Suction handpieces

The assistant element can be equipped with up to two spray aspirators
and one saliva ejector.
The tip attaches itself to the oral mucosa.
The patient's oral mucosa can be irritated by the vacuum.
➢ Make sure that you hold the suction tip in such a way that the
opening cannot accidentally attach to the oral mucosa. Dentsply
Sirona recommends using spray aspirator cannulas with
additional air intake, see"Spare parts, Consumables" [→ 324].
The suction handpieces can be closed using the slide. Suction can be
switched off with the 4-way foot switch.
Due to the lack of suction flow, fluid may run back out of the suction
handpieces and into the patient's mouth.
➢ Ensure that the slide is opened and there is suction flow before
holding an aspirator in the patient's mouth. Return the aspirator to
the holder with the slide open.
➢ Always remove the aspirator from the mouth before closing the
slide.
➢ Before suction flow can be switched off with the 4-way foot
switch, the spray aspirator and saliva ejector must be removed
from the patient's mouth.
NOTE
Suction removal of metal oxides from blasting devices
Observe the safety information on the "Vacuum system" [→ 18].
Tip: The factory-set suction power can be adjusted in the water unit by a
service engineer.
Spray aspirator
You can angle the suction handpiece by turning it.
To prevent completely interrupting the suction flow when the cannulae
attach to the oral mucosa, spray aspirator cannulae with lateral air
intakes A should be used. This prevents backflow from the hose into the
oral cavity if the cannulae attach themselves.
A
The suction flow can be stopped and regulated using the slide B.
The thick suction hose can be used for surgical suction. To insert a
surgical cannula, please attach the adapter supplied.
Saliva ejector
A curved tip that can be placed in the corner of the mouth is provided
for saliva ejection.
The suction flow can be stopped and regulated using the A rotating
knob.
