types of interferences resulting in dental unit malfunctions.
In these cases, it is recommended to shut off power to the dental unit before using this equipment.
•Replacing the drills.
Operate the turbine release and contra angle devices only once the drill has come to a complete stop. Failure to do so will result in damaging
the locking system and drills couldbe released and cause injury. Exclusively use high-quality drills with a connection rod having a calibrated
diameter. To check the conditions of the locking system, make sure the drill is firmly secured to the instrument every day before starting
work. Locking system defects caused by misuse can be easily identified and are not covered by the warranty.
The drills and various instruments attached to the handpieces must comply with Biocompatibility Standard ISO 10993.
•Patients with active implantable medical devices.
When treating patients with implanted active devices, such as cardio-stimulators, hearing aids or other active devices, the possible effects
of the instruments used on the implanted device should be considered. Please refer to the technical-scientific literature available on this
subject and to the instructions for use of said devices.
•Use with external instruments.
If the dental unit is used for operations using separate standalone equipment such as mobile equipment for implants or endodontics, you
are recommended to power off the dental chair to avoid unwanted movements resulting from accidental start up of the movement controls.
•Do not forget to turn off the office water supply and main switch on the equipment before leaving the surgery.
•The equipment is not protected against liquid penetration IP X0.
•The equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a mixture of flammable anaesthetic gas with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
•This equipment must be stored properly so that it is kept in top working order at all times. The manufacturer shall not be held responsible
(under civil and criminal law) for misuse, carelessness or improper use of the equipment.
•The equipment may only be used by authorised and adequately trained staff (dentists and paramedics).
•The user must be present at all times when the equipment is turned on or ready for start-up. In particular, never leave the equipment
unattended in the presence of minors/incapacitated subjects or other unauthorised personnel in general.
Any accompanying person must stay outside the area in which the treatment is performed and in any case on responsibility of the operator.
The operating area refers to the space around the dental unit plus 1.5 meters.
•Quality of the water delivered by the dental unit.
The user is responsible for the quality of the water delivered by the dental unit and must adopt measures to maintain the water quality.
To ensure that delivered water is kept to quality standards, CEFLA s.c. recommends equipping the dental unit with an internal or external
disinfection system.
The dental unit, once installed, is exposed to possible contaminants coming from the water mains. So, to effectively overcome this problem,
it is recommended to install and operate the dental unit only at the moment in which the professional will use it daily and perform the
disinfecting procedures starting from the day in which it is installed by following the instructions set forth in the relevant sections.
If the dental unit is equipped with the air separation device from water mains (EN 1717), make sure that the expected continuous supply of
disinfectant is also carried out by ensuring that the relevant tank contains a suitable quantity of disinfectant (see relevant paragraph).
Contact your local dealer or Association of Dentists for more detailed information about national laws and requirements.

Check that the patient is sitting properly when moving the chair (see figure).
1.4. ELECTROMAGNETIC SAFETY
Electromagnetic immunity.
The device is intended for use in environments recognised as professional health facilities, as described in IEC 60601-1-2:2014. The device belongs to
CISPR 11 Class A Group 1 and complies with immunity test levels specified by IEC 60601-1-2:2014 for professional health facilities.
Before using any electronic device in health facilities, always check that it is compatible with the other equipment present.
If it is used in a residential environment (as specified in CISPR 11 class B) this equipment might not offer adequate protection to radio-frequency
communication services. The user might need to take mitigation measures, such as relocating or re-orienting the equipment.
For further information on immunity levels and characteristics of the electromagnetic environment, see the specific tables in paragraph TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS.
•Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided, because it could result in improper operation.
If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
•Use of accessories, transducersand cables other than those specified or provided bythe manufacturer of this equipment could result
in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.

