COMPATIBILITY CHART
1. INTENDED USE
Tactiq™ is used for dental requirements in the area of dental implants.
Any other form of use is ill advised and can be harmful.
This is an instrument with a precise system of torque control allowing the screwing of prosthetic parts at a definite torque, 10Ncm, 15Ncm, 20Ncm.
2. AREA OF APPLICATION
The Tactiq™ must only be used by someone with dental experience, with knowledge in implantology as well as in prosthetic techniques related to dental implants for the application described here above, and in compliance with the provisions in effect in relation to the prevention of accidents at work, protection of employment, and the instructions for use.
In accordance with these provisions, the user must only use working instruments without defects, observe the principle of correct use, protect themselves and the patient or third party against any danger, and prevent all contamination by the product.
3. GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Before use, check that Tactiq™ is not damaged and that no part of it is missing or lose. Use protective gloves, glasses and a mask.
After inserting the latch style mandrel tip, check that it is correctly held in place.
It is recommended to the practitioner to test the Tactiq™ before using it on the patient in order to check that it is correctly functioning. In the event of visible malfunction or damage, immediately stop using the instrument and inform contact@conmetior.com.
4. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The user is responsible for the appropriate choice of operating conditions, which will prevent any risk to the patient or to another person. All the torque values are indicated on the driver, (10Ncm, 15Ncm, 20Ncm). In choosing the proper Tactiq™, follow the recommendations of the implant manufacturer.
5. USING TACTIQ
Tactiq™ is supplied unlubricated and unsterilized. It is important to do this yourself before first use and also check that the Tactiq™ is not damaged and no part of it is missing.
5.1 CONNECTING & DISCONNECTING THE MANDREL TIP
The use of protective gloves is recommended each time the tool is handled. Check the condition of the mandrel tip to be used and handle it properly and carefully.
Inspect the latch regularly to ensure that it is properly fixed. Check that the mandrel tip is properly attached, through a slight axial movement on each tool change.
Remove the mandrel tip by pulling on it.
5.2 TORQUE SELECTION
Tactiq™ comes in three different Ncm values, 10 Ncm, 15Ncm, 20Ncm.
The torque values are indicated on the instrument.
The implant manufacturer’s recommendations are to be followed when choosing the torque.
5.3 SCREWING & UNSCREWING
Maintain the Tactiq™ in one hand. Turn the handle toward the “screw” direction until an audible click is heard, indicating that declutching has taken place and that the selected torque has been attained.
Going in the opposite direction, “unscrew” will loosen the screw.
6. HYGIENE & MAINTENANCE
The re-sterilization of reusable medical devices must be performed by a properly trained and protected member of staff.
The re-sterilization protocol must consider the risk of infection. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for each product used.
Particular care to adhere to the instructions regarding concentrations, lengths of exposure, the replacement of solutions, and the lifespan of the products.
Never combine products and adhere to the guidelines regarding the disposal of used products.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
Never immerse the Tactiq™ in any kind of solution.
Never clean the Tactiq™ in an ultrasonic tank.
Clean the device immediately after an operation.
Use only detergent or disinfectant solutions with a neutral or slightly alkaline PH.
It is extremely unadvisable to use products which may fix X proteins to the unit (e.g. alcohol, aldehydes...).
Do not use sodium hypochlorite (bleach) as there is a high risk of corrosion.
6.1 EXTERNAL CLEANING
The Tactiq™ can be cleaned by using a brush under tap water.
External disinfection using a spray, or a wipe soaked with disinfectant products microbiologically controlled (ph. between 2.5-9). In any case, it is important to follow the reaction time of the disinfectant product used.
7.2 LUBRICATION
When using for the first time and prior to each sterilization, lubrication is to be carried out using a spray can.
Keep away from any source of heat or ignition.
Maintain the spray can nozzle against the Tactiq™ until the pressure drops again. Vaporize 1 to 2 seconds. The oil passes over the entire instrument, acting as a cleanser and a lubricant.
7.3 STERILIZATION
Read the instruction leaflet provided by the sterilizer manufacturer.
Adhere to the space specified between pouches and do not overload the sterilizer.
Only sterilize instruments which have previously been disinfected, cleaned, lubricated, and tested.
Remove the latch tip from the Tactiq™ prior to sterilization.
Make sure that the device does not have any areas of corrosion or cracks, and check that it is operating properly.
Ensure that the product is dry; if necessary, dry any residual water with medical quality pressurized air.
Use sterilization pouches suitable for the Tactiq™ and the sterilizer. Always use one single Tactiq™ per pouch.
In order to prevent any retention of water, place the pouch in the sterilizer in such a way that any concave parts are face down.
If the sterilizer has several types of cycles, choose a cycle designed for medical devices (a minimum of 135°C at 2.13 bars (275°F at 30.88 psi) for 18 minutes.)
After each sterilization cycle, check that there is no water remaining on the inside and outside of the packaging. Make sure that the flow indicator has changed to the correct color.
Keep the devices in the sterilization pouches away from light, moisture, and any kind of contamination.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations as seen on the packaging. The duration for which the device is kept after sterilization should not exceed 1 month. Label the devices, specifying the expiration date. After the expiration date, repeat the cleaning and sterilization procedure.
