Ř Use Perio Mate Powder as cleaning powder. If other powder is used, the Perio Mate Nozzle Tip will

be damaged and it will increase the risk of damaging substantia ossea and dentine or causing

emphysema. We shall assume no liability for any failures caused by the use of other powder.

Ř During use, both the operator and the assistant should always wear protective glasses and protective

face masks. Also, continuously vacuum and collect ejected powder during use. In case any powder

gets in the eyes wash out immediately with copious amount of water and consult an ophthalmologist.

Ř Set supply air pressure at hand to 0.3 - 0.4 MPa (3.0 - 4.0 kgf/cm

2

). If this product is used with

incorrect pressure, the operator, assistant or patient may be injured due to a damaged Powder Case

Cover.

Ř The Nozzle Tip is a single use product. Do not reuse or re-sterilize it since it may be damaged or

contaminated.

Ř Make sure that the Nozzle Tip package is not open or damaged before use. If the package is open or

damaged, do not use that Nozzle Tip as it may be damaged or contaminated.

Ř Follow the use-by date on the Nozzle Tip package. If the use-by date has lapsed, do not use that

Nozzle Tip as it may be damaged or contaminated.

CAUTION

Ř Read this Operation Manual before use to fully understand the product functions, and file for future

reference.

Ř When operating the product always consider the safety of the patient.

Ř The end user shall be responsible for any judgment that relates to the application of this product to a

CAUTION

Ř If excess cleaning powder is put into the Powder Chamber, the correct amount of

powder may not be sprayed immediately after the start of use.

Ř The Perio Mate Powder has the property of easily scattering because of its fine particles.

Perform filling slowly and be careful to prevent the powder from scattering.

Ř Do not use any powder stored for a long while in opened packages. Do not use leftover

powder. Using such powder may cause clogging of the nozzle.

Ř Use only Perio Mate Powder. Other powders have different particle sizes and will clog

and not perform as expected. Using other powders may also cause significant damage

to the Nozzle Tip.

Ř Always securely close the container lid of the Perio Mate Powder. Failure to do so will

attract moisture which may cause clogging.

Ř Use Perio Mate Powder as cleaning powder. If other powder is used, the Perio Mate

Nozzle Tip will be damaged and it will increase the risk of damaging substantia ossea

and dentine or causing emphysema. NSK shall assume no liability for any failures

caused by the use of other powders.

Ř If powder adheres to the Powder Case and/or the threaded portion of Powder Case Cap,

clean it immediately or it will become difficult to close the Cap.

6-6 Operation

1) Attach the Nozzle Tip to the Nozzle of the Perio

Mate Handpiece.

2) After filling the powder, spray it into a spittoon,

etc., for one second and confirm that powder

is mixed with water and air, and spraying is

appropriately performed.

3) Insert the Nozzle Tip into a periodontal pocket

by 3 mm or more. (Fig. 6)

If the Nozzle Tip is inserted less than 3 mm,

powder may not be sprayed into the periodontal

pocket efficiently.

4) Start operation. Spray powder in the same

periodontal pocket for up to 5 seconds or on

the same tooth for up to 20 seconds. Do not

spray longer than this specified time.

5) After treatment, remove the Nozzle Tip from

NOTICE

WARNING

Ř The powder spray volume can be adjusted with the Flow Volume Adjustment Ring (Fig. 8).

Start by setting it to Min. then adjust according to the application and patient condition.

Ř After adjusting the powder spray amount with the Flow Volume Adjustment Ring,

clogging may occur due to the powder condition. (for example, when moisture is

contained) In such a case, the problem may be resolved by again setting the Flow

Volume Adjustment Ring to Max, then adjusting down.

Ř Securely insert the Tip all the way by referring to the Fig. 9. If the Tip is inserted

incorrectly, the Nozzle Tip will come off and accidental ingestion may result.

Ř The Nozzle Tip is a single use product. Do not reuse or re-sterilize the tip since it may be

damaged or contaminated. If the Nozzle Tip is reused, sufficient performance may not

be exerted due to nozzle deformation during removal, or accidental ingestion may result

due to detachment of the Nozzle Tip during use.

Ř Do not use this product in the same area immediately after scaling treatment of a tooth

surface in a periodontal pocket.

Ř Do not insert the Nozzle Tip into the same periodontal pocket during the same treatment

more than once.