1.5. CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Cleaning is the first step required for any disinfection process.
Physically scrubbing with detergents and surface-active substances and rinsing with water removes a considerable amount of micro-organisms. If the
surface is not first cleaned, the disinfection process cannot be successful.
If a surface cannot be adequately cleaned, it should be protected with barriers.
The outer parts of the equipment must be cleaned and disinfected using a product for hospital use with indications for HIV, HBV and tuberculocidal
(medium-level disinfectant) specific for small surfaces.
The various drugs and chemical products used in dental surgeriesmay damage the paintedsurfaces andthe plastic parts. Researches and tests performed
show that the surfaces cannot be fully protected against the harsh action of all products available on themarket.We therefore recommend protecting with
barriers whenever possible.
The harsh actions of chemical products also depend on the amount of time they are left on the surfaces.
It is therefore important not to leave the product on the surfaces longer than the time specified by the manufacturer.
It is recommended to use the specific medium-level disinfectant, STER 1 PLUS (CEFLA s.c.), which is compatible with:
•Coated surfaces and plastic parts.
•Upholstery.
The MEMORY FOAM upholstery will stain when splashed with mordant acid. Immediately rinse with plenty of water if acid spatters
on the upholstery.
•Uncoated metal surfaces.
If you do not use STER 1 PLUS, it is recommended to use products that contain at maximum:
•Ethanol. Concentration: maximum 30 g per 100 g of disinfectant.
•1-Propanol (n-propanol, propyl alcohol, n-propyl alcohol). Concentration: maximum 20 g per 100 g of disinfectant.
•Combination of ethanol and propanol. Concentration: the combination of the two should be maximum 40 g per 100 g of disinfectant.
•Do not use products containing isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol, iso-propanol).
•Do not use products containing sodium hypochlorite (bleach).
•Do not use cleaners containing phenols.
•Do not spray the selected product directly on the surfaces.
•All products must be used as directed by the manufacturer.
•Do not mix the STER 1 PLUS disinfectant with other products.
The products suggested are compatible with the materials of the equipment, however damages may occur to surfaces and materials
resulting from the use of different products, even if not included in the above list of excluded products.
Cleaning and disinfecting instructions.
Clean and disinfect with disposable non-abrasive paper (avoid using recycled paper) or sterile gauze.
Do not use sponges or, in any case, any material that can be reused.
•It is recommended to turn off the dental unit prior to cleaning and disinfecting the external parts.
•All material used to clean and disinfect must be thrown away upon completing the procedure.
The cleaning/disinfection/sterilization times of each element of the dental unit are listed in the booklet "PROTOCOL FOR HYGIENIC
MAINTENANCE OF THE DENTAL UNIT", also supplied with the unit.

EN
1.6. STERILISATION
Every instrument supplied is NOT STERILE and must be sterilised in steam autoclave (max. 135°C) before use, without performing any type of chemical
sterilization.
Sterilization must be performed using appropriate packaging materials, verified during the sterilization process validation.
It is recommended to sterilize in steam autoclave (moist heat) through a cycle with pre-vacuum (forced air removal).
Autoclaves must comply with and be approved and maintained in accordance with the requirements set forth by the Standards EN 13060 (or ANSI/AAMI
ST55), EN ISO 17665-1 and ANSI/AAMI ST79.
Below are the minimum recommended parameters for the sterilization of reusable medical devices, that have been approved in order to ensure a sterility
assurance level (SAL) equal to 10^-6:
•Cycle type: with pre-vacuum (Pre-vac).
•Method: "overkill" moist heat sterilization according to Standard ISO 17665-1.
•Minimum temperature: 134° C (273° F) for heat-resistant materials (instruments and metal handpieces, etc.);121°C (250°F) for thermolabile materials
(rubber items, etc.).
•Minimum exposure time (1):4 minutes (at 134°C), 20 minutes (at 120°C).
•Minimum drying time (2): defined to ensure compliance with the requirements of Standard EN 13060 (or ANSI/AAMI ST55).
(1) Exposure time: time during which the load and the entire chamber are kept at a temperature higher than the sterilization one.
(2) Drying time: time during which steam is removed from the chamber and the chamber pressure decreases to allow the condensate to evaporate from
the load through a prolonged emptying or thanks to the supply of hot air or other gases then removed.
The drying time varies according to the load configuration and the packaging type and material.
