The use of non-foaming wipes, like the brands listed previous, can also be used on these surfaces. Again, avoid
brands where ammonium or bleach is the active ingredient as the residue left behind can degrade components
on the unit.
Wiping Down/Disinfecting Handpiece Tubings
Handpiece tubing can be wiped down with non-staining disinfecting solutions with brands such as ProSpray
Wipes by Certol, Optim 1 Wipes by SciCan, or PDI Super Sani-Cloth.
Do not use Cavicide or other brands where ammonium or bleach is the active ingredient, as those
chemicals are known to cause yellow staining on the tubing and the residue can degrade plastics and
metals.
Disinfection of Clean Water System
It is recommended to use the DentaPure Cartridge in the clean water system bottles to
disinfect the water system. The DP365 is designed for use for one year without requiring
daily maintenance.
This cartridge is available for purchase directly from ASI. Order PN 95-0281 at
ASIsupport.com.
To use, the cartridge can be attached to the pick-up tube that hangs down in the water bottle
by screwing it into the supplied fitting. To replace, unscrew the old cartridge and screw in the
new one. Place the Date Changed label on the outside of the clean water system as a
reminder of when the next change is required.
Do not use the DentaPure DP365 Cartridge for longer than its rated one-year period. The cartridge will no
longer provide disinfection for the system and may plug the unit and obstruct the water flow. Do not use
the DentaPure DP365 if using a shock treatment to disinfect lines as it will damage the cartridge. The
cartridge must be removed and a standard tubing used in the bottle for performing shock disinfection
treatment of the water system. Do not use bleach to disinfect the water system. Due to its caustic nature,
it can corrode certain internal parts. Any damage is excluded from warranty coverage. The user assumes
all responsibility for maintaining and disinfection of the water system, and for periodically having water
sample tests performed to ensure that disinfection is satisfactory.
There are many other established methods for disinfecting a closed water system that consist of liquids,
powders and tablets. However, the chemicals used in these cleaners may damage the materials of the
diaphragms used in the control block and other valves in the delivery system. Further, tablets may not dissolve
completely and may cause blockage of the water system. Any damage to the system as a result of the use of
these alternate cleaners is excluded from warranty coverage.
