S-Series TipsCompatible withSymmetry IQ, SatelecandNSKunits.

• • E-Series Tips*

• • Compatible withEMSunits.

• • *Cannotbe used in Symmetry IQ units

4. S-Series and E-Series Tips E-Seriestips havefourflats S-Seriestips havetwoflats Flats

S-Series and E-Series Tips have different threading in their base to match the threading of the generator handpieces they are compatible with.

• S-Series Tips are compatible with Symmetry IQ as well as Satelec and NSK units.

• E-Series Tips are compatible with EMS units, and arenotcompatible with the Symmetry IQ.

Use of E-Series tips in the Symmetry IQ handpiece may result in damage to the handpiece threading or tip threading.

How to differentiate S-Series from E-Series Tips:

• Each Guardian Wrench indicates whether the tip is S-Series or E-Series.

• Number of flats on the Tip base

5. Guardian Wrench Tip Carrier

Each Symmetry Tip is accompanied by a Sterilizable Guardian Wrench.

Easy Color-coded for simple identification of primary power mode.

Safe Functions as Tip Carrier to protect the tip from damage, and protects the clinician from injury.

Convenient Torque-limiting Wrench with audible click when securely attached to handpiece.

Does your office use only a Statim 2000 Sterilizer? Hu-Friedy also offers shorter Guardian Wrenches that are compatible with this sterilizer. Please contact Hu-Friedy Customer Care for details.

Wrench color (Green) indicates primary power mode for the attached tip. Wrench color (Blue) indicates primary power mode for the attached tip. 6. Symmetry S10 Universal Tip

Diamond-Coated Left Diamond-Coated Right Exercise caution when using bladed and diamond-coated tips, as over-instrumentation may lead to excessive root surface removal. 27. Assess the Effect of Tip Wear

Scaling efficiency is significantly diminished with worn insert tips, requiring greater effort and time to achieve desired results.

Worn, damaged, bent or altered tips can cause inferior performance and poor water delivery.

For optimal scaling efficiency, check tips regularly for signs of wear using the Tip Wear Guide provided with the Symmetry IQ unit.

• • 1mm loss can result in 25% efficiency loss (indicated by blue line)

• • 2mm loss can result in 50% efficiency loss (indicated by red line)
