Characteristics
Penguin RFA is an instrument for measuring the stability (ISQ) of dental and craniofacial implants. The instrument measures the resonance frequency of a MulTipeg and presents it as an ISQ value. The ISQ value, 1-99, reflects the stability of the implant – the higher the value, the more stable the implant. The instrument measures the ISQ-value with a precision of +/- 1 ISQ unit. When mounted onto an implant, the MulTipeg resonance frequency can vary up to 2 ISQ units depending on the tightening torque.
Warning : Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation.
MulTipeg
The MulTipeg is made from titanium and has an integrated grip for the MulTipeg driver on top. Inspect the MulTipeg for damage before use. Damaged MulTipegs should not be used due to the risk of erroneous measurements. There are different MulTipegs available made to fit different implant systems and types. Please refer to the updated list from the supplier
Measurements should only be performed using the correct MulTipegs. Using the wrong MulTipeg could cause erroneous measurements or damages to the MulTipeg or implant. The instrument emits short magnetic pulses with pulse duration of 1 ms and strength of +/- 20 gauss, 10 mm from the instrument tip. Precautions might be necessary when using the instrument close to cardiac pacemakers or other equipment sensitive to magnetic fields
Technical function
For bringing the MulTipeg into vibration, short magnetic pulses are sent from the instrument tip. The magnetic pulses interact with the magnet inside the MulTipeg and cause the MulTipeg to vibrate. A pickup in the instrument picks up the alternating magnetic field from the vibrating magnet, calculates the frequency and from that, the ISQ value.
Implant stability
An implant can have different stabilities in different directions. Make sure to measure from different directions around the top of the MulTipeg.
ISQ-value
The stability of the implant is presented as an “ISQ value”. The higher the value, the more stable the implant. The ISQ is described in numerous clinical studies. A list of studies can be ordered from the supplier.
Batteries & charging
The instrument contains 2 NiMH battery cells that must be charged before use. A full charge takes approximately 3 hours at 20°C or 68°F. Warmer room temperature will increase the charging time. From fully charged, the instrument can measure continuously for 60 minutes before it needs to be recharged. The yellow LED is lit when the battery needs recharging. When the battery reaches a critical level, the instrument shuts off automatically. When the batteries are charging, the blue LED is lit. When the charging is ready, the light goes off. The charger should not be plugged in while measuring due to the risk of power line interference making it difficult to measure.
Usage
Instrument on/off
To turn the instrument on, press the operating key. A short beep should be
heard and then all display segments are lit up for a short while. Check that
all display segments are lit. The software version is then shown briefly
before the instrument starts to measure. If any error code (EX, where “X” is
the error number) is shown during start up, please refer to the section
“Troubleshooting”. To turn off, press and hold the operating key until the
instrument turns off. The instrument will power down automatically after 30
seconds of inactivity.
Measurement Penguin RFA
A MulTipeg (fig 3) is mounted onto the implant by using the MulTipeg driver
(fig 2). Use hand-tightening with 6-8 Ncm of tightening torque. Turn on the
instrument and hold the tip close to the top of the MulTipeg (fig 5). When a
signal is received, a beep is heard and then the ISQ-value is shown on the
display for a short while before the instrument starts to measure again. If
electromagnetic noise is present, the instrument cannot measure. The
electromagnetic noise warning is audible as well as visible on the display.
Try to remove the source of the noise. The source could be any electric
equipment close to the instrument.
Cleaning and maintenance
Before use, the parts should be cleaned and disinfected.
Recommended disinfectants
The following disinfectants are recommended for the instrument, the MulTipeg
and the MulTipeg Driver:
- Schülke & Mayr: Mikrozid AF Liquid
- Dürr : FD 322
- Metrex : CaviCide
Follow the instructions for use for the disinfectant that is used. Do not autoclave the instrument
Autoclave sterilization (MulTipeg & MulTipeg Driver)
Sterilization should be made in a pre-vacuum steam sterilizer (autoclave)
according to ISO 17665-1. Clean the products and put them in an autoclave The
following sterilization process shall be used: At least 3 Minutes at 134
(-1/+4)°C or 273(-1.6/+7.4)°F Follow the instruction for the autoclave that is
used. Do not clean the MulTipeg by ultrasound. Could cause damage. The
instrument must be used with a cover in all uses. (Only US) The instrument
must be cleaned with a disinfectant between patients.
Cleaning
- Instrument The instrument is cleaned with a wet cloth. Any of the above disinfectants can be used. For use in environments requiring sterility, the instrument should be covered with a sterile cover.
- MulTipeg Driver and MulTipegs The MulTipeg Driver and the MulTipeg should be cleaned with water with or without detergent, using a light brush. Any of the above disinfectant fluids can be used. For use in environments requiring sterility, the MulTipeg Driver and MulTipeg should be autoclaved before use according to the above instructions.
Lifetime
The lifetime of the instrument is determined by the number of charging cycles.
The internal batteries can be fully charged more than 500 times before they
need to be replaced. The instrument should not be left uncharged for more than
1 year.
The MulTipeg Driver is guaranteed for at least 100 autoclave cycles, and a
MulTipeg is guaranteed for at least 20 autoclave cycles, before they are
degraded in any way.
Troubleshooting
Possible errors
- Difficult to achieve a measurement : In some cases it is more difficult for the instrument to bring the MulTipeg into vibration. If so, try to hold the instrument tip closer to the tip of the MulTipeg. Check also that no soft tissue is touching the MulTipeg which might stop its vibration.
- Noise warning (audible and visible on the display): An electric device close to the instrument is causing the warning. Try to remove the source.
- The instrument suddenly turns off: The instrument turns off automatically after 30 seconds of inactivity. It also turns off if the battery level is too low, and due to any of the error codes described below.
- Not all segments are lit up when instrument is started : The instrument is damaged and has to be sent for repair or exchange.
Error codes
If malfunctioning, these error codes are shown on the display before it turns
off:
- E1 : Hardware error. Malfunctioning electronics
- E2 : Noise error. Shown if constant electromagnetic noise is present
- E3 : Pulse power error. Malfunctioning magnetic pulse generation
Use of accessories other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
