THREE-WAY AIR / WATER SYRINGE
This handpiece allows the operator to rinse the operative site with a stream of water or mist or dry /
blow debris with a stream of air. The button on the left controls water flow. The button on the right
controls airflow. Pressing both buttons at the same time provides mist. The air / water syringe works
independently of the other handpieces and can be used alone or with the other handpieces.
The syringe features quick-change autoclavable tips: To remove a tip, press on the locking collar
surrounding the tip socket and pull the used tip straight out of the socket. To insert a new tip, press
locking collar and push tip into the socket as far as it will go. Release collar and gently tug on tip
before using to ensure that tip is securely locked into socket.
SYRINGE TIP STERILIZATION
1) Remove contaminated syringe tip.
2) Remove all visible signs of contamination before autoclaving.
3) Autoclave tip at 132° C (270° F) for ten minutes.
4) Sterilize between patients.
NOTE: Since only the tips can be autoclaved, It is recommended that the air / water syringe be
bagged with a disposable, single-use plastic sleeve between patients.
