* Operation Principle
A sinusoidal electrical signal, at ultrasonic frequency (f>20kHz), is delivered by the generator. This signal is applied
to the ‘piezoelectric ceramic’ located inside the transducer. Piezoelectric ceramic converts this signal into mechanical
English
vibrations. These vibrations are at the same ultrasonic frequency as the electrical signal. The mechanical vibrations
are propagated towards the distal end of the transducer. The “TIP” insert, which is attached at the distal end of the
transducer, vibrates at ultrasonic frequencies and makes it possible to achieve the aimed purpose.

recommended Power Level (Tip-Power Guide
included in the package.)
Set the power level with the Power/Volumee Knob
on the Front Panel. Make sure the power level is set
in the appropriate range for the attached Tip.

NOTICE
• Turn the Power/Volume Knob will increase or decrease the Power Level.
• If the Power Level is 0 (zero) and set the water Volumee, Tip will not oscillate but water comes out from the
handpiece.
NOTICE
LED of the handpiece will remain ‘On’ for approx 5 seconds after Foot Control is released. (Varios2 Lux)
If you need to increase more than Power 7, decrease the power less than 5 once and increase again.
NOTICE
During Protection Circuit function, the Control Unit can not increase the Power Level.

8. Provided Scaler Tips
G4 The end of the Tip is thin and for supragingival fine scaling and interdental scaling. The
round cross-section allows tooth surfaces to be finished without causing damage.
Apply the top of the Tip on the tooth plane and move it sideways
finely in the same way as G8 Tip. (Fig. 8)
Fig.8
Insert the top of the Tip into the periodontal pocket and move it
slowly. The top of the Tip is sharp so that it could remove tartar
on long coroner and retracted gingival. (Fig. 9)
Clean periodontal pocket at low power. (Set the level less than
“Power 5” at P mode.)
Fig.9
G8 Removal of supragingival and interdental calculus. This Tip can be used in all
quadrants and is very useful for the removal of hard calculus.
Apply the top of the Tip on the tooth plane and move it sideways
finely along the neck of tooth. (Fig. 10)
Fig.10
CAUTION
Tip is article of consumption. We recommend periodical replacement. About time of replacement, check the Tip
Card.

How to use the Tip Card
1) Place the neck of the Tip in the cut out.
English
2) Check wear of the Tip.
3) See the green, yellow and red line to check wear of the Tip. *See below what each color means. At NSK we recommend
to replace a Tip when the Tip meets the yellow line (wear of 1mm) to guarantee safe and effective use.
Tip Card
CAUTION
1mm 2mm
Tips are consumables. The efficiency of dental scaling
decreases approximately 25% when the top of the Tip
wears 1 mm and approximately 50% when it wears 2 mm. 25%
In addition, the vibration condition changes owing to the Decrease

wear, which may damage a patient’s tooth surface. Check Decrease
the Tip wear condition with the Tip Card periodically, and
replace the Tip with a new one in good time.

12. Sterilization
• Autoclave sterilization is recommended.
• Autoclave sterilization required first time you use and after each patient as noted below. Take handpiece out of the
packing bag before sterilization.
• ONLY the Tip, Handpiece and Tip Wrench, Tip Holder and Tip Cover S (Option) can be autoclaved.
This handpiece can be cleaned and disinfected with a Thermo-Disinfector.
Autoclave Procedure
1) Remove the Tip after use. (Refer to 6. Mounting and Removing Tip)
2) Wipe dirt and debris from the products, and wipe clean with alcohol-immersed cotton swab or cloth. Do not use a wire brush.
3) Insert those into autoclave pouch. Seal the pouch.
4) Autoclavable up to max. 135˚C.
Ex.) Autoclave for 20 min. at 121˚C, or 15 min. at 132˚C.
5) Keep the products in an autoclave pouch to keep it clean until you use it.
Sterilization at 121°C for more than 15 minutes is recommended by ISO17664 and EN ISO17665-1.
CAUTION
• Do not sterilize by ultraviolet ray. The handpiece could discolor.
• If autoclaved with other instruments stained with chemical solution, it could strip the plating and make the surface
black.
• Do not autoclave any parts (the Control Unit, AC Adaptor, Foot Control, Handpiece Cord, O-Ring). Other than those
that can be subjected to autoclave sterilization. Perform alcohol disinfection to the Control Unit, AC Adaptor, Foot
Control, Handpiece Cord including after every patient.
• Do not wipe with, or clean or immerse in, high acid water or sterilizing solutions.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Varios 570 / Varios 570 Lux.
The Varios 570 / Varios 570 Lux is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of
the Varios 570 / Varios 570 Lux can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment (transmitters) and the Varios 570 / Varios 570 Lux as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation
applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
