¿Osteointegración? Simple.

The Osstell Beacon is delivered in transportation mode with the motion sensor deactivated. To switch modes, briefly connect the USB cable to the instrument and a USB port on a computer for a few seconds, then disconnect.

Start by charging the instrument for about 3 hours to ensure optimal performance.

The Osstell Beacon starts automatically when moved, shows the battery status, and is then ready for measurement in the BL (buccal-lingual) direction.

Bring the instrument close to a SmartPeg or TestPeg to start measuring. An audible signal confirms the measurement, and the ISQ value is shown together with a coloured stability indication (red, yellow, green).

At start-up, an OsstellConnect code is displayed until the instrument is registered. You can register your instrument here: Register to OsstellConnect.

The instrument turns off automatically after 60 seconds without movement.

Video on how to measure: Measure with Osstell Beacon

1. Activate the Osstell Beacon by picking it up. The instrument will start-up and after showing the battery status, the instrument will be ready for measurement in the BL (Buccal – Lingual) direction, which is prompted in the upper display as well as optimal angle towards the Smartpeg.

2. Place a barrier sleeve over the Osstell beacon instrument.

3. Place the SmartPeg into the SmartPeg Mount. The SmartPeg is magnetic, and the SmartPeg Mount will hold the SmartPeg. See fig 2. Attach the SmartPeg to the implant or abutment by screwing the SmartPeg Mount using finger force of approximately 4-6 Ncm. Do not over-tighten, to avoid damaging the SmartPeg threads.

4. Hold the instrument tip close (2-4mm) to the top of the SmartPeg without touching it. Sometimes, you will need to go as close as 1 mm. An audible sound indicates when measurement has started, and measured data will be shown in the upper display combined with a colored light indication below the tip.

5. Bring the instrument out of the mouth to clearly read the ISQ value and the colored indication. The measured ISQ values will be displayed in the upper display for a couple of seconds and then switch to be ready for measurement in mesial-distal direction.

6. Repeat step 4 and the sequence starts over and the Osstell Beacon is ready for measurement in the BL (Buccal- Lingual) direction again.

7. When all measurements are performed, remove the SmartPeg by using the SmartPeg Mount. The instrument is automatically turned off after 60 seconds of inactivity.

Charge the Beacon for at least 30 min in room temperature, then try again. If the error remains, try resetting the device by:

1. Identify the Beacon reset pin on the picture below.

2. With a paper clip, do a gentle press for 1 second on the reset button (Note! You may have to tilt the pin a little downwards).
If you see a “PadLock” symbol in the upper display, press one more time on the reset button.

If the Beacon still doesn’t start or the display is showing a wrench and a manual, then please contact your local sales representative or distributor or support@osstell.com.

Algunas posibles explicaciones son:

SmartPeg reutilizado: Los SmartPegs son desechables y solo deben utilizarse para una o varias mediciones en una sesión de tratamiento, para un solo paciente. La reutilización repetida puede dar lugar a lecturas falsas debido al desgaste de las roscas blandas de aluminio del SmartPeg.

Tipo de SmartPeg incorrecto seleccionado para el implante: Consulte la lista de referencia de SmartPeg, osstell.com/smartpegguide

Hueso o tejido blando entre SmartPeg e implante: Asegúrese de limpiar la conexión protésica del implante antes de colocar el SmartPeg.

Interferencias electromagnéticas: Retire la fuente de las interferencias electromagnéticas.

La sonda está demasiado lejos del SmartPeg: Sostenga la sonda a 2-4 mm del SmartPeg.
