water components.
• The ultrasonic inserts, handpiece sheaths,
power supply, water lter and water hose are
all detachable and may be replaced by the
user. Contact Parkell for a list of authorized
inserts and available replacement parts.
• Within the US, all repairs must be made by
Parkell. We maintain a complete service and
parts facility in our factory at 300 Executive
Drive, Edgewood, NY 11717. Equipment
needing service in the US should be returned,
freight pre-paid, via approved common
carrier (e.g. USPS, UPS, FedEx), and
adequately insured. Return all accessories
with the unit, and include an explanation of
the problem. Pack in the original box, add
plenty of cushioning material, and overbox
the unit during shipping. Transit should
maintain a dry temperature of 50°F-110°F.
You will be contacted for your approval of the
repair, along with any associated costs, prior
to any work. The unit will be repaired and
returned to you.
• Outside the US, repairs must be made by a
Parkell-authorized facility.
