› Clean, disinfect and sterilise before each use, following Acteon’s cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation instructions for tips (J02001).
› Replace at least once a year. Acteon: because a maximum number of uses cannot be set, tips in routine use should be “replaced at least once a year”, and sooner if the tip no longer vibrates as expected or treatment slows.
› Watch the site for heat. Acteon’s tip sheets state that the practitioner has to continually monitor the clinical site to immediately identify any heating risk.
