Amalgam rotor, disposal
Optional cleaning agent tank available
Cleaning the vacuum system
The amalgam rotor is subjected to septic secretions, saliva and blood. It
is therefore important to clean the vacuum system before changing the
amalgam rotor.
If the treatment center is equipped with the chemical suction hose
cleaning option, see "Cleaning the suction hoses" [ → 192]. If this option
is not available, see “Cleaning vacuum system using adapter in the
cuspidor” [ → 193].
Removal and disposal of the amalgam rotor
Wear gloves, risk of contamination
✔ The treatment center is switched on.
1. Open the flap (A) on the base of the water unit.
2. Loosen the bayonet catch by turning the lower part of the amalgam
separator (B) counterclockwise. Remove the lower part of the
amalgam separator along with the amalgam rotor located inside it.
The message "Amalg" appears on the touchscreen and an
acoustic signal sounds.
3. Dispose of the collected amalgam residues from the cuspidor bowl
and from the suction hoses in the amalgam rotor; see "Cleaning the
gold trap" [ → 198] and "Cleaning and disinfecting the suction
hoses" [ → 195]. Fill the amalgam residues into the amalgam rotor.
4. Hold the lower part of the amalgam separator upright. Attach the
transport cap to the amalgam rotor.
The transport cap locks in place. A bonding agent is released on
attachment. Therefore, please note that the transport cap cannot
be removed again once it has been closed.
5. Remove the amalgam rotor with the transport cap from the lower part
of the amalgam separator.
IMPORTANT
Disposal of the amalgam rotor
When a replacement rotor is supplied, a package for the return shipment
of the filled amalgam rotor is attached.
Authorize only certified waste management companies to dispose of
rotors.
