FAQ

The cause of water temperature elevation can be caused by the following: 1) - The minimum water flow requirement of 20cc per minute for all insert tips is not present. 2) - The power level setting is set to high for the style insert being used. Example: SLI and FSI inserts are fragile, and do not require high power levels. High or Medium power can break these inserts. The recommended power setting is indicated on the manufacturer’s package. 3) - Worn or bent inserts can run at an elevated temperature due to lack of efficiency so unused energy is released as heat instead of mechanical energy as designed.

CAUTION: Do not touch the vibrating section of the insert to any flesh such as the cheek, gums, or tongue. We suggest utilizing a topical anesthetic to desensitize for subgingival procedures. The vibrating portion of the insert can administer a Friction Burn to the flesh if not properly controlled because the insert is vibrating/cavitating at 25-30 thousand back and forth cycles per second. Become familiar with the operating parameters of this device before administering prophylactic procedures. To avoid unnecessary friction discomfort, please retract all flesh and keep the insert in motion. Never rest the insert or handpiece wand on the lips during a procedure. Heed to insert manufacturers recommendations for correct power settings and use.
