TurboSENSOR™
Ultrasonic Tooth Scaler
DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The TurboSENSOR is an autotune
ultrasonic tooth scaler that operates at either
25KHz or 30KHz. The TurboSENSOR
automatically detects whether the handpiece
contains a 25KHz or 30KHz insert and
switches operating frequency to match.
A dramatically expanded low-power range
improves comfort during debridement.
INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS:
For removal of calculus and plaque during
dental prophylaxis.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
•Do not use this device if the patient or the
operator possesses a cardiac pacemaker
or any other intra-corporeal medical
electronic device (eg. insulin pump,
defibrillator,etc.).
PRECAUTIONS:
Caution: Water flow through tip during use
must be sufficient to cool handpiece and insert.
Caution: Do not allow prolonged contact of
tip with lips, cheek or tongue.
Caution: All ultrasonic scalers produce
aerosols. Take precautions to prevent
transmission of contagious diseases.
Caution: Use the long axis of the insert tip
to wipe accretions from the tooth. Do not
gouge the tooth with the tip.
IMPORTANT: The water supply line
to the scaler should always be turned off
whenever the device is being connected,
disconnected, or when not in use.
Caution: Precautions should be taken to
locate the transformer away from any sources
of water that may enter the unit.
INDIVIDUALIZATION OF TREATMENT:
If patient or operator is pregnant, consult
physician concerning advisability of using ultra-
sonic scalers.
Like all scalers of this type, the handpiece
produces a small magnetic field. It has been
reported that this can cause some sensitive
patient monitoring devices (eg. Pulse Oximeter)
to give inconsistent or inaccurate readings.
CONFORMANCE TO STANDARDS:
The Parkell TurboSENSOR conforms to
UL60601-1. Parkell’s quality system is
certified to ISO9001/13485. Certified to
CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 601.1.
The device is CE marked - certified to
European Medical Device Directive.

(for 230V model: 50Hz, 120VA)
INSTALLING YOUR SCALER:
Locate the device where the control
panel will be easy to reach during scaling
procedures. The scaler requires access to a
grounded electrical outlet and a source of
drinking-quality water.
The scaler and its separate transformer
generate a minimal amount of heat. Avoid cover-
ing them, as this will prevent normal cooling.
WARNING: As with all electrical
products, the unit should not be immersed
in water or other liquids. Do not reach for
the device if it has fallen into liquid. Do
not use the device after it has fallen into
liquid (return it to Parkell for servicing.)
Do not modify this device. Modification
may violate safety codes and endanger
patient and operator. Any modification
will void the warranty.

a00414revg111_trbosensor_instr.qxd 1/7/11 3:38 PM Page 1

WATER CONNECTION:
Before plugging in the device, connect the
scaler’s water line to a supply of drinking-quality
water (20-50psi). Water should be clean and free
of sediment. We suggest that an external water
filter be used to minimize the frequent changes
of the device’s in-line water filter.
The male quick-connect that comes on
the end of the water hose is the same as that
currently fitted to the Cavitron®scaler. If you
are replacing an older scaler that uses a different
type of connection, remove the fitting from the
old unit and attach it to the water line.
IMPORTANT: The water line to the scaler
should be turned off whenever the device is
not in use.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
The scaler must be powered via the
Transformer Assembly supplied with the scaler.
1.) Plug the transformer cable into the back
of the scaler.
2.) Plug the
transformer into any
grounded outlet.
From this point on,
simply stepping on
the pedal will turn
on the scaler.
INSERTS
The TurboSENSOR accepts any Parkell
insert as well as 25K and 30K inserts designed
for Cavitron scalers.
The scaler automatically adjusts the
operating frequency to match the frequency of
the insert in the handpiece (either 25KHz or
30KHz) without operator intervention.
Brand new inserts fit very tightly in the
handpiece. Using a slight twisting motion when
inserting and lubricating the “O” ring with water
will make insertion easier.
Old, worn or blunt instruments will provide
poor scaling action and should be replaced.
To return to normal scaling power, lighten
foot-pressure. (The yellow “Turbo” light will
go out.)
The “Turbo” mode allows you to scale at
lower power than usual because you do not have
to allow for occasional pieces of residual calcu-
lus. If you encounter hard-to-remove accretions
during debridement, simply use the “Turbo” fea-
ture to eliminate them. (The “Turbo” mode does
not change the water flow, so extended proce-
dures may require a water adjustment.)
Whenever you release the pedal, the green
“on” light on the front panel will instantly turn
off. If you are operating in the “Turbo” mode, the
illuminated Turbo light will also turn off, though
it may take several seconds.
CONTROLLING THE WATER FLOW:
Turn the water control counter-clockwise
to increase the flow. (Notice the arrow printed
on the control panel.) If water does not flow
through the insert when the foot pedal is
depressed, the water passage in the scaling
insert may be clogged.
INFECTION CONTROL:
When removing the autoclavable handpiece
sheath, hold the handpiece at the base with one
hand and turn the top counter-clockwise with
the other ... taking care not to twist the hose.
The sheath will unscrew and slip off.
Sheaths can be sterilized in any
conventional steam autoclave
following manufacturer’s
instructions. DO NOT USE DRY HEAT
OR CHEMCLAVE.
NOTE: Autoclaving does
not remove debris that has
accumulated on the sheath.
Failure to adequately remove
debris may result in inadequate
sterilization. The sheath must
be washed in soap and water
and rinsed in running water
prior to autoclaving.
Before replacing the
sheath, lubricate the O-ring on
the handpiece with water to
assure a tight seal. Slide the
sheath over the handpiece
carefully to avoid damaging or
dislodging this O-ring, and
screw the sheath in place.
(Do not overtighten.)
The exterior case of the scaler may be wiped
with a cloth dampened by any standard surface
spray cleaner as desired.
HOW TO REPLACE THE FILTER DISK
(Time required: 10 seconds):
The water filter disk should be replaced
when it becomes very dark or so clogged with
debris that water flow is impeded:
1.) Disconnect the scaler from the water supply.
2.) Remove the old filter disk by holding it
in one hand and twisting off the hose
connectors on either side. (They rotate in
opposite directions.)
3.) Install the replacement filter disk, and
firmly tighten the
connectors using
hand pressure.
4.) Reconnect the
scaler to the water
supply and check
for leaks.
Note: If the filter becomes clogged and you
do not have a replacement disk, the hose
connectors can be locked together without the
filter disk to allow emergency operation.
If you have any questions, please contact
Parkell’s Service Dept. at (1-800-243-7446).

