Page 16: Inserting The Fluid Container
WARNING: The above fluid container is filled with a 17% alcohol solution. This acts as a biostatic solution in order to reduce biological growth within the fluid system. NOTE: Not for human consumption. Should the AquaCare Twin unit be used with another solution obtained by the user, this must provide the required biostatic effect to ensure the machine’s fluid system cannot sustain biological growth. Failure to follow these guidelines could lead to user or patient contracting an infection or contagion. -
Page 17: Assembling The Handpiece
The tips and feedlines are for one time use only, a new tip and feedline should be used for each patient. To switch tips and feedlines remove the existing feedline tip and discard. Then follow the steps above. Purge the fluid through the system. See Maintenance: Purging the AquaCare Pg 33. AquaCare Twin: Installation... -

Page 22: Preparing The Aquacare Twin For First Use
Preparing the AquaCare Twin For First Use When training with the AquaCare Twin, powder could cause mess and damage to sensitive equipment if the user is not accustomed to operating the machine. For first use, either work near a sink or lay out a towel on the worksurface. Aim the handpiece nozzle into the inlet of your evacuation unit. -
Page 23: First Steps To Mastering The Aquacare
First Steps To Mastering The AquaCare Twin CLEANING TRAINING WITH GLASS SLIDES The glass microscope slides provided with your machine are similar in hardness to tooth enamel. Observing the effects of the settings on a glass slide gives a visual display of the speed of cleaning and polishing. -
Page 24: Suggested Treatment Methods
Dental Assistant to follow the nozzle with the aspirator. The AquaCare Twin operates with low noise, and has no vibration or heat at the cutting tip. Its ability to cut wet or dry gives it a high flexibility of use. -
Page 25: Preparations Before Treatment
7. IMPORTANT: To avoid unnecessary damage, when switching from Aluminium Oxide to Sodium Bicarbonate you must purge the powder. See MAINTENANCE: PURGING THE AQUACARE TWIN, Pg 33. 8. It is recommended that AquaCare Cleaning/Cutting Fluid (AquaSol) should be used in the AquaCare Fluid System. The 500ml bottle supplied with the machine should be discarded when empty and replaced. -
Page 26: Treatments
The most effective way to use fluid abrasion for this procedure is to use the handpiece of the AquaCare Twin as if it were a paintbrush, making light strokes across the surface of the tooth until the surface is clean. With experience, the dentist will be able to work with a high degree of control, the learning curve being similar to that when first using a high speed drill. -
Page 27: Fissure Caries
Media Flow - Slightly under midway position (right Media dial). The AquaCare Twin is of particular use for treating fissure caries. Hold the cutting nozzle about 2mm from the surface of the tooth and direct the particulate beam at the caries. Use it in short bursts, sweeping it along the vein until all the dark caries are removed and the sound tooth structure is revealed. -
Page 28: Cavity Preparation
This is because fluid abrasion is a technique designed to produce a very conservative cut with a working area of less than 2mm diameter. Finally, the surface of the cavity should then be finished using the AquaCare Twin to ensure a suitable key for the bonding agent. -
Page 29: Removal Of Composite Restorations
Media Flow - Slightly above midway position (right Media dial). The AquaCare Twin is very useful for the removal of old composite restorations. Hold the cutting nozzle at an angle of about 45 degrees to the surface of the old composite restoration and about 2mm or 3mm from the surface. -

Page 31: Sterilising The Handpiece
G. A suitable sterilisation pouch should be used to maintain sterility. The plastic parts should be replaced after 20 cycles. The handpiece should be replaced when cutting efficiency is impaired. This cleaning and sterilising procedure satisfies UK Health Technical Memorandum 2030 Washers-Disinfectors and UK Health Technical Memorandum 2010 Sterilisation. AquaCare Twin: Maintenance... -
Page 32: Handpiece Maintenance
Do not use a handpiece if the hole in the tip of the nozzle is worn to the outer edge or if the abrasive perforates the swan neck tube. The life expectancy in normal use is approx 6 months. Using the AquaCare Twin at its higher power and media setting will lead to higher wear rates on the handpiece. -
Page 33: Purging The Aquacare
Purging The AquaCare Twin PURGING THE FLUID When replacing the fluid bottle, the machine will need to be purged of any air that may have entered the system. A. Turn the media setting to minimum position. This will prevent unnecessary powder being expelled from the handpiece. -
Page 34: Cleaning The Aquacare
If there is any damage visible, do not use the AquaCare unit until it has been inspected by a Velopex Representative or Authorised Distributor. The rear water socket needs to be checked on a regular basis to ensure that there is no build-up of dust/powder or mould growth within the socket. -
Page 35: Troubleshooting