Ř Powder should be sprayed for 5 seconds at maximum in the same periodontal pocket (20

seconds at maximum for one tooth). Never spray powder longer than this specified time.

Ř Do not strongly force the Nozzle Tip into a periodontal pocket.

Ř Make sure to use Perio Mate Powder.

Ř Do not spray powder while the Nozzle Tip end is located at the bottom of a periodontal

pocket. Emphysema may be caused.

Ř Never spray powder toward a human body. Spray only toward a tooth surface.

Ř Do not use the Nozzle Tip in any places other than periodontal pockets.

Ř If the hose swells or air or powder leaks from connections between the Powder Case

and Handpiece, during use, immediately stop use.

Ř Do not use a deformed or damaged Nozzle Tip. It may detach during use.

Ř Excessive air pressure supply may cause emphysema. Make sure the air pressure is

correctly set, as specified. Set the spray air pressure to the extent that the spray slightly

flows out from the periodontal pocket, even at maximum. Adjust the spray air pressure

within an adequate supply air pressure while checking the patient’s condition.

Ř Use the product while spraying water.

Ř Make sure to use sufficient evacuation vacuum to prevent a patient from ingesting a

large amount of powder. Avoid continuous use for a long period of time and allow the

patient to rinse out the mouth as necessary.

WARNING

CAUTION

Operation without Nozzle Tip

Perio Mate can also perform cleaning of

supragingival tooth surfaces or around marginal

gingiva. Remove the Nozzle Tip from the Perio

Mate Handpiece and perform cleaning. During

operation, use the Nozzle around 10mm away

from the tooth surface at angles of 30 to 60

degrees. (Fig. 10) Do not spray powder directly to

the oral mucosa and do not insert the Nozzle into

periodontal pockets.

Ř When using Perio Mate without the Nozzle Tip, avoid use on the oral mucosa.

Ř If organic solvents, etc., adhere to the Powder Case Cap, this may result in damage.

Ř The Powder Case Cover will deteriorate over time under the influence of ultra violet

rays and other environmental factors and is therefore considered a consumable item.

Replace the powder case cover every six months.

Ř Make sure to perform 7-1 Discard of Perio Mate Powder - 7-4 Lubrication after each

use. If powder remains in the Powder Case or Handpiece, it will solidify which may

cause clogging.

Ř Remove the Powder Case Cover and Rubber Packing from the Cover Holder once a

week to remove powder caught in the clearance. Check that there are no cracks or

scratches on the Powder Case Cover at that time.

Ř Never use the Powder Case Cover with cracks or scratches. If used in such a condition

damage and injury may result from any broken pieces.

7

Care After Use

After each patient maintain the product as follows.

Ř Even after the foot control pedal is released, powder may still come out until the air

pressure in the Powder Case is expelled. After each operation, vacuum excess powder

until the powder ejection stops in order to prevent it from entering the oral cavity of the

patient.

Ř Make sure the compressed air supply is dry and clean. Water or oil content mixed in the

air may cause internal solidification of the cleaning powder.

Ř Use only drinkable water for supply water.

If you use the model for PHATELUS coupling or MACH coupling, confirm that the

O-ring is not damaged in the coupling joint section. If the O-ring is damaged, replace

it. If your model is other than those for PHATELUS and MACH couplings, confirm the

coupling for use.

After O-ring replacement, securely tighten the Taper Ring. If tightening of the Taper

Ring is not sufficient, the Powder Case may be ejected during use.

Open the filter in the air supply circuit, and the drain in the compressor, and check that

water has not accumulated.

Water leaks from

between the Handpiece

and Powder Case.

Check the O-ring in the

Handpiece joint section

of the Powder Case.

The O-ring is scratched. Replace the O-ring in the Handpiece joint section of the Powder Case, apply a drop

of the supplied turbine oil and rub it in with your finger, etc. (See 7-3 Cleaning and

Washing - 7-4 Lubrication.)

It is difficult to rotate

the connection between

the Powder Case and

Handpiece connections.

Check O-rings in the

Remove O-rings from the Handpiece joint section of the Powder Case and carefully

remove the powder adhered to the grooves and O-rings with the supplied cleaning

brush. Then, thoroughly wipe off the Handpiece joint section with a cloth soaked with

alcohol. Install the O-rings, apply a drop of the supplied turbine oil and rub it in with

your finger, etc. (See 7-3 Cleaning and Washing - 7-4 Lubrication.)
