Important: The Collection Container is not to remain in use for a period longer than 12 months (one
year) from the date of installation . Check container sediment level line weekly to ensure
the effectiveness of waste collection.
Note: The Collection Container of an Acadia Plus Amalgam Separator may fill faster than
expected especially after a new vacuum pump is installed . A new vacuum pump may
have the capability to remove built up deposits from the vacuum lines that would inevi-
tably fill the Separator in less time than anticipated .
Usage Period of Collection Container
The Collection Container is not to remain in use for a period longer than 12 months (one year) from the date of
installation . Effectiveness of the Collection Container is reduced after 12 months due to the common growth of organic
material within the unit . If the container becomes full of collected solid dental waste and not replaced, it would result
in improper separation of amalgam and make it non-compliant to an amalgam inspection . Consequently, it is recom-
mended that the container sediment level, as shown by Figure 8, be checked on a weekly basis to ensure the effective -
ness of the separator . The following provides a guideline to predict when to replace the collection container based on
the number of users .
CONTAINER REPLACEMENT & DISPOSAL
Check weekly and replace
container when waste level
is at or above the FILL line .
Replacement and Disposal of the Collection Container
The use period for the Collection Container of an Acadia Plus Amalgam Separator is

waste containing mercury .
