IMPoRTanT:
Do not use powdered cleansers, scouring pads or abrasive scrubbers on any of the
painted, plastic or metal surfaces of this dental unit. To remove dried-on material, use a soft-bristled
brush and a solution of mild detergent.
Equipment can be cleaned with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. A variety of surface disinfectants are
available for use in dental treatment rooms. Some of these can cause discoloration of painted, plated or anodized
surfaces with repeated use. This can be minimized by careful adherence to the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions
and by frequent washing with soap and water.
The Manufacturer strongly advocates the barrier tech -
nique be used whenever possible to preserve the finish
and appearance of the equipment. Wherever possible
disposable barriers should be used and changed be -
tween patients. The barrier technique will ensure maxi -
mum long term durability of the surfaces and finishes of
the equipment.
Unacceptable Disinfectants Conditionally Acceptable Disinfectants*
These disinfectants will harm the surface finishes of
dental equipment and are not recommended. Use of
these products will void your warranty.
These disinfectants have been found to be the least
harmful to the equipment surfaces by our test methods.
Disinfection & Sterilization
Infection Control in the dental office continues to be a
high priority for our customers and end users. OSHA, the
ADA and the CDC are also involved in this complex issue.
The Manufacturer will not attempt to specify the required
intervals for disinfection nor can it recommend the overall
best surface disinfectant. Please refer to the Infection
Control Recommendations published by the American
Dental Association for further information. The question
is often asked, “What should I use to disinfect my dental
unit, chair and light?” This question is more complex than
it seems because of the wide variety of products on the
market as well as formulations of the products changing to
meet the needs of increased asepsis
.

Chemical Disinfection
Regardless of the chemical disinfectant used, it is
imperative that the equipment be thoroughly washed
with mild soap and warm water at least once per day.
This wash down will minimize the harmful effects
of chemical disinfectant residues being allowed to
accumulate on the equipment. When using chemical
disinfectants, always pay strict attention to the
disinfectant manufacturer’s directions. When using
concentrated disinfectants, measure the concentrate
carefully and mix according to package directions.
Disinfectant solutions that are relatively harmless
to surfaces at their recommended strengths can be
corrosive at higher than recommended dilution ratios.
WARNING: * The Manufacturer makes no repre -
sentation as to the disinfectant efficacy of these
products. We make no warranty expressed or
implied that these disinfectants will not damage
the surface finishes. Damage and discoloration
of the surface finishes are not covered under the
warranty.
**Iodophor-based disinfectants will cause yellow staining on many surfaces.
