Diamond Drill (G1)

Warnings and Precautions

• Read the instructions in the instruction booklet carefully before using the device.
• The device is intended for laboratory and dental applications in dental clinics and dental health facilities by licensed dentists or technicians when used in laboratories.
• For user and patient safety, only qualified dentists should work with diamond dental drills.
• During clinical use, gloves and goggles should always be worn. You must not come into contact with contaminated instruments or patient tissue without protective gloves.
• Wear a surgical mask to avoid inhalation of aerosols or dust generated during application.
• You must pay attention to the operating speed (RPM - Revolutions per Minute). In particular, when working with a large head diameter and coarse and super coarse grain sizes. Using a drill at a higher RPM level than recommended may generate undesirable heat. Please note the FG marking on the packaging that indicates use in a high rotation turbine.
• Do not leave the drill stationary in one place - keep the movement constant during use.
• Do not force the drill into the turbine. In case of difficult access, check the turbine and the drill. Do not forget! Diamond Dental Drills should be replaced if incompatible. However, you should pay special attention to the instructions for the use and maintenance of the turbine.
• Note: Devices identified as single-use are NOT approved for reuse and are intended for single use.
• Ensure cleaning and sterilization of the supplied non-sterile drills according to the indicated instructions. Note: Sterile and single-use drills do NOT need to be cleaned and sterilized beforehand.
• Do not exert excessive force on the device. When working with the drill, a light touch (up to 150 grams) would be sufficient for the proper use and to achieve the desired optimal results.
• Note: Please note that there are separate instructions for use for the supplied sterile drills.

Notices

• The drill bits used are considered to be contaminated. To avoid injuries associated with contamination, appropriate precautions should be taken during handling and/or reprocessing. Wear gloves, a mask, and protective glasses. Other measures may be necessary if there is a specific risk of infection or cross-contamination of the patient. These precautions are also necessary to avoid physical damage caused by particles expelled during the procedure.
• Used dental drills are considered biological risk and should be disposed of as biological risk waste according to applicable local laws and regulations unless reprocessing instructions have been carried out by the user.
• Wear protective goggles to protect against expelled particles.
• In order to avoid the generation of undesirable local heating and general overheating during friction caused by drilling, use the drill with sufficient cooling water.
• The constant movement during the use of the drill is necessary to avoid overheating during drilling and burning of the drill.

Contraindications

• This product may contain nickel and should not be used in or by persons with known allergic reactions to nickel or nickel alloys.

Cleaning and Sterilization Instructions

The general cleaning instructions are based on:

• Diamond dental drills are designed for various uses and are eligible for autoclave cleaning and sterilization.
• Clean and sterilize the drills before the first use and before decree reuse.
• Use only a natural pH cleaning/disinfecting solution that is approved for this use (through CE marking or FDA approval/authorization) and compatible with stainless steel and nickel.
• The cleaning/disinfecting solution must not contain aldehyde (to prevent impurities from settling in the blood) or diethanolamines or triethanolamines as a corrosion inhibitor.
• Do not use disinfectant solutions containing phenol or any products that are not compatible with the instruments.
• Cleaning can be performed with manual cleaning or automatic cleaning. Sterilization should be performed using steam sterilization, according to the instructions below for each method.

Storage

• After sterilization, keep the devices in the sterilization package in a dry and clean environment.
