9.1 Metasys Amalgam Separator
If the equipment does not work as described below,
contact an authorized Heka Dental dealer immediately.
To ensure the correct function and to avoid malfunction of the Metasys amalgam
separator the following must be carried out:
Daily Care
Rinse the suction hoses and the spittoon after every treatment. We recommend that
the spittoon and the suction system are cleaned every day at midday and in the
evening, or refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for preventive maintenance to
keep the Dental Delivery System functioning properly.
We recommend the use of Metasys Green & Clean for cleaning (F-979).
Weekly Care
Turn off the Dental Delivery System. Remove the side cover plate furthest away from
the patient chair. The filter drawer must be cleaned once a week. The filter drawer
should be changed every 2 or 3 months. To assist you, all pieces that are to be
maintained are yellow. Clean the sensors as required with a toothbrush or similar
object.
Replacement of the amalgam collection tank
1. Switch off the Dental Delivery System.
2. Remove the cover plate furthest away from the patient chair.
3. Lift up the locking bracket and pull out the entire tank element horizontally.
4. Open the four clip locks. Lift the separator element up and down a couple of
times. Afterwards, clean the outside of the pump as well as the pump filter at
the bottom. Then clean the three sensor electrodes (three black "sticks"). You
can use a toothbrush or similar object for cleaning purposes.
5. Place the separator element in the new tank, facing the "front" label on the
tank.
6. Close all four clip locks.
7. Slide the tank element carefully along its rail and check that it is positioned
correctly. Lower the locking bracket.
8. Switch on the Dental Delivery System and check that the green light-emitting
diode on the display indicator switches on.
When the amalgam container in the separator is 90% full, there will be both a visual
and an acoustic alarm on the Separator keyboard.
The alarm can be deleted from the separator keyboard and the Dental Delivery
System will work as normal.
We recommend changing/emptying the amalgam container as soon as possible.
If you neglect to change/empty the container, at some point you will reach a 100%
alarm.
The separator only checks the amount of amalgam on start-up, i.e. when the Dental
Delivery System is switched on.
