of bacterial coatings draw. 31, responsible for sudden stops and for progressive
reduction of the aspiration power. During the work solid particles are aspirated together
with liquids: they must be trapped by filters; no aspiration plant can run properly and for
a long time without a suitable filtering of the aspirated debris. In time large debris impair
the running of the draining valves and of diaphragms closing and opening the aspiration
pipes. Lacking the filter on the tip support, draw. 16, a self-contained filter, draw. 17,
must be placed between the tip support and the Mini-Separator, draw. 30a det. I. In a
semi-dry system the self-contained filter, draw. 17 must be placed between the tip
support and the Electropneumatic valve C, draw. 29 det. I. The amalgam separators
(Hydroseparator or Hydrocyclone) which can receive the liquids drained by the
spittoon, draw. 14b, are already fitted with filter, draw. 18.

Ordinary maintenance operations

(draw. 17-19-20-21-22-32 pag. 17-18-86)
First of all, as described in the previous paragraph, before starting any maintenance
operations wear disposable gloves, mask, goggles and overall and clean-sanitize the
plant with Puli-Jet, draw. 19. Use of detergents and disinfectants too strong or someway
non-compatible with materials (metal, rubber and plastic) of the aspirator is strongly advised
against. The Manufacturer disclaims all responsibility and will not consider under guarantee
any appliance or plant treated with unsuitable products, even if such products are described
as specially made for surgical aspirators. Secondly, filters are to be replaced; before
reaching for the tip support filters, switch on the aspiration for some seconds,
aspirating air only: it will prevent any liquid spill.
While aspiration is still on, take off plugs (draw. 16-20) and replace the filters; the recovered
filters are surely contaminating and before being reused, they must be kept immersed in a
high concentration sanitizing or disinfecting solution for 6/8 hours. Any amalgam trapped
in the filter shall be recovered and put into the disposable amalgam container of the
amalgam separator, following the directions jointed to the separator itself. External hoses
and tip supports can be cleaned and sanitized draw. 32. Terminals (that can be detached
from hoses by twisting and pulling them, draw. 21) and tips are instruments-
washerproof and autoclavable. Repeated sterilizations speed up, of course, the ageing
process, but the handiness of replacement and price have been studied and calculated for
frequent sterilizations.
Also replacement of external hoses, subject to ageing due to the liquids flow, has been
studied to be easy and handy, draw. 22; before detaching the external hoses from
manifold, switch on the aspiration without aspirating liquids, lift upwards the loose
end of the hose to ease the aspiration of the liquid left inside and to prevent any spill.
