If your dental unit is equipped with a Dürr amalgam separator or Dürr VS/A
separator, you must clean the suction system with Planmeca approved
suction disinfectant once a week.
1. Mix 5 ml of Planmeca approved suction disinfectant with 250 ml water
and stir well.
2. Open the bowl valve to remove any excess water by pressing the
Program button for about 5 seconds until the suction starts. The valve
will close automatically after about 15 seconds.
3. When the valve has closed, pour the suction disinfectant solution into the
bowl.
4. Let the solution affect overnight. Rinse the suction system the next
morning with 2 l of water.
5. Rinse the bowl with water the next morning by pressing Bowl rinse.
The following explains how the suction handpieces can be disassembled for
cleaning.
NOTE
We recommend that the suction handpieces be replaced once a year.
Unscrew the handpiece from the suction tube for cleaning.
