Maintenance & Care_________________________________________________
Cleaning the HELIUS-40
The surface of the equipment should be cleaned between each patient and at the end of the
day for optimal infection control.
1.
After each treatment turn OFF the machine (13).
2.
Remove the rotating tool (burr, Rotatool, carrier, etc.)
3.
Discard or clean and disinfect the tool according to the instructions provided by its
manufacturer.
4.
Wipe off the unit and handpiece with a mildly moistened paper cloth to remove any
dust or dirt.
5.
Clean all surfaces with a disinfection cloth (eg. Mikroid AF Cloth, Accel Wipes, etc.)
6.
Turn the machine ON to resume work.
Changing the Filter Bag
Check the filter bag every 10 hours of operation (once daily) to
ensure that it is not full and that it is connected properly to the
suction hose.
1.
Unfold a new filter bag and push your finger into the opening
on the front to ensure that it is unobstructed.
2.
Remove cover plate (14) on side of unit by pulling outwards.
3.
Discard the old filter bag by pulling the filter from the suction
hose, being careful not to spill its contents.
4.
Replace the filter bag by holding the new bag by the front
cardboard plate and sliding it onto the hose until it sits securely
(see picture).
5.
Replace cover plate into the control unit so that it lies flat. The
cover plate may move a little but should fit tightly when the
suction is in operation.
WARNING: Never work with a full filter bag or without a filter bag as this is unsafe and can
seriously damage the equipment!! Check the filter bag every 10 operating hours and if it is
full, please exchange it. A filter bag should be exchanged after 50 operating hours, even if it is
not considered completely full.
