Can my Implantmed motor be processed via thermal washer disinfector?

Yes, if the thermal washer disinfector has a drying cycle and the motor bears the sign that it is "Thermo washer disinfectable".

Can my Implantmed/Elcomed motor be processed in a vacuum sterilizer with the protection cap in place.

No. The new generation of motors have to be sterilized without cap.

Does my W&H unit need to be serviced.

Regular servicing of function and safety including the accessories is necessary and should be carried out at least once every three years, unless shorter intervals are prescribed by law. Detailed information can be found in the user manual at chapter "Servicing".

What types of tubing can I use on my device?

For propper tubing see or user manual.

Can handpieces from another manufacturer be used on a W&H surgical motor (implantmed)?

For applications which do not require accurate torque (drilling, grinding,…), any handpiece with ISO 3964 connection can be used. Please be informed that hand pieces from other manufacturers might not be able to handle the torque of your unit/motor and therefore might get damaged.

Can other brands of tubing be used?

Not recommended. Due to different specifications (material, dimensions) it could cause problems like leakage, insufficient cooling or even damage the unit. For propper tubing see "correlation of tubing" or user manual.

How to insert irrigation tube?

Please find a detailed description in the user manual at chapter "Starting operation - General".

How can the unit / motor be cleaned / sterilized?

Please find a detailed description in the user manual at chapter "Hygiene and Maintenance".

Is it possible to set the motor speed with the program for positioning an implant?

No, the speed in program P4 is 15 rpm when in forward operation and 30 rpm in reverse operation. In program P5 (thread cutter function) the speed is 20 rpm in both forward and reverse operation and only the torque can be set.

Does the motor need to be greased?

No, the Implantmed/Elcomed motor does not need greasing. The motor bearings require no maintenance. Any additional greasing would reduce the service life of the bearings.

How does the measurement of the ISQ work?

> To measure the ISQ of an implant, you first screw a so called SmartPeg into the placed implant. The SmartPeg, with its magnet on top, works like a small tuning fork. The magnet on the SmartPeg is ‘hit’ with magnetic pulses, from the probe, which makes the SmartPeg vibrate. Due to the stiffness in the interface between the implant surface and the bone the SmartPeg will vibrate accordingly. The more dense the bone is the higher stability and the higher ISQ value.

Can previous Implantmed units be retrofitted with the wireless foot control

It depends but basically yes. The following units can be retrofitted Implantmed SI-923 REF16929000 Implantmed SI-915 REF16929001 Elcomed SA-310 REF15933100/15933101/15933102/15933103 Please contact your local W&H Partner to find out if the wireless foot control is already registered in your country

Are old cable foot controls compatible with the new unit or vice versa?

No. The new cable foot control S-N2 is based on the industrial CAN standard. So connecting the old foot control S-N1 is not possible.

What does the LC in EM-19 LC stand for, is there a LED in the motor?

The LC stands for Light Contacts. This means that we have integrated an electrical connection into our new motors. The Light Contacts deliver power to our new contra-angles to offer our customers the best light at any rotation speed. For oral surgery handpieces from W&H, the LED remains in the head of the contra-angles

Are previous Implantmed motors compatible with the new Implantmed or vice versa?

No. The new motor has a new technological basis and is the shortest available

Is every new Implantmed compatible with the W&H Osstell ISQ module?

Yes. All control units SI-1023, SI-1015 and SI-1010 can be upgraded with the W&H Osstell ISQ module

What’s the difference between torque and ISQ?

Torque is a one time, static measurement at the time of placement of the implant and cannot be repeated later on in a non-invasive way. Osstell ISQ measures the lateral stability of the implant and the measurements can be repeated in a non-invasive, dynamic way to monitor the development of osseointegration.

Is it possible to use the Implantmed Classic in combination with the wireless foot controller?

No, the SPI dongle does not fit.

Módulo Piezomed: É possível realizar retrofit em dispositivos já existentes no mercado?

Sim, todos os dispositivos SI-10XX.

Módulo Piezomed: O módulo funciona com dispositivos OEM?

Sim, mas são necessárias atualizações de software específicas.

O método ISQ é cientificamente comprovado?

A tecnologia ISQ da W&H Osstell é comprovada por mais de 1400 estudos científicos. A base de dados é atualizada regularmente, onde são compiladas todas as pesquisas científicas relacionadas à tecnologia Osstell ISQ. Você poderá consultar todos os estudos científicos na página www.osstell.com.

Por que a luz da minha peça de mão LED G não funciona quando estou inserindo um implante?

O gerador nas peças de mão modelo LED G requer uma rotação mínima de 300 rpm para produzir eletricidade suficiente para o LED. Ao inserir um implante, a velocidade de rotação é de 15 a 50 rpm.

Os atuais contra-ângulos cirúrgicos podem ser fixados aos novos micromotores?

Sim. Todos os contra-ângulos e peças retas da linha cirúrgica W&H podem ser fixados ao micromotor EM-19.

Os novos contra-ângulos da linha cirúrgica podem ser usados com os micromotores antigos?

Não. Para proporcionar um melhor equilíbrio, reduzimos o tamanho do eixo do acoplamento. Portanto, contra-ângulos cirúrgicos que contém apenas a letra "L" no código do modelo não podem ser conectados aos motores antigos.

É possível desmontar os contra-ângulos cirúrgicos W&H?

Sim. Todos os contra-ângulos cirúrgicos W&H que possuem a letra “S” no código do modelo podem ser desmontados (por exemplo, WS-75 L). A letra "I" no código do modelo indica que o contra-ângulo cirúrgico não pode ser desmontado (por exemplo, WI-75)
