Place the AirFlow handpiece barrel (19) and the AirFlow nozzle (20) in the holder in the
Steribox (21) supplied.
The AirFlow handpiece barrel (19) and the AirFlow nozzle (20) can be sterilized in the
EMS Steribox (21) supplied. Place the EMS Steribox (21) in an autoclave and sterilize
at a maximum temperature of 135°C for a minimum of 3 minutes.
Caution - After sterilizing the AirFlow handpiece barrel (19) and the AirFlow nozzle
(20), blast its air channels with the air syringe of your dental unit to dry them. This
prevents the powder blocking the air channels.
Before remounting the AirFlow handpiece, check the O-rings (37, 38) of the bayonet
catches. If the O-rings (37, 38) are damaged or worn, air or water may leak from the
coupling. Should this be the case, replace both O-rings (37, 38).
Regular care and maintenance
Disinfect the AirFlow S2 housing (1) with standard disinfectant. Do not use scouring
powder as it will scratch the surface of the housing.
Danger - Please note that the housing of the AirFlow S2 only protects against splashed
water and cannot be sterilized.
Should the air channels of the AirFlow handpiece barrel (19) and the AirFlow nozzles
(20) be blocked with powder particles, clean them with compressed air or carefully
prod through them with the correct cleaning rod (33, 34). Do not use excessive force
as the cleaning rod (33, 34) breaks easily. Only use a cleaning rod, do not use wire or
other objects.
Use the long cleaning rod (34) to clean the AirFlow handpiece barrel (19). Hold the
AirFlow handpiece barrel (19) in your hand so that the openings of the powder
channels are exposed. Pass the cleaning rod (34) through both openings of the
AirFlow handpiece barrel (19) - carefully rotating the rod in both directions as it passes
through. Do not use excessive force as the cleaning rod breaks easily. Repeat the
procedure until the blockage has been removed completely.
Then use the short cleaning rod (33) to clean the AirFlow nozzle (20). Pass the
cleaning rod (33) through both openings of the AirFlow nozzle (20) - carefully rotating
the rod in both directions as it passes through. Proceed carefully and do not use
excessive force as the thin tip of the cleaning rod breaks easily.
Particularly tenacious lumps can be boiled out of the AirFlow handpiece barrel (19) and
the AirFlow nozzle (20). This loosens the caked powder particles so that they are
easier to remove with compressed air or a cleaning rod (33, 34).
