06.0 - CLEANING, DISINFECTION AND STERILISATION
06.1 - CLEAN function – Cleaning of the liquid circuit
WARNING: Failure to carry out cleaning of the tubes will lead to crystallisation of salts
that can seriously damage the equipment.
WARNING: Handpiece and cord can’t be detached.
The device has a CLEAN function (See point 05.3), which can be used to run a cleaning
cycle to clean the hydraulic circuit. This function must be carried out after using the de-
vice, before cleaning, disinfecting and sterilising all the parts (See following points).
1 Disconnect the tube of the peristaltic pump from the flow-control system.
2 Place the tube in a glass containing water (demineralised water is recommended).
3 To activate the CLEAN function, press the power-selection key and hold it down for 5
seconds (Fig.6 - Ref.D). The following message will appear on the display “Footswitch
to start or a key to abort”.
4 Fit one of the inserts used during the operation onto the handpiece.
5 Place the handpiece over a bowl to collect the water that will be drained off during the
cleaning cycle.
6 Press the footswitch to start the cleaning cycle. As soon as the peristaltic pump starts
up, a status bar will appear on the display to indicate progressively the time remaining
to completion of the tempo CLEAN cycle. The cycle lasts for 20 seconds and cannot
be stopped.
7 Once the cleaning cycle has been completed, the device exits from the CLEAN func-
tion and returns to the function that had been set previously.
8 Repeat the operations described from point 3 onwards to carry out the cleaning cycle
of the tubes and of all the accessories used, i.e.:
- Handpieces (Make sure that the electrical contacts of the cord connector to be sub-
jected to the cleaning cycle are dry);
- Inserts;
- Peristaltic pump tube;
- Cord / peristaltic pump tube connection.
9 On completion of the cleaning operations, empty the tubes and dry the accessories
that have been through the cleaning cycle.
06.2 - Cleaning and disinfecting the casing of the apparatus
DANGER: Switch off the apparatus.
Always turn off the apparatus by means of the switch (Fig.5 - Ref.L) and disconnect it from
the power outlet before carrying out the following cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation
activities.
DANGER: The casing of the apparatus is not protected against the penetration
of liquids. Do not spray liquids directly onto the surface of the casing of the appara-
tus.
