WATERLINE DISINFECTION RECOMMENDATIONS
The bottle mounted under the rear of the power channel is a 2.0L (2000ml) dedicated water bottle. Its use is selected via the bottle position on the bottle/line switch mounted on the power channel face. The line position on the bottle/line switch selects water from your piped water supply.
Doctors using dedicated water systems commonly run distilled water or treated bottled water (for
example BluTab; EPA registration # 84020-1) through this system each time the bottle is filled. The BluTab is added to an empty self-contained water bottle before each filling.
The waterlines do not need to be flushed with the BluTab disinfectant. The BluTab is specially
formulated to be continuously present in the waterlines and to keep lines clean. Weekly shock treatments are not necessary. Purging water lines at the end of a work day is not necessary.Check water lines periodically for deterioration and replace if necessary prior to patient use. If water line tubing needs to be replaced, please contact Ergonomic Products.
Note: Ergonomic Products, Inc. does not assume responsibility for your waterline treatment decisions. Please consult with the ADA and CDC recommendations. CDC Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities, 2008; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental Health-Care Settings— 2003.

8 – POWER CHANNEL MAINTENANCE CONT’D
CAUTION: Always wear gloves when servicing dental workstations. System description Your workstation is equipped with a 5/8” main vacuum tube connecting to a 3-port vacuum canister (2 HVE and 1 Saliva Ejector) mounted in the forward part of the power channel, with the lid protruding through the cover for easy access. Units come standard with one saliva ejector valve and one HVE valve. Both valves are a quick-disconnect and autoclaveble type. Tips for both valves are industry standard and you can order these from your dental equipment supplier. System maintenance Vacuum Canister Check the vacuum canister and screen (part #409-155) weekly. Replace them as soon as lower than normal vacuum is detected. To facilitate cap removal, turn off the vacuum pump before servicing. Call Ergonomic Products, Inc. at 1-800-ERGO-4-US to order new components. Valves Valves can be autoclaved after each use or wiped down using any of the commercially available disinfecting wipes. Daily, draw clean water through the valves while working the valve handle to help prevent the buildup of debris. Brush the internal bore once a week with a stiff brush of proper size. Disassemble valves periodically (2-3 months) to clean internal parts and lubricate the O-rings.
A combination muffler and oil collector quiets the spent drive and traps excess handpiece lubrication. Unscrew the lower portion of the canister to access the piece of gauze that acts as an absorbing pad. Check the gauze every couple of weeks and replace it as necessary.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
CLEANING
Ergonomic products • 198 Airport Rd • Fall River, MA 02720 • 866-374-6487 D1E manual
9 – CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
After treatment of each patient and at the completion of daily work activities, countertops and dental unit surfaces that might have been contaminated with patient material or when the surface is contaminated with biological material must be cleaned with disposable toweling (for example PDI Super Sani Cloth) and water as necessary. Then disinfect surfaces with a suitable chemical germicide (for example DisCide Ultra Disinfectant Spray). The CDC recommends using a chemical germicide registered with the EPA as a “hospital disinfectant” and labeled for “tuberculocidal” (i.e., mycrobactericidal) activity to disinfect surfaces that have been soiled with patient material. These intermediate-level disinfectants include phenolics, iodophors, and chlorine-containing compounds. Because mycobacteria are among the most resistant groups of microorganisms, germicides effective against mycobacteria should be effective against many other bacterial and viral pathogens. Low-level disinfectants—EPA-registered “hospital disinfectants” that are not labeled for "tuberculocidal" activity (e.g., quaternary ammonium compounds)—are appropriate for general housekeeping purposes such as cleaning floors, walls, and other housekeeping surfaces. The CDC does not recommend using intermediate- and low-level disinfectants to reprocess critical or semicritical dental instruments. Note: CDC Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities, 2008; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental Health-Care Settings— 2003. MMWR 2003;52 (No. RR-17): [inclusive page numbers]. FDA Processing/Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling DRAFT GUIDANCE May 2, 2011.
Metal Components Use mild detergent and water or any of the commercially available sprays, such as 409, Fantastic, or others, with a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES as these will permanently scratch the finish. Plastic, Rubber and Painted Surfaces Use mild detergent and water or any of the commercially available sprays, such as 409, Fantastic, or others, with a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES as these will permanently scratch the finish. Corian Your Corian surfaces are delivered with a matte/satin finish and any of the above cleaners are acceptable. Minor surface blemishes can be brought back to a like-new finish with the use of a mild abrasive cleaner such as Comet on their own or in conjunction with a green or white Scotch-Brite Pad. Dried composites can be scraped off using a single-edged razor blade or equivalent, being cautious not to dig into the surface. If the surface becomes too scarred to be renewed with the above procedures, a resurfacing can be done. Please contact us or any Corian-certified installer for the correct procedure. The FDA recommends that Items contaminated with blood or body fluids, which might contain bloodborne pathogens, must receive intermediate level disinfection with a product having an EPA-registered claim for activity against hepatitis B after cleaning.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTING CONT’D
Instruments and Workstation Infection Control in the dental environment is always a high priority for both the user and the patient. It is the responsibility of the practitioner to be familiar with best practices and protocols for disinfecting of instruments and surfaces as recommended by CDC, ADA and OSHA. In addition to the General Guidelines, the CDC recommends general cleaning and disinfecting of clinical contact surfaces, dental unit surfaces, and countertops at the end of daily work activities. Cleaning and disinfection are required if surfaces have become contaminated since their last cleaning. To facilitate daily cleaning, keep treatment areas free of unnecessary equipment and supplies. To disinfect Corian surfaces, use a suitable chemical germicide (for example DisCide Ultra Disinfectant Spray). Dental devices that are connected to the dental water system and that enter the patient’s mouth (for example; handpieces, ultrasonic scalers, or air/water syringes) must be operated to discharge water and air for a minimum of 20–30 seconds after each patient. Most of the surfaces are compatible with commonly used disinfectants, however if discoloration is noticed (especially hoses) it would be advisable to change cleaning products. If using a spray, use sparingly around electrical devices and components.
