WARNING
• Use a properly reprocessed air/water valve. Use of an improperly reprocessed air/water
valve could be a source of infection.
• Use the air/water channel cleaning adapter only for pre-cleaning of the air/water channel.
If it is used during a procedure, continuous air supply may occur and cause patient injury.
CAUTION
• Do not use any lubricants (except sterile water) to the air/water valve. It may impair the
functionality of the valve or may clog the channel, diminishing functionality of air/water
supply.
