Vacuum system
5.4.1 Purge the vacuum system.
If the treatment center is equipped with the suction hose cleaning option,
proceed according to the instruction in section "Cleaning the suction
hoses" (below).
If the suction hose cleaning option is not available, you must aspirate a
large glass of clear, cold water through the suction hoses used after each
patient, especially after each intervention during which the patient loses
blood, to ensure that the vacuum system is always ready for use
During prolonged treatments, you must aspirate a glass of water at least
every 60 minutes.
The suction system must be cleaned at regular intervals, see"Cleaning
the suction system using the cleaning adapter in the cuspidor bowl".
5.4.2 Cleaning the suction hoses
The suction system is exposed daily to secretions, saliva, and blood that
contain bacteria. Therefore, for reasons of hygiene, the used suction
hoses must be cleaned after each patient, in particular after every
treatment involving blood. For long-duration treatments, the suction hose
must be cleaned at least every 60 minutes.
To clean the suction system, water is pumped into a tank behind the
suction hose intake and suctioned off from there.
5.4.2.1
Cleaning the suction hose on the Compact water unit
In the Compact water unit, the suction hose cleaning is optional. The
suction hose cleaning option is not available in combination with an air jet
pump (Air Venturi). The chemical suction hose cleaning option is not
available for the compact water unit.
If the treatment center is not equipped with the suction hose cleaning
option, a large glass of cold, clear water must be regularly aspirated
instead, see "Purging the suction system" [ → 235].
The mount for the suction hose cleaning is connected under the cuspidor
on the Compact water unit. This can be used to purge the suction hoses
consecutively.
1. Remove the suction tips from the suction hoses.
2. Set maximum suction flow on the suction handpiece to be cleaned.
All the other suction handpieces must be completely closed.
