SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Aseptico accepts no liability for direct or consequential injury or damage resulting from improper
use, arising in particular through the non-observance of the operating instructions, or improper
preparation and maintenance.
WARNING: Clean, disinfect, and sterilize new or repaired handpieces and instruments before
first use and between each patient use. Only use sterilized handpieces and
instruments during treatment. Non-sterilized handpieces and instruments may cause
bacterial or viral infections. Always sterilize handpieces and instruments after
operation.
CAUTION: Always examine unit components for damage before commencing treatment.
Damaged components must not be used and must be replaced.
WARNING: Use for intended purposes only. Failure to observe the operating instructions may
result in the patient or user suffering serious injury or the product being damaged,
possibly beyond repair. Before using this product, make sure that you have studied
and understood the operating instructions.
WARNING: For use by qualified and trained personnel only.
WARNING: Do not install where there is a risk of an explosion. The Mobile Dental System is not
intended for operation in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases.
WARNING: Always operate a high-speed handpiece with water coolant. Operating a high-speed
handpiece without water coolant can cause thermal injury to the patient.
CAUTION: Observe local regulations concerning disposal of amalgam waste.
WARNING: Never operate unit or work on patients when the top cover is open.
WARNING: Do not use this device for dental implant procedures.
CAUTION: Do not run saline solutions through the water system -- saline will corrode the water

STERILIZATION AND MAINTENANCE:
WATER LINES:
Disinfect the water lines weekly. Prepare a 1:10
bleach solution (1 part household bleach to 9 parts
water). Purge all water lines (see page 17, Purg ng
Water From the System). Fill water bottles with
bleach solution. Run bleach solution through all
lines. Allow bleach solution to stand in lines for 10
minutes but no longer: Immediately remove water
bottles and discard the bleach, then flush water
bottles and all lines thoroughly with clean water.
Purge all water lines with air and leave dry until next
clinical use.
VACUUM LINES:
The HV and low volume saliva ejector valves are
fully autoclavable. Remove the valves from their
hoses before autoclaving. The vacuum hoses should
not be autoclaved. Clean hoses with a disinfectant
solution using standard vacuum hose cleaning
procedures. CAUTION: Use only NON-foaming
cleansers in the vaccum lines.
AMALGAM SOLIDS TRAP:
Replace the disposable
amalgam solids trap
routinely. The
performance of the
vacuum system will
decrease significantly as
the trap fills up with solids.
The trap sits inside the
central vacuum canister located under the top lid.
Keep spare traps in stock. The AMC-20 uses
standard 1 7/8” traps (open or closed type):
