STERILIZATION AND
MAINTENANCE:
HANDPIECES
- Thorough cleaning and lubrication of handpieces
after each use and before sterilization is very important to ensure
proper operation and service life of the handpiece. Follow the
instructions provided with the handpiece for complete mainte-
nance instructions.
IMPORTANT!
Protect motor from excess oil draining from hand-
piece. After lubricating and before autoclaving, stand handpiece
by its base on a paper towel and allow excess oil to drain.
MOTORS
- The AE-210-30 motor is fully autoclavable. Detach
the motor from motor cord by unscrewing the metal motor to
cable connector by turning counter-clockwise (see photo below).
Steam autoclave the motor at 132° C (270° F) for five minutes.
Wipe down motor cable with disinfecting solution. We recom-
mend also sleeving the cable between each patient.
MOTOR WATER LINE
- Disinfect the water lines weekly.
Prepare a 1:10 bleach solution (1 part household bleach to 9 part
water). Air purge waterline. Run bleach through line. Allow bleach
solution to stand in lines for 10 minutes. Flush thoroughly with
clean water. Air purge and leave lines dry until next clinical use.
MOTOR & CORD STERILIZATION FOR SURGICAL USE:
When the motor cord must be autoclaved, autoclave cord and
motor joined - do not separate the cord from motor. Install auto-
claving cap onto motor cord as illustrated. Turn black connector
ring connector and the cap will click into place. The motor cord
may be autoclaved but extensive autoclaving will shorten the life
of the cable. Loosely coil the motor cord when autoclaving. Avoid
sharply bending the cord when autoclaving.
CONSOLE
- The exterior of the console may be cleaned by wip-
ing with a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent or disinfecting
solution.
SILICONE WATER LINES
- The silicone water lines used for the
pump (Item AE-26) are fully autoclavable. Sterilize at 132º C
(270º F) for 3 minutes.
CAUTION FOR ALL STERILIZATION:
• Do not submerge in any solutions.
• Do not use ultrasonic cleaners.
• Do not attempt to disassemble
the motor.
• Do not oil or lubricate the motor.
• Do not attach a handpiece to the
motor while the motor is running.
• Do not bend motor cord sharply.
Failure to comply with any of the above
instructions may void your warranty
WARNING
• Always install the red cord connector cap onto
motor connector before autoclaving.
• Loosely coil the motor cord when autoclaving.
Avoid sharply bending the cord when autoclaving.
CORD CONNECTOR CAP
Turn black connector ring until
connector cap will click into place.
To autoclave motor only - without cord, detach the motor
from motor cord by unscrewing the metal motor to cord
connector by turning counter-clockwise.
MOTOR & CABLE STERILIZATION FOR SURGICAL USE:
The motor and cable may be steam autoclaved together.
Do not separate the motor from cable. Install autoclaving
cap into motor cord.
After lubricating and before auto-
claving, stand handpiece by its
base on a paper towel and allow
excess oil to drain.
