Because of its simple design, the Aseptico AEU-525CF
Transport III System requires very little maintenance. Any
maintenance that is needed can be performed in minutes.
PURGING THE SYSTEM:
If the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, or
if the unit might be subjected to freezing conditions, the user
should purge the system of all water. Simply empty the
contents of the water bottle and install it back into its cap,
then operate the air/water syringe, scaler, and handpiece
with water coolant ‘ON’ until only air comes through the
water lines. Pack the unit and store as normal.
HANDPIECES:
Thorough cleaning and lubrication of E-type handpieces
after each use and before sterilization is very important to
ensure proper operation and service life of
the handpiece. Follow the instructions
provided with the handpiece for complete
maintenance instructions. When sterilizing
IMPORTANT!
Protect motor from excess
oil draining from handpieces. After
lubricating and before autoclaving, stand
handpiece on its base, on a paper towel,
and allow excess oil to drain (see Fig. 122).
ELECTRIC MOTOR & CORD ASSEMBLY:
The entire Electric Motor and Cord Assembly is fully
autoclavable (Fig. 123). Steam autoclave motor/cord
assembly at 132° C (270°
F) for ten minutes. Loosely
coil the motor cord when
autoclaving. Avoid sharply
bending the cord when
autoclaving. Alternatively,
wipe down the motor cord
with disinfecting solution,
and/or sleeve the cord
between each patient.
ELECTRIC MOTOR O-RINGS:
Replace electric motor O-rings when worn or damaged (see
Fig. 124). Gently
peel old O-rings
out of grooves and
replace with new
rings (PN 520069).
Occasionally apply
n o n - t o x i c
( p r e f e r a b l y
containing PTFE)
lubricant to O-rings
to
maintain
flexibility.
LARGE O-RINGS
(On Air/Electric Module and High/Low
Vacuum Lines):
Keep all O-rings lubricated with PTFE lubricant. Periodically
inspect rings for damage or excessive wear -- damaged or
worn O-rings will create vacuum leaks, degrading system
performance.
STERILIZATION AND MAINTENANCE:
MOTOR LED LENS CLEANING:
The lens of the LED light on the motor (see Fig. 124) is soft
and can be damaged. It should not be exposed to dust and
debris. Excessive dust and debris may cause a drastic
decrease in optical output. In the event that the light
requires cleaning, first try a gentle swabbing, using a lint-
free swab. If needed, use a lint-free swab and isopropyl
alcohol to gently remove dirt from the lens. Do not use other
solvents as they may adversely react with the LED
assembly.
GENERAL CLEANING:
The external surfaces of the chassis should be cleaned
using a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution.
Any external surfaces of the unit that are contacted during
use should be wiped down with a soft cloth moistened with
a disinfectant at the beginning of each day and between
each patient use.
WATER LINES:
Disinfect the water lines weekly. Prepare a 1:10 bleach
solution (1 part household bleach to 9 parts water). Remove
water bottle and discard residual water. Replace empty
water bottle and air purge all waterlines. Fill water bottle
with bleach solution. Run bleach solution through all lines.
Allow bleach solution to stand in lines for 10 minutes.
Remove water bottle and discard bleach. Flush water bottle
and all lines thoroughly with clean water. Air purge and
leave lines dry until next clinical use.
VACUUM SYSTEM:
The HVE and low-volume saliva ejector valves are fully
autoclavable. Remove the valves from their hoses before
autoclaving. The vacuum hoses should not be autoclaved.
Clean hoses with a disinfectant solution.
CAUTION
: Use
only NON-foaming cleansers in the vaccum lines.
Fig. 122
CAUTION FOR ALL STERILIZATION:
• Do not exceed 135° C or 275° F
• Do not submerge in any solutions
• Do not use ultrasonic cleaners
• Do not attempt to disassemble the motor or motor
connector.
• Do not oil or lubricate the motor.
• Do not attach a handpiece to the motor while the
motor is running.
• Do not bend motor cord sharply.
WARNING
CAUTION:
The Electric Motor is sensitive to shock. Do not
drop or impact motor against a hard surface
