Turn On/Turn Off the Air, Water, and Power Chairs with Delivery and Support Systems If you have a chair with an attached system, use the master toggle to turn on the power, water, and air. The master toggle is normally located on the delivery system, but may instead be located on the support center or floor box on chairs without a delivery system.

If there is no power to the system, verify that the power button on the chair is pressed in. This button must be on in order for the master toggle to control system power.

When to Turn Off the Power To save energy and reduce the chance of air leaks, press the power button to turn off power at the end of the day and before longer periods of non-use.

Touchpads and the Status Light The A-dec logo on the assistant’s touchpad illuminates when the system is on and ready for use. If the status light blinks, it may indicate that something is lodged under the chair. Remove the object to continue chair operation.

A-dec 551 Assistant's Instrumentation Instructions for Use Clean / Maintain

Clean / Maintain

Protect with Barriers A-dec recommends barrier protection for all applicable touch and transfer surfaces. Touch surfaces are areas that come into contact with hands and become potential cross-contamination points during dental procedures. Transfer surfaces are areas that come into contact with instruments and other inanimate objects.

In the USA, barriers must be produced under the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) as specified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA). For regions outside the USA, refer to the medical device regulations specific to your location.

IMPORTANT For recommendations on cleaning and chemical disinfection of touch and transfer surfaces (where barrier protection is not applicable or when barriers are compromised), please see the A-dec Equipment Asepsis Guide (p/n 85.0696.00).

Waterline Maintenance A-dec recommends that you perform a shock treatment on the dental unit waterlines before you use the system for the first time.

For on-going waterline maintenance, A-dec recommends a three-part protocol: continuous use of A-dec ICX® waterline treatment tablets, regular dental unit water quality monitoring, and shock treatment.

IMPORTANT For complete details on how to maintain good water quality in your system, see the Instructions for Use for ICX and your self-contained water bottle:

A-dec ICX.................................................... p/n 86.0613.00 A-dec Self-Contained Water System........... p/n 86.0609.00 Waterline Maintenance Guide.................. p/n 85.0983.00

NOTE For proper use and disposal of barriers, see the barrier manufacturer’s Instructions for Use.

Maintain Solids Collector The solids collector helps prevent solids from entering the central vacuum system. To ensure proper suction from the central vacuum and maintain proper treatment room asepsis, discard and replace the solids collector screen at least twice a week.

TIP To obtain replacement solids collector screens, contact your authorized A-dec dealer and reference Pinnacle p/n 5512.

DANGER Infectious waste may be present. Follow asepsis protocol to prevent cross contamination.

To replace the solids collector screen:

CAUTION Do not empty the screen into your cuspidor.

Doing so could plug the drain.

3. Remove the solids collector screen and discard according to your local regulations.

NOTE When you replace the solids collector cap, ensure that the keyed cutout faces the tubing (as shown above), or it will cut off the vacuum flow.

4. Insert a new screen in the solids collector and replace the cap.

A-dec HVE/Saliva Ejector Valve Body Assembly Asepsis

NOTE Vacuum lines should be flushed at the end of each day or more frequently according to your clinic’s protocols.

If you use barriers to protect the main body of the HVE and saliva ejector, replace the barriers after each patient. Clean and disinfect these instruments at the end of each day or after each patient if the barriers have been compromised. If you do not use barriers, or if you perform oral surgery, always clean and disinfect these instruments after each patient.

Cleaning and Disinfection To clean and disinfect the HVE and saliva ejector valve body assembly without disconnecting from the vacuum system:

CAUTION Clean the valve body assembly as soon as possible after treating each patient. Do not allow blood and debris to dry on instruments. If you cannot clean it immediately, keep the valve body assembly moist.

NOTE Use an intermediate-level EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant containing a tuberculocidal claim with one of the following compositions: high-dilution water-based phenolic formulation or quaternary ammonium compound with less than 25% isopropanol.

NOTE If using a spray solution, spray on a soft, low-lint wipe to apply solution to the valve body assembly.

1. Remove the vacuum tip from the HVE or saliva ejector valve body assembly. Discard disposable vacuum tips.

3. Disinfect the valve body assembly using a new disinfectant wipe or spray solution. Keep the valve body assembly wet according to the manufacturer’s recommended contact time.

that they rotate smoothly.

NOTE A-dec valve body assemblies are heat tolerant for sterilization. Users may sterilize at their discretion.

Routine Maintenance and Sterilization To routinely maintain and sterilize the HVE and saliva ejector when disconnected from the vacuum system (frequency determined by the user):

CAUTION Clean the valve body assembly as soon as possible after treating each patient. Do not allow blood and debris to dry on instruments. If you cannot clean it immediately, keep the valve body assembly moist.

1. Remove the valve body assembly from the vacuum line by pulling it away from the tubing at the tailpiece.

2. Disassemble the valve body by pushing the control valve out of the valve body.

3. Clean soiled valve body components using a soft, low-lint wipe.

4. Prepare a warm (32-43ºC [90-110ºF]) detergent solution (neutral pH enzymatic detergent or alkaline non-enzymatic detergent), according to the manufacturer’s recommended instructions.

5. Soak soiled valve body components in the prepared detergent solution for at least one minute.

○ Exposed surfaces of the valve body components and O-rings, while submerged, for a minimum of 30 seconds or until all visible soil has been removed.

○ Interior lumen of the valve body at least three times (in and out), clearing any visible soil from brush bristles.

8. Rinse the cleaned valve body components under flowing, warm (32–43ºC [90-110ºF]) potable water for a minimum of 30 seconds.

○ Dynamic air-removal sterilizers: 4 minutes at 132-135ºC (270-275ºF)

○ Gravity-displacement sterilizers: 30 minutes at 121-123ºC (250-254ºF)

11. Allow the load to dry for 30 minutes before removing it from the sterilizer. Ensure the valve body components are completely dry before proceeding.

CAUTION Use only silicone lubricant when lubricating the black O-rings in A-dec instruments. Petroleum-based products will cause permanent damage to the O-rings.

12. Prior to use, lubricate O-rings with A‑dec silicone lubricant, and reassemble the valve body assembly.
