1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Information
1.1.1 Purpose of the manual
This manual describes the use of the AIREL-QUETIN K2 dentistry equipment in its three versions:
K2 NEO, K2 EVO.2 and K2 one.
• Read this manual carefully before using the K2 equipment. It has been written to
allow you to use your equipment in the best conditions.
• The numerical values given in this manual and displayed as an example should not
be considered as recommended values, except when specified in the text.
• The figures are intended to illustrate the different functions of the K2. They are not
binding. They do not claim to represent all the equipment variants.
1.1.2 À About K2 equipment
The K2 equipment is a dental chair allowing the operator to detect and treat dental problems
and/or carry out preventive actions.
It must be used by dental professionals. The operator (practitioner) must have a degree in dental
surgery.
Patient population: from 4 years old.
1.2 Classification/Regulations
The AIREL-QUETIN K2 dental equipment complies with the following standards:
EEC Directive 93/42, Class IIa medical device
(2195 - EC marking)
Standard IEC 60950-1 / 60417-
5019 Class I Electrical Protection. Functional insulation
with an earth terminal.
Standard IEC 60601-1 Type B
Standard IEC 60529 Protection against water spray IPX1
Standard EN 60601-1-2 Does not emit electromagnetic interference and
has adequate immunity
Standard IEC 80601-2-60 Special requirements for basic safety and
essential performance of dental equipment

8
1.3 Safety instructions
To avoid all risks of electrical shock, it is imperative that the device is connected to an electrical
supply network equipped with an earth.
Any electrical work on the device must be carried out by our after-sales department or by
qualified personnel.
AIREL-QUETIN provides this staff with any technical information needed for troubleshooting.
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
- Do not use in the presence of an inflammable anaesthetic mixture.
- The connection of the fluids must comply with the regulations in force.
ISO 7494-2 Standard for dentistry - Dental units - Part 2: Water and air supply.
- Intermittent service.
- Turn off the PE8 unit every night after use.
- Applied parts: Saddlery, casing (protective cover)
- This device is intended for use by professionals only.
- Any modification of the EM device is prohibited.
- According to the requirements of standard NF EN 60601-1, the device may cause radio
interference and / or disturb the operation of a device located nearby. The use of accessories,
transducers and cables other than those specified, with the exception of equipment sold by the
manufacturer as a replacement for internal components, may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity. of the device.
- The device must not be used alongside other devices or stacked with them.
If this condition can not be met, test the correct operation in this configuration.
- Portable and mobile RF communications devices must not be used within 30cm of the device.
Otherwise, degradation of the performance of the equipment could be felt.
WARNING ON NOISEY FROM SUCTION TUBE
The existing magnet inside of the suction flexible may interfere with pacemakers and ICD.
Therefore the practitioner shall ensure that the suction tube remains at opposite side of the
area of the device to avoid any risk during curing.
Down below are all the precautions of use :
• Ensure that the magnetic bit of the suction tube remains away from the pacemaker
• In case of audible signal coming from the pacemaker, please move promptly the
magnetic bit of the suction tube until the audible signal stops. The potential risk is so avoided.
1.4 Guarantee

7494-1 standard before being delivered to our customers.
Any new K2 appliance is guaranteed against any defective parts for 2 years from the day of
delivery.
The relative information and specific to each device are listed on the serial label next to the
ignition button.
The guarantee includes the exchange or repair of the defective part, according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
The instruments (turbine, micromotor, plaque remover, scalpel, curing light, etc...) are subject
to special guarantee conditions (guarantee period and conditions of use) which are those of the
respective manufacturers.
Operation is only guaranteed for instruments provided by AIREL-QUETIN or for compatible
instruments.

1.5 IGN®-Calbénium® protocol
The K2 dental unit incorporates an IGN®hygiene system for spray water treatment according to
EEC directive 93/42 - Class IIb medical equipment.
An IGN®protocol ensuring the traceability and the conformity of operation according to standard
NF EN 1717 has been implemented in order to reach the "Zero permanent germ" objective.
The operations of this protocol are detailed in chap 4, page 59 with a maintenance guide.
IGN® and CALBENIUM® are a fundamental pairing for the hygiene of your K2 unit:
- No product other than CALBENIUM® should be used in the IGN® system. A study has been
carried out on CALBENIUM® to ensure that it is compatible with all dental units and does not
cause any damage to internal components.
- The use of inappropriate products may result in oxidation of the components and
devulcanization of the conducting membranes. If such defects are noted, AIREL-QUETIN
reserves the right to remove the registration of use related to the IGN® protocol.

3. USE
The K2 unit is delivered with factory settings that were used to check that it is working
properly.
The practitioner will have to modify these pre-settings in order to adapt the chair and the unit
to their setting and working methods.
3.1 Power on/off
On-off button
The console screen turns on automatically when the unit is switched on.
- Never switch the K2 unit on/off using your foot. Press the button using your hand.
- Switch off the K2 unit every night after use by turning the button to Off.
3.2 Chair safety
In the event of the footrest movement being blocked, the safety mechanism causes the chair to
rise to its highest position.
When the basin is in the open position, the movements of the chair are limited to avoid any
impact on the patient.

19
3.3 Adjusting the headrest
The tilt, rotation and position settings of the headrest are carried out manually. The K2 headrest
comes in two versions: mechanically locked or pneumatically assisted.
3.3.1 Mechanical locking
Steps Action Illustration
1 Loosen the locking knob.
2 Manually adjust the triple articulation of the headrest.
3 Tighten the knob.
4 The bar can slide without being unlocked.
3.3.2 Pneumatic assistance
Steps Action Illustration
1 Press the setting button.
2 Manually adjust the triple articulation of the headrest, sliding in
the axis and orientation.
3 Release the button while holding the headrest for 1 to 2 seconds.
3.4 Footrest can be disengaged (option on K2 one)
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Lift the footrest of the K2 to
disengage the mechanism.
The height to raise it to depends
on the starting point of the
footrest.
Lifting it a few centimetre is
enough to disengage it.
