CAUTION
Guide the patient to sit on the chair. Make sure no one sits on the legrest,
the backrest or any other part of the dental unit.
CAUTION
When the patient is in the chair, ensure that the patient’s arms and legs are
resting on the chair.
CAUTION
Do not allow the patient to grab the operating light or its arm when getting
seated or getting up from the patient chair.
CAUTION
Instrument hoses have a limited lifespan and should be replaced after 5
years of use.
CAUTION
The light source of the operating light may cause retinal injury if viewed upon
directly.
Protect the patient’s and dental treatment staff’s eyes with protective glasses
that block high-energy visible light (HEV light), or limit the direct exposure to
10 minutes.
CAUTION
Switch off the unit before using an electrosurgical knife.
CAUTION
The use of the electrosurgical knife may affect the function of an implanted
pacemaker or defibrillator. Please refer to the manufacturer’s own
documentation.
CAUTION
Do not use the scaler or the polymerisation light on patients with cardiac
pacemakers. The instrument can cause disturbance on the pacemaker’s
function.
CAUTION
Electromagnetic interference between the equipment and other devices can
occur in very extreme conditions. Do not use the equipment in close
conjunction with sensitive devices, or devices creating high electromagnetic
disturbances.

CAUTION
If the drain is blocked, the dental unit might overflow with contaminated
water and excessive water could flow onto the floor. Shut down the unit and
contact your property's caretaker and your Planmeca dealer.
CAUTION
For surgical procedures, use sterile irrigating solutions, such as sterile water
or saline. Appropriate delivery devices should be used to deliver sterile
irrigating solutions during surgery. This may include a dedicated surgical
irrigation system with components including handpieces that are single-use
disposable or compatible with heat sterilisation methods used in outpatient
dental settings.
CAUTION
A power cut will shut down the software-controlled backflow prevention
system. If you are using a turbine without a built-in backflow prevention
system, contaminated water can enter into the turbine and turbine hose in
the event of a power cut.
CAUTION
In extreme operating conditions the temperature of the chair lift and backrest
motors might rise significantly. DO NOT TOUCH THE MOTORS!
CAUTION
In extreme operating conditions the surface temperature of the seat
upholstery may rise to 44°C (111°F). When applying maximum allowed load
on the patient chair in hot climate conditions, ensure sufficient time for the
seat upholstery to cool down.
NOTE
Before switching on the dental unit, make sure that the main water feed, air
pressure and suction motor are turned on.
NOTE
National regulations concerning the quality of dental water and dental air
must be followed when using the Planmeca dental unit.

NOTE
Never place heavy objects or containers of liquid on any part of the unit or
hang objects from the unit’s arm structures.
NOTE
Care should be taken when other movable equipment is used in conjunction
with the dental unit.
NOTE
The dental unit shall only be connected to a trusted private network (and not,
for example, the Internet).
NOTE
EMC requirements have to be considered, and the equipment must be
installed and put into service according to the specific EMC information
provided in the accompanying documents.
NOTE
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the dental
unit.
NOTE
External equipment intended for connection to signal input, signal output or
other connectors, shall comply with relevant IEC standard (e.g. IEC 60950
for IT equipment and the IEC 60601 series for medical electrical equipment).
In addition, all such combinations - systems - shall comply with the IEC
60601-1 standard. Equipment not complying to IEC 60601-1 shall be kept
outside the patient area.
Any person who connects external equipment to signal input, signal output
or other connectors has formed a system and is therefore responsible for the
system to comply with the requirements of IEC 60601-1. If in doubt, contact
a qualified technician or your local representative.
7.2 Safety switches
Care should be taken when driving the patient chair from one position to
another. Obstructions in the patient chair’s line of movement activate safety
switches that stop the motorised movements. The safety switches and their
functions are described below.
1. Lifting mechanism lower cover
An obstruction between the lifting mechanism lower cover and the floor
stops downwards chair and backrest movements. Remove the
obstruction to resume normal operation.
