MAINTENANCE AND STERILIZATION
Failure to adhere to the following instructions or blatant misuse of
the device and/or related components will be considered abuse of the
device and will void the warranty.
Call Aseptico at 1-800-426-5913 with any questions on
sterilization procedures.
Purging Water from System
If the unit will not be used for an extended period or exposed to
freezing temperatures, purge the system of all water. Simply empty
the water bottle and install back into place. Operate the air/water
syringe and handpiece with water coolant switched on until only
air comes through the water lines. Saliva and HVE suction lines and
the waste container should also be empty of all liquid.
Water Lines
Disinfect the water lines weekly. Start by purging water from the
system as described in the section above. Prepare a 1:10 bleach
solution (1 part household bleach to 9 parts water). Run the bleach
solution through all water lines. Allow bleach solution to stand in
lines for 10 minutes. Remove water bottle and discard bleach solu-
tion. Flush water bottle and all lines thoroughly with clean water.
Purge all water from system and leave lines dry until next use.
Waste System and Ejector Valves
After each patient, vacuum .3 liter of clean water through either of
the ejector lines (saliva or HVE) then empty the waste container.
Repeat for the remaining ejector line. Vacuum .3 liter of a 1:10
bleach solution through either of the ejector lines (saliva or HVE)
then empty the waste container. Repeat for the remaining ejector
line. Vacuum .3 liter of clean water through either of the ejector
lines (saliva or HVE) then empty the waste container. Repeat for
the remaining ejector line. Purge the lines of liquid. Rinse the waste
container with clean water. The saliva and HVE ejector valves are
autoclavable using any one of the STERILIZATION METHODS listed
on page 15. The ejector hoses are not autoclavable.
CAUTION
: Use only non-foaming cleansers in the vacuum
lines. Foam can get sucked into the vacuum pump causing
permanent damage and voiding the warranty.
