10.2 Weekly Maintenance

It is strongly recommended that this system be disinfected by
chemically flushing the waterlines with a 1:10 Sodium Hypochlorite
solution (NaOCl) at the end of each week. This can be accomplished
by connecting this device to the Cavitron DualSelect Dispensing
System or a number of other devices available from your local
distributors. Where this device is connected to the Cavitron
DualSelect Dispensing System, please follow the DualSelect system's
Directions for Use manual. If connected to another device, please
follow those directions for use, keeping in mind that a chemical flush
should be performed at maximum water flow for at least 30 seconds.
The system should be left undisturbed for 10 minutes but no more
than 30 minutes to allow the sodium hypochlorite solution to soak in
the lines. As a suggestion, it is recommended that a sign be placed
on the system stating that the SYSTEM IS BEING DISINFECTED WITH
A STRONG DISINFECTANT AND SHOULD NOT BE USED. When ready,
flush system with clean water for at least 30 seconds or until sodium
hypochlorite odor disappears. ALL CHEMICALS MUST BE FLUSHED
FROM THE SYSTEM BEFORE IT IS READY FOR PATIENT USE.

10.3 Monthly Maintenance

WATER LINE FILTER MAINTENANCE:

When the water line filter becomes discolored or the filter icon
illuminates, the filter should be replaced to prevent reduced water
flow to the Cavitron Touch system.
1. Verify that the system is turned OFF.
2. Disconnect the water supply hose from the dental office
water supply. If a quick disconnect connector is attached to
the end of the hose, relieve the water pressure by pressing the
tip of the connector in an appropriate container and drain the
water.
3. Grasp the fittings on either side of the filter disk and twist
counterclockwise. Remove the filter section from either side
of the water hose.
4. Install the replacement filter onto the water hose fittings. The
filter should be positioned to match up with the correct hose
fitting.
5. Hand tighten one hose fitting onto filter in a clockwise
direction. Tighten second hose onto filter in clockwise
direction. Reconnect the water supply line, operate unit to
bleed the air and test for leaks.
6. Turn the unit back ON, press and hold filter icon until it
disappears to reset filter maintenance icon.
