Instructions for use
Prosthodontix Precision Point Polishers are provided clean but are not sterile. Therefore, the devices should be sterilized before first use.
Our polishers fit into a dental handpiece, which provides the rotation, allowing the user to adjust or polish materials both intra-orally and extra-orally. The recommended RPM (revolution per minute) should not exceed 10,000 - 15,000 rpm and a maximum of 20,000 rpm. Anything higher might lead to overheating and breakage. In an air turbine without the ability to adjust such low speeds, we recommend lowest speed possible, very low pressure and a lot of water cooling.
Sterlization
- Cleaning agents with chlorine or chloride as the active ingredient are corrosive to stainless steel and must not be used. Cleaning agents with neutral pH are recommended.
- Do not use cleaning agents or disinfectants containing alcohol.
- Do not use Cold Sterilization Methods for the sterilization of these devices. These agents often contain strong oxidizing chemicals that may dull or weaken the devices.
Product Inspection
- The end of life is determined by wear and damage in use. The devices should be inspected for defects (i.e. broken tips, device deterioration, etc.) during the cleaning process.
- Visually inspect the device for damage/wear that would prevent proper operation.
- Do not use if the tip is broken .
- Do not use if there is deterioration in the material.
- Do not use if there is evidence of corrosion.
