Cleaning the Vacuum System
Clean vacuum lines daily. Just before turning off the RAMVAC, rinse vacuum lines first with hot water -- approximately one quart
through each high volume line and a few ounces through each saliva ejector line. Then aspirate a few ounces of a dental vacuum
line cleaner through each vacuum line. SlugBuster
TM
is highly recommended. Cleaners should have these qualities:
·
Non-Foaming:
De-Odorizing:
Cleaning requirements will vary according to activity. After surgical procedures, aspirate a few ounces of an appropriate vacuum line
cleaner, such as SlugBuster, through the lines.
For overhead plumbing, be sure to allow air to follow liquids before closing vacuum valves.
Clean treatment room solids separators routinely. Check the treatment room solids separator routinely and clean when dirty.
Cleaning Unit
1. Always disconnect the power from the equipment prior to cleaning.
2. Some parts on the vacuum get hot during operation. Provide the unit ample time to cool prior to cleaning.
3. All components can be safely wiped down with a damp cloth, wet with water. We do not recommend using any
cleaners or harsh chemicals to clean this equipment since their potentially harmful effects have not been evaluated.
4. Do not heavily wet electrical components
5. Allow equipment to air dry or dry with clean, soft cloth.
Foam may cause a Moisture in Filtrols Fault (See “Moisture in Filtrols Fault”) and shut down
the Bison. Avoid interruptions by insuring your cleaner is truly “non-foaming”.
Test by shaking the mixed solution. True “non-foamers” will be bubble free.
