We recommend contacting the patient’s cardiologist to get authorization before using a NEWTRON™ device on the patient with a pacemaker. Q: Can I use this on a patient with a pacemaker?Ī: Current literature states that there is little to EMI emitted from piezo handpieces, and most pacemakers are shielded as well to protect the patient. Apply the tip to a light metal object (key or coin) to verify its vibrating. This is not the case with units utilizing magnetostrictive systems where vibration is felt in the handpiece. Is the unit on?Ī: NEWTRON™ piezo devices operate quietly with no heat or vibration felt in the handpiece. Q: I am working with the unit and I don’t feel, hear or see any vibration. Q: Can I run medicaments like chlorhexidine through my ultrasonic?Ī: Yes, if any medicament other than water is run through the unit, you must flush the unit and handpiece with water for one full minute after use. This is enough to keep the tip cool to the touch. There should be a light mist when the water comes in contact with the tip.
