Rinse water paths

Microorganisms can grow in the water paths of the treatment center.
Use a large amount of water for rinsing the lines prior to starting patient
appointments.
➢ Flush the cuspidor for at least one minute.
5.3.2

Purge the water paths (purge function)

To reduce the amount of germs, the water paths of the water-carrying
instruments of the dentist element and the Standard or Sprayvit E 3-way
syringe of the dentist or assistant element can be purged with water.
For the purge function, individual instruments are removed from the
holder and held over the cuspidor for purging. If your treatment center is
not equipped with a cuspidor, hold the instruments over a watertight
container with sufficient capacity. The water paths of all removed
instruments are then purged consecutively. Press the water key of the
3-way syringe for purging.
Purge the water paths of all instruments:
● Before starting work
● the used instruments after each patient
● At the end of the work day
With the Intego Pro treatment center, it is also possible to automatically
purge the water paths, see "Automatically purge water paths (autopurge
function)". [→ 232].
With the Intego treatment center, the purge and sanitize function is
optional. If this function is not available, purging of the water paths must
be carried out manually, see "Purging water paths manually" [→ 240].
Preparation
The following preparations should be made before you begin to purge
the water paths.
1. If your treatment center is equipped with a cuspidor, activate the
cuspidor flushing for at least one minute. This flushes the water
paths.
