CAUTI N:
Some new ADU-17X compressor motors
might require a 2-week “break-in” when first
used. As a precaution against stalling the
compressor or possibly blowing the fuses
during this break-in period, it is
recommended that either the handpiece or
the water bottle be removed from the
System for approximately 5 minutes before
each initial daily startup, during the first 2
weeks of use.

STERILIZATION AND MAINTENANCE:
Because of its simple design, the Aseptico ADU-17X Express II requires very little maintenance. Any maintenance that
is needed can be performed in minutes.
BLEEDING THE SYSTEM
If the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, or the unit might be subjected to freezing conditions, you
should bleed the system. Simply empty the contents of the water supply tank and install the tank back into the cap.
Operate the air/water syringe and handpiece with water coolant ‘ON’ until just air comes through the water line. Pack
unit and store as normal.
HANDPIECE FLUSH
Flush the handpiece for about 5 seconds after every patient, and about 20 seconds at the beginning of each day.
GENERAL CLEANING
The external surfaces of the case should be cleaned using a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Any
external surfaces of the unit that are contacted during use should be wiped down with a soft cloth moistened with a
disinfectant at the beginning of each day and between each patient use.
WATER LINES
Disinfect the water lines weekly. Prepare a 1:10 bleach solution (1 part household bleach to 9 parts water). Remove
water reservoir and discard residual water. Replace empty water supply tank and air purge all waterlines. Fill water
supply tank with bleach solution. Run bleach solution through all lines. Allow bleach solution to stand in lines for 10
minutes. Remove water supply tank and discard bleach. Flush water supply tank and all lines thoroughly
with clean water. Air purge and leave lines dry until next clinical use.
VACUUM SYSTEM
The VE and Saliva Ejector Valves are fully autoclavable. Remove the valves from the hoses before autoclaving. The
vacuum hoses should not be autoclaved. Clean hoses with a disinfectant solution. CAUTI N: Use only NON-foaming
cleansers in the vaccum lines.
SYRINGE TIPS
The ADU-17X unit features a three-way air/water syringe with quick-
change autoclavable tips. To remove a tip, press on the locking
collar surrounding the tip socket and pull the used tip straight out of
the socket (see Fig. 8). To insert a new tip, press locking collar and
push tip into socket as far as it will go. Release collar and gently
tug on tip before using to ensure that tip is securely locked into
socket.
Syringe Tip Sterilization:
1) Remove contaminated syringe tip.
2) Remove all visible signs of contamination before autoclaving.
3) Autoclave tip at 132° C (270° F) for ten minutes.
4) Sterilize between each patient use.
N TE: Since only the tips can be autoclaved, it is recommended that the Air/Water Syringe be bagged with a
disposable, single-use plastic sleeve between each patient use.
This device requires periodic maintenance to remove dust in and around the compressor every 12 months or if
accumulations are seen. The fan on the unit vents air from inside the device to the outside. With the unit operating,
use compressed air to spray into the intake vents and blow dust out of the unit.

Problem:
Unit will not start
Unit starts but blows fuse
No water coming out
Insufficient vacuum
Insufficient handpiece operation
Compressor makes a chugging
sound and does not start up
properly
Correction:
Check system’s power connection.
Turn Run Mode Switch to “Continuous” or “Foot Switch” Mode and begin operation.
Check that voltage selector module is set for source voltage.
Check fuse. If blown, replace with 6.3A/125V medium time delay fuse for 120V
operation, or a 4A/250V slo-blo fuse for 230V operation.
Check that voltage selector module is set for source voltage.
Check vacuum waste container. If full, immediately empty to continue operation.
Check vacuum hose assembly for blockage.
Check that fuse is correct for source voltage.
Check water supply tank for water level and verify that cap is tight.
Depress foot switch for 5+ sec. to pressurize supply tank.
Ensure the handpiece air control valve is not opened all the way.
Check vacuum waste container. If full, immediately empty to continue operation.
Check vacuum hose assembly for blockage.
Check that waste container lid is properly seated and tightly secured.
Check that handpiece ON/OFF toggle is “ON”.
Check that handpiece coolant ON/OFF toggle is “ON”.
Check that air control valve is turned up adequately
Check that handpiece tubing is untangled and not crimped.
Check handpiece connection for missing gasket.
Check for sufficient power source and avoid long light-grade extension cords
(Refer to Figure 8 Extension Cord Recommendations - below)
TROUBLESHOOTING:
EXTENSION CORD RECOMMENDATIONS:
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has
a 3-blade grounding plug. Connect
extension cord plug to a matching 3-slot
receptacle. Ensure that the extension
cord is in good condition and that its gage
wire is the correct size wire to carry the
current this product will draw. An
undersized cord is a potential fire hazard
and will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power and causing the
product to overheat. Figure 9 indicates
the correct size cord for the length
required and the ampere rating listed on
the product nameplate. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage cord. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier
the wire gage.