GENERAL COMMENTS ON SCALING:
nUltrasonic scalers should be used only by
trained, licensed professionals.
nInserts and handpiece sheath should be
sterilized before each use.
nDo not operate unit without water flowing.
nUse of face mask is recommended when
operating this device, to avoid inhalation
of bacterially-contaminated aerosol by the
operator. High-speed suction to remove
this aerosol from the dental environment,
as close to the source as possible, is
also recommended.
nUse the lowest effective scaling power for
the case at hand. This keeps heat generation
to a minimum.
nBefore using the insert in the oral cavity,
adjust the water spray over sink or cuspidor
until desired mist is obtained. For maximum
patient comfort, use a good flow of water
which acts as coolant, lubricant and lavage
to flush out debris.
nIf patient is new to ultrasonic scaling, tell
him/her what to expect. If procedure
becomes uncomfortable, adjust power and
water controls accordingly.
nGrasp handpiece in a comfortable manner,
like holding a pen. To remove deposits from
teeth, always use a light brushing stroke with
the side of the insert tip in contact with the
tooth 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 and
TURNING ON THE SCALER:
The unit does not have a traditional on/off
switch. The foot pedal turns the unit off each
time you remove your foot. Because of this,
the pedal should be placed where it will not be
accidentally hit when the device is not in use.
CONTROLLING THE POWER:
The TurboSENSOR gives you two ways to
adjust the scaling power: a traditional power
control knob, and a Turbo mode.
Use the power control knob to set the
initial power for the scaling procedure at hand.
A tip powered by the TurboSENSOR will
begin oscillating at much lower amplitude
(power) than a tip in a traditional scaler.
This permits more comfortable debridement
of recall patients.
With the foot pedal depressed, turn the
power control knob in a clockwise direction to
increase the amount of tip motion. When the
“Perio” light is illuminated, the Power Control
Knob permits very subtle adjustments in tip
amplitude (relatively large movements of the
knob produce small increases in amplitude).
When the “Perio”
light is not illuminated,
tip amplitude reacts
more dramatically
to knob adjustment
for high power
calculus removal.
For short-term
increases in power during the procedure,
simply increase foot-pressure on the pedal.
(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. (In other words,
increasing foot-pressure when the scaler is
operating at a low setting will cause a major
boost in power. Increasing foot-pressure when
the scaler is already operating at maximum
power will produce no significant increase.)
WATER CONTROL

INSTALLING YOUR SCALER:
Locate the device where the control
panel will be easy to reach during scaling
procedures. The scaler requires access to a
grounded electrical outlet and a source of
drinking-quality water.
The scaler and its separate transformer
generate a minimal amount of heat. Avoid cover-
ing them, as this will prevent normal cooling.
WARNING: As with all electrical
products, the unit should not be immersed
in water or other liquids. Do not reach for
the device if it has fallen into liquid. Do
not use the device after it has fallen into
liquid (return it to Parkell for servicing.)
Do not modify this device. Modification
may violate safety codes and endanger
patient and operator. Any modification
will void the warranty.
