Sterilizing the

HVE Tip

adec'

It is recommended that the stainless steel tips used on the HVE be heat

sterilized between patients using either of the following methods: steam

autoclave, or chemical vapor (275°F [135°C] maximum temperature; four

minutes at temperature). If you are using disposable HVE tips, be sure to

replace them with new tips between patients.

The table shows the steps for sterilizing the HVE tip.

Step | Action

1 | Remove the HVE tip from the HVE valve body.

Clean and rinse the HVE tip using a mild detergent and water,

then allow the tip to completely dry.

3 | Sterilize the HVE tip using one of the recommended methods.

NOTE:

A-dec HVE Cannula Opening:

Standard A-dec HVE — 0.435" + 0.006" (11.05 + 0.15 mm).

A-dec 15 mm HVE - .592" (14.8 mm).

If not using A-dec HVE tips, select a tip that is compatible with

your HVE cannula opening.

A-dec Saliva Ejector Cannula Opening:

A-dec Saliva Ejector — 0.265 + 0.006" (6.73 + 0.15 mm)

Select a tip that is compatible with your saliva ejector

cannula opening.

Solids Collector

The solids collector aids in preventing solids from entering the central

vacuum system. At least twice a week, discard and replace the solids

collector screen. This is necessary to ensure proper suction from the central

vacuum, and to maintain proper treatment room asepsis.

The table shows the steps for sterilizing the HVE tip.

Step | Action

Turn off vacuum, if vacuum is on, open the HVE control valve to

，

facilitate removal of the solids collector cap.

Remove the screen from the collector. The solids collector screen is

disposable. Discard following your local regulations.

CAUTION: Do not empty the screen into your cuspidor. Doing so

could plug the drain.

3 | Insert a new screen in the solids collector and install the cap.

Limit Switch

If activated, the support link limit switch will interrupt the base down

motion and reverse the chair to prevent damage.
