Filling and fitting the bottle
The following irrigating liquids can be used, depending on the type of system and
treatment:
o
physiological saline solution
o
distilled water
o
sodium hypochlorite 0,5%
Caution - The irrigating liquid bottle is not suitable for storing medical solutions.
Danger - Due to sterilization and certain chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, the
irrigating liquid bottle will become brittle and cracked in time. You must check the
bottle and screw-cap regularly for signs of damage. A damaged bottle may burst due
to the pressure built up in it during treatment. The bottle must be replaced at the first
signs of cracking or brittleness.
The irrigating liquid bottle comprises two parts - the bottle and the screw-cap (11). The
screw-cap consists of three parts - the threaded ring, the bayonet face plate (12) and
the red washer (13). The bayonet face plate (12) retains the bottle in the holder. The
red washer (13) should be placed flat in the screw-cap (11). It seals the screw-cap
between the bottle and bayonet face plate.
To fill the bottle (10) with irrigating liquid, unscrew the cap. Before closing the bottle,
ensure that the red washer (13) has been placed flat in the screw-cap (11). Tighten
the cap, but without using excessive force.
Caution - When positioning and removing the bottle, the "Water" knob (5) must be at
its lowest setting and the handpiece hose in the handpiece holder.
Remove the bottle holder cap (17) on the unit. Check that the transparent silicone
washer (16) is in the bottle holder. Place the bottle (10), with its screw-cap (11)
downwards, in the bottle holder (14). The bayonet catch ensures that the bottle will not
drip and is airtight. Turn the bottle anti-clockwise until it locks into the bayonet face
plate (12) properly. Then turn the bottle (10) a quarter-turn clockwise without using
force. This opens the bayonet catches of the bayonet face plate. The bottle is now
ready for use.
To replace the bottle, please release the footswitch (18) and place the handpiece
hose (8) in the handpiece holder (9). Turn the bottle (10) a quarter turn anti-clockwise
and remove it from the bottle holder (14). Pressure builds up in the bottle (10) during
treatment. The pressure must be released as, otherwise, the bottle may be damaged.
To release the pressure, turn the screw-cap of the bottle (11) a quarter turn anti-
clockwise. The air will escape. Tighten the screw-cap again by turning it clockwise,
but without using excessive force.
