5.5.10 Emptying the collector of the air jet pump
The air jet pump (Air Venturi) is an option available for the Compact water
unit.
The air jet pump is installed only if neither an amalgam separator or
sediment container nor a wet suction device is installed.
In the air jet pump, compressed air flows through a Venturi jet. The
suction caused by this is used in the vacuum system
In addition to other solid particles, a large portion of the amalgam
residues are trapped in the collector of the air jet pump by gravitational
force.
Empty the container of the air jet pump in cycles that are appropriate for
your work method, but at least every week.
Cleaning the suction system
The air jet pump is exposed to secretions, saliva and blood containing
bacteria. It is therefore important to clean the vacuum system before
removing the collector.
If the treatment center is equipped with the chemical suction hose
cleaning option, see "Cleaning the suction hoses" [ → 235]. If this option
is not available, see "Cleaning vacuum system using cleaning adapter in
the cuspidor or via external container" [ → 242].
