CAUTION
Risk of short circuit and risk of light electric shocks
There is a risk of minor electrical shocks and damage to
electronics on the power unit if device components are
dismantled and cleaned whilst still electrically connected.
Disconnect the controller from the power supply by
E
removing the mains adapter from the socket before
any cleaning or maintenance tasks.
ATTENTION
Damage due to fluids
If cleaning products or disinfectant gets inside the hand-
piece, the controller or the power supply, this may cause
a short-circuit. In addition, this may also corrode the elec-
trical and mechanical components.
Never immerse the handpiece, the controller or the
E
power supply in cleaning product or disinfectant.
Never clean the handpiece, the controller or the
E
power supply in autoclaves or in an ultrasonic clean-
ing bath.
Consider material compatibilities when selecting
E
cleaning materials and disinfectants (see chapter
"7.2 Material compatibility" on page 45).
7.1 Routine maintenance
As part of the routine maintenance of the device, an inspec-
tion (safety inspection) is required every 24 months. Inspec-
tions may only be carried out by authorised dealers and are to
be performed according to manufacturer instructions. All ne-
cessary inspection steps for the inspection of the device are
stated in the inspection report from the scope of delivery.
Return the device to a specialist retailer for inspection in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer's instructions (safety
check), at regular 24 month intervals.
Before use, always ensure that the date for the next in-
E
spection on the test plate of the control unit has not
passed.
Do not use the device if the date on the test plate has
E
passed and commission a new inspection if necessary.

7.2 Material compatibility
To clean the device, use a mild soap detergent author-
E
ised in your country, or 50% diluted 1-propanol solution.
Use the following disinfectants to disinfect the device:
E
MANUFAC-
PRODUCT
TURER
Antiseptica
Kombi Liquid
Bode Chemie
Bacillol
Ecolab
Incidin Foam
Schülke & Mayr
Mikrozid Liquid
Based on the material compatibilities, you can assess which
cleaning products and disinfectants are suitable.
The device surfaces are resistant to:
Mild acids (e.g. boric acid ≤ 10%, acetic acid ≤ 10%, cit-
O
ric acid ≤ 10%)
Aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g. pentane, hexane)
O
Ethanol
O
Most inorganic salts and their aqueous solutions (e.g. so-
O
dium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium sulphate)
The device surfaces are not resistant to:
Strong acids (e.g. hydrochloric acid ≥ 20%, sulphuric
O
acid ≥ 50%, nitric acid ≥ 15%)
Oxidising acids (e.g. peracetic acids)
O
Lyes (e.g. caustic soda, ammonia and all compounds
O
with pH > 7)
Aromatic/halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. phenol, chlo-
O
roform)
Acetone and petrol
O
7.3 Disinfecting surfaces
Before and after each use:
Remove the safety cartridge from the handpiece and
E
pull the handpiece cable out of the unit.
Disinfect the handpiece cable, the handpiece and the
E
handpiece tray as described in chapter "5.5 Cleaning
and disinfecting the equipment" on page 40.
