AquaCare: Introduction
Only qualied dentists and dental hygienists should use the AquaCare on patients.
Before using the AquaCare:
a) Read the manual thoroughly.
b) Make sure the operator of the unit, any assistants, the patient, and anyone
else in the room wear eye protection to BS EN 166 IF 4/5.
c) Make sure the operator of the unit, any assistants, and anyone else in the
room, except the patient, wear respiratory masks to BS EN 149 FF2S.
d) Make sure you are in full control of the handpiece, and are aiming the
handpiece nozzle in a safe direction.
e) Make sure you have selected the correct powder for the treatment you are
performing. Incorrect selection of powder can cause hard tissue damage.
f) Use a high speed intra-oral aspirator during treatment. An extra-oral
aspirator can be used in addition if desired.
e) Ensure machine has adjusted to room temperature (>15°C) before
operating if coming from a cold environment.
ATTENTION- Please read all the following important warnings
before using the AquaCare:
Safety Warnings
Patients should consult their physician before having treatment with the
AquaCare if they have:
 a)Respiratorydiculties
b) Asthma
c) Blocked nasal passages
d) A cold
e) A restricted sodium diet
f) Any other medical problem preventing breathing through the nose.
The disposable feedline and tip should be changed for each patient treatment to
prevent cross-contamination. Ensure that new tips are tted rmly onto the nozzle.
Used feedlines and tips should be discarded. Attempts to reuse the AquaCare
feedlines and tips, or to use them with any other micro abrasion machines could be
hazardous.
ALWAYS AIM TOWARDS THE INCISAL EDGE OF THE TOOTH.
The AquaCare Twin may cause soft tissue damage, including inammation,
bleeding, and creation of an air embolism. The AquaCare Twin may cause hard
tissue damage, including etching or abrasion of enamel or exposed root surfaces
of the teeth.

6AquaCare: Introduction
Safety Warnings
In most cases the plastic tip should last long enough for one treatment. However,
during prolonged treatments the tip may need replacing to prevent erratic ow of
uid.Do not use the handpiece if the hole in the tip of the nozzle has worn to the
outer edge, or if the swan neck tube has been perforated.
Sterilise the handpiece before rst use and between each patient treatment.
Fluidissuppliedtotheunitviatheuidbottle.The AquaCare air inlet should
NEVER be connected to a running water supplyasthiswilloodthemachine.
To rectify this the machine will require a full service and rebuild - this will be
carried out at the customer’s expense.
All powders supplied by Velopex are sterile until opened, and the containers are not
reusable.
The powder lines and handpiece should be purged/primed each time you switch
between the powder cartridges (See MAINTENANCE: PURGING THE AQUACARE,
Pg 33).
The AquaCare produces ne powder dust when in use. Protect sensitive equipment
from this dust.
Only use parts and consumables supplied by Velopex. Non-Velopex products may
damage the unit or alter the performance. The uid used with the machine must be
a biostatic solution like the AquaSol from Velopex, see page 16.
Site the foot pedal carefully so that it cannot be operated by accident. Always close
the foot pedal safety cover when not in use. Accidental operation can cause an
uncontrolled and dangerous high pressure stream of abrasive powder.
Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
When turning the AquaCare on and off, ensure that the nozzle is aimed into the inlet
of your evacuation unit, and that the evacuation unit is switched on.
When turning the AquaCare off, wait for the machine to depressurise before
attempting to remove the dosing chamber lids. Depressurising takes roughly 30
seconds.
If the AquaCare is dropped or otherwise damaged, it must not be used until it has
been inspected by a Velopex Representative or Authorised Distributor.
If the AquaCare ceases to operate correctly, or if you experience a
deterioration in performance, see TROUBLESHOOTING, Pg 35-37.

19AquaCare: Installation
Before adding the powder to complete installation of the AquaCare, you can check
that the installation has been performed correctly using the following procedure:
A. Check that the machine is off.
B. Sterilise the handpiece. Refer to MAINTENANCE: STERILISING THE HANDPIECE,
Pg 31.
C. Fit the 0.6mm silver handpiece to the machine.
D. Fit a new disposable feedline and tip.
E. Check that the uid container has been tted.
F. Make sure you are in full control of the handpiece before turning the machine on.
G. Switch the On/Off selector to position On.
H. Press the foot pedal down to the DRY position (1). (See PARTS AND FEATURES:
FOOT PEDAL, Pg 11). Check that air comes out of the nozzle. There should be no
uid or powder.
I. Press the foot pedal down to the WASH position (2). After a few seconds you
should observe the ow of air change to a ne mist.
J. Turn the Fluid volume dial, observing the spray. Place a paper towel under the
nozzle at a distance of 25-30mm to make the effect easier to see. The Fluid
volume range varies between:
DROPLET - Small quantity of water. Very ne mist.
SPRAY - Larger quantity of water. Heavier spray.
K. Press the foot pedal fully down to the CUT position (3). You should hear the
vibrator start to operate. Turn the media dial to set the gauge to the midway
position. The nozzle will continue to spray a mixture of uid and water, but no
powder as this has not yet been installed.
L. Turn the Power dial, observing the Pressure gauge. The pressure ranges are:
2 - Low energy, gentle cleaning/polishing action.
4 - Medium energy, medium cutting action.
6 - High energy, very fast cutting action.
M. Switch the machine off.

WAIT FOR DECOMPRESSION
A. Ensure the unit is turned off and fully depressurised. If the machine has been ON
recently, allow 30 seconds for depressurising before attempting to remove the lid.
B. Unscrew the dosing chamber lid anti-clockwise 2/3 of a turn to relieve the
pressure. Then unscrew a further turn and lift off.
C. Select the required powder, i.e. Prep or Prophy, and shake the required Powder
Cartridge for 10 to 20 seconds (See TREATMENTS, Pg 26-30).
D. Pull out top yellow insert from the cartridge.
E. Pull out the yellow lower draw tab on the cartridge.
F. Line up the rib on the outside of the powder cartridge with the slot on the inside of
the dosing chamber.
G. Slide the powder cartridge down into the dosing chamber until it sits comfortably
inside. If the cartridge sits unevenly or above the top of the dosing chamber, then
lift it out and re-insert. Check that the rib of the powder cartridge slides down the
slot in the dosing chamber - ret the dosing chamber lid.
H. Close the dosing chamber by turning lid clockwise. Turn rmly until a strong
resistance is felt from the seal engaging with the top of the chamber. Continue to
turn the lid until you feel the lid tighten against a stop. Always make sure the lid
is fully closed before pressurising the machine.
I. To remove a powder cartridge, open the dosing chamber lid and gently lift the
cartridge out of the machine. If the cartridge still contains some powder and will be
used again, place the cartridge carefully into the powder storage pot supplied.
All powder cartridges supplied by Velopex are gamma irradiated. The contents are
sterile until opened. Powder cartridges must not be relled as the cartridges are
not reusable.
