Failure to follow these guidelines could lead to user or patient contracting an infection or contagion. -

Dental Assistant to follow the nozzle with the aspirator. The AquaCare 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
PURGING THE AQUACARE SINGLE, 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. The fluid can be used with all recommended treatments using this instrument. -
Page 26: Treatments
The most effective way to use fluid abrasion for this procedure is to use the handpiece of the AquaCare 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. The AquaCare 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
Media Flow - Slightly above midway position. The procedure for the preparation of a cavity with the AquaCare will depend on the size of the cavity and the extent and type of caries. For small cavities, the cutting nozzle should be held at an angle of between 35 degrees and 45 degrees to the surface being abraded, and about 2mm or 3mm from the surface. -
Page 29: Removal Of Composite Restorations
Media Flow - Slightly above midway position. The AquaCare 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. -

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 at its higher power and media setting will lead to higher wear rates on the handpiece. -
Page 33: Purging The Aquacare
Purging The AquaCare 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. -
