Congratulations on your new CoreMedTech product.
INTENDED USE
Scan bodies are used to capture the location, angulation and
connection orientation of dental implants in a patient’s mouth.
For intra-oral use, the scan bodies are mounted directly on
the patient’s implant and scanned (captured) with an intraoral
scanner.
The scan bodies can also be used in gypsum models. For model
use, the scan bodies are mounted on an implant analog and
scanned with a laboratory scanner.
IN PATIENT USE – STEP BY STEP
STEP 1: SELECTION OF THE SCAN BODY
Select the scan body that matches the implant system and
platform.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Each scan body/screwdriver contains human-
readable markings with a code indicating the
corresponding implant platform and system. The
screwdrivers contain a 2-character system-specific
alphanumeric code, and the scan bodies have an
additional 3rd character referring to the connection
platform.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the implant and ensure that
correct scan data is obtained, it is recommended
that an in-depth knowledge of preferred systems is
obtained enabling a quick confirmation of both the
connection and the screwdriver.
WARNING
Replace the scan body if any damage, i.e. scratches,
deformation, excessive wear, etc., is detected on
either the scan body or the system screwdriver.
STEP 2: PREPARATION FOR INTRA-ORAL USE
To avoid cross-contamination between patients or contamination
of operators, the scan bodies and the associated screwdriver
must be cleaned and sterilized prior to each use.
Prior to use, the cleaned scan bodies and associated screwdrivers
must be autoclaved at 121°C for 15 min, or at 134°C for 3 min.
After autoclaving, let the scan bodies and associated screwdrivers
cool to room temperature. If still hot, skin contact with either
the scan bodies or the screwdrivers may cause discomfort to
the patient. The scan bodies must not be warmer than body
temperature.
WARNING
Replace the scan body if any damage (scratches,
deformation, excessive wear, etc.) is detected on
either the scan body or the system screwdriver.
WARNING
The sterile barrier must be maintained until use!
STEP 3: MOUNTING THE SCAN BODY ON THE IMPLANT IN
THE PATIENT’S MOUTH
Place the scan body on a clean implant and rotate until the
interface locks and no further rotational movement is possible.
Use the screwdriver to fix the screw finger-tight.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
To avoid damage and unnecessary wear, the
recommended mounting torque is 5 N·cm.
CAUTION
The screwdriver does not have torque limitation!
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the scan body connection and
screw, avoid exceeding the recommended mounting
torque. In case of unintended damage to the scan
body, screw or screwdriver making it impossible to
remove the items, follow standard procedures and
contact the nearest medical facility.
WARNING
To avoid aspiration or swallowing of the scan body
during intra-oral scanning, ensure that the scan
body matches the implant system and platform
and that the screw is tightened. The scan body’s
ID (identifying the implant system and platform)
is labeled on the head section. The standard
recommendation for handling small accessories
intra-orally is to tie a 20 cm long cord (Dental Floss)
around the scan body. Once the scan body is in the
correct position and tightened, the cord can be
removed. Reverse the order of handling for safe
removal. Furthermore, position the patient in such a
way that, should the scan body be dropped or come
loose nevertheless, it will not fall into the patient’s
respiratory or digestive tract. In the case of the scan
body being dropped, it can be securely retrieved
using the cord to pull it out.
WARNING
The standard recommendation for handling small
instruments intra-orally is to tie a 20 cm long cord
(Dental Floss) around the screwdriver. To avoid
aspiration or swallowing of the screwdriver during
mounting/unmounting the scan body, ensure to
hold it firmly and position the patient in such a way
that, should the screwdriver be dropped, it will not
fall into the patient’s respiratory or digestive tract.
In the case of the screwdriver being dropped, it can
be securely retrieved using the cord to pull it out.
WARNING
To avoid aspiration or swallowing despite all above
preventive measures, always have an assistant
in place with suction equipment ready for use. In
case of swallowing of the scan body or screwdriver,
follow standard procedures and contact the nearest
medical facility.
