4. Care After Use
• If organic solvents, etc., adhere to the powder case cap, this may result in breakage.
• The powder case cover will deteriorate over time under the influence of ultra violet rays and other
environmental factors and is therefore considered a consumable item. Replace powder case cover
every six months.
• Always thoroughly clean the powder case, the powder case cap and the thread on the powder case
and the powder case cap. Do this once a week and check the powder case cover and powder case
cover for cracks and the scratches.
• Always replace the powder case cap or the powder case immediately should you detect any cracks. If
such a case is used as it is, the powder case cover may break, and this may cause injury by its
fragments.
• In order to prevent the Prophy-Mate neo from clogging put the entire instrument in an ultrasonic bath
once a week. (See 5-1 Ultrasonic cleaning.)
• In the case of failure, make sure to contact your distributor for repairs.
• After use always clean thoroughly internally and externally and ensure all powder residues are
removed and the instrument is totally dry for storage.
• Never lubricate Prophy-Mate neo.(However, lubricate the O-rings with the enclosed turbine oil (See
4-4 Lubrication.))
