› Clean, disinfect and sterilise before each use, following Acteon’s cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation instructions for tips (J02001).
› Replace at least once a year. Acteon: because a maximum number of uses cannot be set, tips in routine use should be “replaced at least once a year”, and sooner if the tip no longer vibrates as expected or treatment slows.
› Used dry. Acteon’s brochure says S04 is used without irrigation. Their general instructions set out the conditions for irrigation-free use, including magnification, an assistant and continual monitoring for heat.
