Electric Motor SI-1015 with W&H connection EM-19, 1.8 m Cable W&H 30185000

FAQs

• Is the previous Implantmed motor compatible with Implantmed Classic?

  No, it has a different connector and is not compatible.

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

  No, the SPI dongle does not fit.

• Is it possible to use the foot controller S-N1 (previous version)?

  No, it has a different connector.

• Should I call the service station before sending equipment for repair?

  If you are not sure what the cause of the problem is, it is better to call the service station and talk to a technician. Together with the technician it can be determined what needs to be sent in and sometimes it is possible to even solve the problem right away.

• What does ISQ stand for?

  The abbreviation ISQ stands for Implant Stability Quotient. It is a value between 1 and 100 and gives the surgeon an insight of the implant stability after placing the implant. With the ISQ value the surgeon can monitor the osseointegration.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• Can the surgeon upgrade the unit by themself or does the unit need technical service?

  The surgeon or dental nurse can easily attach the module to the right side of the Implantmed with the help of the provided quick manual. The module is plug-n-play via a USB connection.

• 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.

• 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 W&H have integrated an electrical connection into new motors. The Light Contacts deliver power to new contra-angles to offer 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.

• Can current contra-angles be attached to new motors?

  Yes. All W&H surgical contra-angles and handpieces can be attached to the new motor EM-19.

• Can the new contra-angles be attached to old motors?

  No. In order to deliver the best balance W&H shortened the inner coupling length. Therefore contra-angles with only an L suffix cannot be attached to old motors.

• Can customers disassemble the new contra-angles?

  Yes. At W&H the letter "S" always communicates, that the surgical contra-angle is disassemble. The letter "I" communicates, that the surgical contra-angle cannot be disassembled (e.g. WS-75 L vs. WI-75)

• 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.

• How does it work to wirelessly control the Implantmed and the Piezomed?

  W&H introduces a new concept in oral surgery and implantology. Via dongles (receiver), which can be connected to the unit by the doctor, the wireless foot control S-NW communicates with the surgical units of W&H

• 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.

• Why doesn't the light on my LED G contra-angle handpiece work when I am positioning an implant?

  The generator in the contra-angle handpiece requires at least 300 rpm to produce enough electricity for the LED. The rotary speed is between 15 and 50 rpm when positioning an implant.

• 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.

• Can my Implantmed/Elcomed 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.

• How can I adjust the torque?

  The torque can be adjusted in P4 and P5 only. In- or decreaseing is done via either "+" or "−" button. A detailed description (factory settings, adjstable range) can be found in the user manual.

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

  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
