5.4.1 Cleaning the suction hoses
Cleaning the suction hose s
The vacuum system is subjected to septic secretions, saliva and blood
daily. Therefore, due to hygienic reasons, the cleaning of the used suction
hoses is absolutely necessary after each patient, in particular after each
intrusion of blood. For long duration treatments, the suction hose must be
cleaned every 60 minutes.
The vacuum system can be cleaned by pumping water into a tank behind
the receptacle and extracting it from there. A cleaning agent is added to
the water if the dental treatment center is equipped with the chemical
suction hose cleaning option. The cleaning agent tank is accessible via
the maintenance flap on the base of the water unit.
In the Setup of the treatment center, it is possible to set the amount of
cleaning agent to be mixed with water for suction hose cleaning, see
"Adjusting cleaning agent mixture for chemical suction hose
cleaning" [ → 161]..
Cleaning suction hoses and vacuum system
1. Remove the suction cannulas from the suction hoses.
2. Swivel the cover cap on the water unit upward for receiving the
suction hoses.
3. Insert the suction hoses into the receptacle.
4. Press the button.
The (optional) mixture of water and cleaning agent is pumped
into the suction hose cleaning container and drawn off by the
suction hoses. Acoustic signal will beep after completing the
suction hose cleaning.
5. Then place the suction hoses back into their holders on the assistant
element.
