2 Safety
Dürr Dental has designed and constructed this
device so that when used properly and for the
intended purpose there is no danger to people
or property� Nevertheless, residual risks can re-
main� You should therefore observe the follow-
ing notes�
2.1 Intended purpose
The suction unit provides the dental treatment
unit with vacuum and volume flow�
2.2 Intended use
Working in combination with the suction unit
with treatment unit, suction handpiece and can-
nula, the media used in dental treatment (e�g�
water, saliva, dentine and amalgam) are re-
moved by suction for disposal�
This unit is technically suitable for the aspiration
of nitrous oxide (laughing gas)� However, when
assembling a system for aspiration of nitrous
oxide, it is important to ensure that the other
components in the system are also suitable for
this purpose� Those responsible for setting up
the system must assess this and approve and
release the system for the aspiration of nitrous
oxide�
Operation with nitrous oxide is only per-
mitted if the exhaust air is transported
from the unit to the outside of the build-
ing�
2.3 Improper use
Any other usage or usage beyond this scope is
deemed to be improper� The manufacturer ac-
cepts no liability for damages resulting from this�
In these cases the user/operator will bear the
sole risk�
i
Do not use this device to aspirate flammable
or explosive mixtures�
i
The unit must not be used as a vacuum
cleaner�
i
Do not use chemicals containing chlorine or
foaming chemicals�
i
Operation in operating theatres of explosive
areas is not permissible�
i
The following suction units must not be set up
in the patient environment (within a radius of
1�5 m): V 600, V 900 S and V 1200 S�
