Maintenance and Care
1. Cleaning the Drive Unit
After each use the unit should be disinfected. Spray disinfectant on a soft
towel and wipe the unit. Do not spray directly onto unit. A barrier system
can also be used over the drive unit.
2. “O” Ring and Plunger Maintenance and Lubrication
A properly maintained and lubricated “O” Ring is necessary for effective
functioning of the aspiration cycle. We recommend that the following
procedure be initiated:
a. Check “O” Ring for cracks, deterioration, or lack of lubrication daily.
b. If cracked or deteriorated, replace at once.
c. If dry or not lubricated, lubricate with silicone gel provided in
handpiece box.
d. While plunger is extended, lightly lubricate plunger shaft with
silicone gel. This will enhance smooth performance.
NOTE: Unit will automatically remind you to lubricate after every 24 cycles.
WARNING: When AutoPurge/Retract button is pressed and held down
while the power is turned ‘On’ the plunger will automatically fully extend.
See plunger changing and sterilizing.
3. Plunger and “O” Ring Changing and Sterilizing
Plunger and O-Ring Assembly may be removed for sterilization or
replacement. Do not activate cleaning mode with cartridge in place.
Removal of plunger and O-Ring assembly (Cleaning Mode)
Remove cartridge holder from socket if present. Turn off the device, press
and hold the AutoPurge/Retract button and then turn the device back on.
The drive unit will automatically extend the plunger and O-Ring assembly
for removal. Unscrew the plunger from the drive unit by rotating it counter-
clockwise.
