Touchpad A-dec 500 Assistant's Instrumentation
Dental Light
The dental light button on the touchpad works as a three-way switch allowing you to turn the dental
light on or off from either the touchpad or the dental light.
A quick press on the button allows you to toggle between three intensity settings, depending on the
location of the dental light’s intensity switch. The dental light can be toggled between composite and
medium intensity settings or composite and high intensity settings. When the dental light is in the
composite setting, the indicator light next to the button flashes.
The dental light also has an auto on/off feature. When using a programmed chair position (1 or 2), the
dental light will come on when the chair reaches an operating position. The dental light will turn off
automatically when Position 0 (entry/exit) or Position 3 (x-ray/rinse) is pressed.
NOTE: If Position 3 has been reprogrammed to a programmable position, the dental light will not
turn on/off when Position 3 is pressed.
How to Disable Factory Preset Functions
There are two factory preset options that can be turned on or off from the standard touchpad.
Dental Light (auto on/off)
Auto On/Off setting can be turned off by pressing and holding the Program button and then the Light
button together for three seconds. One beep will confirm that the factory preset has been turned off. To
return to the factory preset repeat steps. Three beeps will confirm that the auto on/off function is on.
Position 3 (x-ray/rinse)
Position 3 can be toggled from the x-ray/rinse position to a programmed position. To program
Position 3, press Program and then press and hold Position 3 together for three seconds. One beep
confirms that the position can be programmed. To return to the x-ray/rinse position, repeat steps. Three
beeps confirms that the x-ray/rinse function is on.

Care Instructions
Touch and Transfer Surfaces
Touch surfaces are those areas that require contact and become potential cross-contamination points
during dental procedures. The minimum touch surface locations on A-dec 500 products include the
touchpad(s), control head brake handles, and dental light handles and switches.
Transfer surfaces are those surfaces that are contaminated by contact with instruments and other
inanimate objects. The primary transfer surfaces on the A-dec 500 product include traditional holders,
Continental” instrument pad, and trays.
A-dec recommends barrier protection for all applicable touch and transfer surfaces. When used, barriers
must be FDA market-cleared barrier plastic. Cover-All™ barrier film or any other FDA market-cleared
barrier film is suitable for this application. Refer to your national regulatory authorities for barrier
recommendations specific to your locale. Barrier plastics should be removed and discarded after each
patient treatment.
For touch and transfer surfaces where barrier protection is not applicable or when barriers are
compromised, please refer to A-dec’s Equipment Asepsis Owner’s Guide (P/N 85.0696.00) for
recommendations on proper cleaning and chemical disinfection.
Heat Sterilization
High volume evacuators (HVE), saliva ejectors (SE), and air/water syringes should be steam autoclaved
between patients. The following protocol should be followed:
HVE — steam autoclave at 134°C (273°F), 6 minutes holding time
SE — steam autoclave at 134°C (273°F), 6 minutes holding time
Air /Water Syringe - steam autoclave at 134°C (273°F), 4 minutes holding time
Each handheld device with air and water lines should be discharged for 20-30 seconds between each
patient to reduce the chance of cross-contamination as a result of potential bio-burden retraction.
Specifications
Minimum air, water and vacuum service requirements for proper unit operation:
Air: 2.50 cfm (70.80 1/min) at 80 psi (551 kPa).
Water: 1.50 gpm (5.68 1/min) at 40 psi (276 kPa).
Vacuum: 12 cfm (339.84 1/min) at 8 inches of mercury (27 kPa).
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
