If you are using disposable HVE tips, be sure to replace them with new tips between patients. The table shows the steps for sterilizing the HVE tip. ‘Step | Action 1__[ Remove the HIVE tip from the HVE valve body. | Clean and rinse the FIVE tip using a mild detergent and water, then allow the tip to completely dry. 3 | Sterilize the FIVE tip using one of the recommended methods.

Both arms are equipped with a touchpad and holder assemblies with individual holders for added positioning, Short Assistant's Arm ‘The short assistant’s arm positions near the cuspidor or along side the chair back. It adjusts in a forward, backward, and side-to-side movement for easy positioning and access to the instrumentation. A pivot joint located close to the support link, allows the entire arm to “tip-up,” if forced, to minimize damage to the equipment if lowered on to an object. ‘The arm segment, attached to the touchpad, gives way downward if forced beyond its normal range of operation. Simply lift the arm back into place to reset and continue operation. Long Assistant's Arm The long assistant’s arm has the same features as the short arm, and can be positioned closer to the headrest. In addition, this arm accommodates variable height adjustment for multiple users. Holder Assembly ‘The holder assembly rotates completely for positioning to suit most procedures (see Figure 5). NOTE: If you have electric holders, the holder assembly can be rotated 340 degrees only. Page 6 \ Figure 5 Rotation of the Holder Assembly. '86,0603.00 A-dec 500 Assistant's Instrumentation Positioning Adjustable Holders The independently adjustable holders can be pivoted 340 degrees to allow customized positioning for each instrument on the holder assembly, To rotate each holder, pull holder slightly away from the adjacent one, twist to the desired position and release (see Figure 6). Dual Holder Assemblies ‘The dual holder assemblies option gives the dental team the ability to offset or alternate the syringe, { saliva ejector, and HVE placement. The additional \ \ holder assembly helps the assistant to comfortably Figure 6 Positioning Individual Holders. differentiate and locate the instruments during the dental procedure. Electric Holders ‘The optional electric holders provide vacuum on/off switching for users whose vacuum system requires this functionality. When the HIVE or saliva ejector is lifted from the holder, the vacuum pump will activate automatically. When placed back into the holder, the vacuum will be turned off. Assistant's Touchpad A standard touchpad serves as a convenient handle rotating 340 degrees for easy access and visibility The touchpad also provides a one touch surface for controlling the chair, dental light, and cuspidor/ Acdec relay module (al, a2), Left/Right Conversion Positioning the assistant’s instrumentation to the opposite side of the chair can be done in a minimal amount of time. Loosen the support link locking screw located under the swivel brake handle, unsnap the support link back cover, and reposition the arm to the opposite side. Once the instruments are in place, reattach the support link cover, and tighten the support link locking screw finger tight. 03.00 avdec race?Touchpad A-dec 500 Assistant's Instrumentation How to Operate Your Standard Touchpad Manual Chair Controls ‘The Base function controls chair lift, or vertical movement.

A second press on the button returns the chair back to the operating position. This position can be changed to a programmable position like 1 and 2. Cup Fill The cup fill function allows water to flow from the cuspidor into a cup. Tap the cup fill button for a timed operation, or hold for a manual operation. Bowl Rinse ‘The bowl rinse function provides rinse water for the cuspidor bowl. Tap the bowl rinse button for a timed operation, or hold for a manual operation. If the bow! rinse button is pressed twice in less than two seconds, it will be set into a continuous operation. To stop the continuous bowl rinse operation, press the bowl rinse button once. A1/A2 Buttons ‘The al /a2 buttons can be used to operate an A-dec relay module. For more details on the A-dec relay module, contact your authorized A-dec dealer. NOTE: You can only operate an A-dec relay module with a standard touchpad if a cuspidor is not installed. You must upgrade to a deluxe touchpad, if you wish to operate an A-dec relay module and a cuspidor. ei0or3.00 avdee rageTouchpad A-dec 500 Assistant's Instrumentation Dental Light ‘The dental light button on the touchpad works as a three-way switch allowing you to turn the dental light on or off from either the touchpad or the dental light. ‘A quick press on the button allows you to toggle between three intensity settings, depending on the location of the dental light’ intensity switch. The dental light can be toggled between composite and medium intensity settings or composite and high intensity settings. When the dental light is in the composite setting, the indicator light next to the button flashes. ‘The dental light also has an auto on/off feature, When using a programmed chair position (1 or 2), the dental light will come on when the chair reaches an operating position. The dental light will tum off automatically when Position 0 (entry /exit) or Position 3 (x-ray /rinse) is pressed. NOTE: If Position 3 has been reprogrammed to a programmable position, the dental light will not turn on/off when Position 3 is pressed. How to Disable Factory Preset Functions There are two factory preset options that can be turned on or off from the standard touchpad. Dental Light (auto on/off) Auto On/Off setting can be turned off by pressing and holding the Program button and then the Light button together for three seconds. One beep will confirm that the factory preset has been turned off. To return to the factory preset repeat steps. Three beeps will confirm that the auto on/off function is on. Position 3 (x-ray/rinse) Position 3 can be toggled from the x-ray /rinse position to a programmed position. To program Position 3, press Program and then press and hold Position 3 together for three seconds, One beep confirms that the position can be programmed. To return to the x-ray /rinse position, repeat steps. Three beeps confirms that the x-ray//rinse function is on, Page 10 afdec 86,0603.00 A-dec 500 Assistant's Instrumentation Care Care Instructions Touch and Transfer Surfaces Touch surfaces are those areas that require contact and become potential cross-contamination points during dental procedures. The minimum touch surface locations on A-dec 500 products include the touchpad(s), control head brake handles, and dental light handles and switches. Transfer surfaces are those surfaces that are contaminated by contact with instruments and other inanimate objects. The primary transfer surfaces on the A~dec 500 product include traditional holders, Continental® instrument pad, and trays. A-dec recommends barrier protection for all applicable touch and transfer surfaces. When used, barriers must be FDA market-cleared barrier plastic. Cover-All™ barrier film or any other FDA market-cleared barrier film is suitable for this application. Refer to your national regulatory authorities for barrier recommendations specific to your locale, Barrier plastics should be removed and discarded after each patient treatment. For touch and transfer surfaces where barrier protection is not applicable or when barriers are compromised, please refer to A-dec’s Equipment Asepsis Owner's Guide (P/N 85.06%6.00) for recommendations on proper cleaning and chemical disinf Heat Sterilization High volume evacuators (HVE), saliva ejectors (SE), and air/water syringes should be steam autoclaved between patients. The following protocol should be followed: HVE - steam autoclave at 134°C (273°F), 6 minutes holding time SE - steam autoclave at 134°C (273°F), 6 minutes holding time Air/Water Syringe - steam autoclave at 134°C (273°), 4 minutes holding time Each handheld device with air and water lines should be discharged for 20-30 seconds between each patient to reduce the chance of cross-contamination as a result of potential bio-burden retraction. Specifications Minimum air, water and vacuum service requirements for proper unit operation: ‘Air: 2.50 cfm (70.80 1/min) at 80 psi (551 KPa). Water: 1.50 gpm (5.68 1/min) at 40 psi (276 kPa), ‘Vacuum: 12 cfm (339.84 I/min) at 8 inches of mercury (27 KPa).
