Prior to use on a patient, place a barrier sleeve over the instrument. The barrier sleeve helps prevent

cross-contamination and helps keep dental composite material from adhering to the surface of the

instrument tip and body, and discoloration and degradations from cleaning solutions.

Note

• Barrier sleeves are single patient use only.
• Discard used barrier sleeves in standard waste after each patient.
• Do not leave barrier sleeves on the instrument for extended periods.
• See below for recommended barrier sleeves.
  • TIDIShield, Art no: 20808, Art no: 20987. tidiproducts.com
  • PremiumPlus: 183-2 X-Ray sensor sleeve, size 2
• The instrument must be cleaned with appropriate agents after each patient.
• A first measurement should be taken at implant placement to get a baseline for future measurements throughout the healing process. Before the final restoration, another measurement is taken which makes it possible to observe the stability development of the implant.
• It is recommended to measure in both Buccal-Lingual and Mesial-Distal direction to find the lowest stability. Therefore, the instrument prompts the user to measure in both these directions.
• Click here to see a film on how to measure.

Before each use, moisten a gauze or soft cloth with a recommended (see list below) surface cleaner and wipe the whole instrument.

Possible explanations include:

Re-Used SmartPeg: The SmartPegs are disposable and should only be used for one or multiple measurement at one treatment session, for a single patient only. Repeated re-use may result in false readings due to wear and tear of the soft aluminum SmartPeg threads.

Wrong SmartPeg type selected for the implant: See SmartPeg reference list, osstell.com/smartpegguide

Bone or soft tissue in between SmartPeg and Implant: Make sure to clean the Implant prosthetic connection before attaching the SmartPeg.

Electromagnetic interference: Remove the source of electromagnetic interference.

Probe is held too far away from the SmartPeg: Hold the probe 2-4 mm away from the SmartPeg.
