Add required amount of E2O
TM
to water bottle (dose
dependent on water bottle size). Proceed to fill water bottle
with potable water (tap water or distilled water) to regular fill.
Adding E2O
TM
prior to filling bottle will reduce splatter and
ensure product is properly mixed.

Shock Treatment | Directions
*
Please note the shock treatment is measured per chair,
regardless of the size of your water bottle.
Shock treatment should be performed at the end of the day,
after the last patient AND on a day when someone will be
returning the following morning.
1.
Empty any remaining solution from the water bottle.
2.
Prepare shock treatment. Reference the appropriate
number of chairs you need to shock from the
Shock
Treatment Dosage Chart
and dilute only what you need,
there is no wasted product. Add required amount of
E2O
TM
to empty water bottle, then dilute with potable
water (tap water or distilled water) appropriately.
Adding E2O
TM
prior to filling bottle will reduce splatter
and ensure product is properly mixed.
As the shock treatment requires such a small amount of
product per chair, we recommend one of the following:
i.
Mix enough for all chairs in one bottle, and then
divide appropriately between the bottles in each
operatory OR
ii.
Mix enough for all chairs in one bottle,
then travel to each operatory and purge the
appropriate amount of shock treatment through
the lines.
If the bottle is not completely full with shock treatment,
shake well to ensure the solution comes in contact with
all the interior surfaces of the bottle.
3.
Reattach bottle.
4.
Ensure no attachments are on the lines (handpieces,
air/water syringes, ultrasonic and/or piezo scalers).

5.
Place the lines into a sink and purge the lines for 2–3
minutes. This ensures that the shock treatment has
passed throughout the lines. Leave the shock treatment
in the lines overnight.
6.
In the morning remove and empty the bottle containing
the shock treatment.
7.
Fill the bottle with E2O

.
Reattach bottle to unit.
8.
As per current standards/guidelines, purge the lines into
a sink, with no attachments, for 2–3 minutes. Removing
the attachments is an important step, as you do not
want any debris from this treatment lodging in the
attachments.
*
Continue to use the E2O

refilling as needed.
*
E2O

daily maintenance treatment/E2O

shock treatment
maintains efficacy for up to 2 weeks when diluted.
•
A higher concentration of E2O

than the daily
maintenance treatment.
•
When to perform a shock treatment:
1.
Before initial use of E2O
TM
to clean out your system.
2.
Once a month; or as needed (if testing indicates
bacteria above acceptable levels).
3.
When the unit has not been in use for 4 or more
days AND the lines are left without water and
waterline treatment.
Best Practices
All waterlines should be purged at the beginning of
each workday by flushing them thoroughly with water
for at least 2 to 3 minutes. Before purging is carried
out, handpieces, air/water syringes and ultrasonic
scalers should be removed from the waterlines.
Handpieces using water coolant should be run for 20
to 30 seconds after patient care in order to purge all
potentially contaminated air and water. The handpiece
should then be removed and, following cleaning
and disinfection of clinical contact surfaces, another
sterilized handpiece is to be attached for use with the
next patient.
Always follow manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Complete dental unit waterline care requires not only
continuous waterline maintenance, but also shock
treatments and monitoring.
When replacing the water bottle: Try to avoid touching
the pick up tube. Always wipe the pickup tube with a
clean cloth before placing it back into the bottle.
Staff compliance of waterline protocol.
