D3561.201.01.16.0208.2018
2.3 On-site installation
The on-site installation must have been performed according to our
requirements. The details are described in the document "Installation
Requirements".
2.4 Installation of the treatment center
Installation must be carried out by authorized personnel according to
the installation instructions.
2.5 Media quality
The air and water supplies must meet the requirements specified in the
installation requirements.
To ensure compliance with the medical and national legal requirements
for water from treatment centers, Dental Sirona recommends equipping
the treatment center with a disinfection system. If you decide to operate
the treatment center without a disinfection system, you must make
alternative arrangements to ensure good water quality.
As the owner of the treatment center, you are generally responsible for
the water quality.
The bacterial count must comply with the national regulations for
drinking water and must not exceed 500 CFU/ml under any
circumstances (CFU: colony forming unit).
If the bacterial count is too high, the building water system must be
checked and the cause of contamination eliminated. Alternatively, a
self-sufficient water supply can also be installed. In addition, if the
treatment center is equipped with a disinfection system, the empty
disinfectant tank can be used as a water container.
Before installation of the treatment center, an acceptable
microbiological water quality for the domestic water supply must be
ensured and documented in the form of the bacterial count. Sampling
and the bacterial count must be performed by a competent laboratory.
Test the water quality from the treatment center at regular intervals and
after it has not been used for >1 week, see "Microbiological water test"
[→203]. Please contact your specialized dealer or your dental
association for the respective national requirements and measures.
Where necessary, you must make alternative arrangements to ensure
good water quality if you decide to operate the treatment center without
a disinfection system.
WARNING
Highly immunosuppressed patients or patients with specific
pulmonary diseases should not come in contact with the water of the
treatment unit . The use of sterile solutions is recommended.

2.6 Connection to the public drinking water system
Treatment center isolated from the public drinking water supply
The treatment center, if it is equipped with a disinfection system,
complies with the requirements of EN 1717 (free discharge with an
isolation distance ≥ 20 mm) and the DVGW German Gas and Water
Association). It is intrinsically safe according to the W540 worksheet
and thus also complies with W270 and KTW (Guideline on the use of
plastics in contact with drinking water). It can be connected directly to
the public drinking water system.
The treatment center then has the "DVGW" label next to the rating
plate.
Treatment center not isolated from the public drinking water supply
If compliance with EN 1717 is required in the country, the respective
measures for the protection of public drinking water must be taken
outside the treatment center.
This applies to models without a disinfection system.
The treatment center then does not have the "DVGW" label.
Please comply with the national requirements with regard to connecting
treatment centers to the public drinking water system.
2.7 Maintenance and repair
Authorized technical personnel and spare
parts
As manufacturers of dental medical units and in the interest of the
operational safety of your system, we stress the importance of having
maintenance and repair of this unit performed only by ourselves or by
agencies expressly authorized by us. Furthermore, faulty components
must always be replaced with original spare parts.
We suggest that you request a certificate showing the nature and extent
of the work performed from those who carry out such work; it must
contain any changes in rated parameters or working ranges (if
applicable), as well as the date, the name of the company and a
signature.
Maintenance intervals Despite the outstanding quality of your treatment center and regular
care by the practice team, in the interest of operational safety, it is
essential to have preventive maintenance performed at scheduled
intervals.
In order to ensure the operational safety and reliability of your treatment
center and to avoid damage due to natural wear, as the system owner
you must have your system checked regularly by an authorized service
technician from your dental depot. Furthermore, safety checks must be
performed. Please contact your dental depot to obtain a maintenance
offer. For more information, please refer to "Maintenance by the service
engineer" [→265].

2.8 Trouble-free operation
Use of this unit is permissible only if it works properly without
malfunctions. If trouble-free operation cannot be ensured, the unit must
be taken out of service, checked by authorized technicians for
malfunctions and, if necessary, repaired or replaced.
2.9 Vacuum system
The suction removal of aluminum and other metal oxides from blasting
devices via the amalgam separator and the automatic separator
installed in the treatment center is prohibited! This would result in
extreme wear and clogging of the vacuum and drain lines.
A separate vacuum system must be used in connection with metal
oxide blasting devices. Treatment centers equipped with a central
standard wet suction are generally suitable for suction removal of the
above material. However, make sure to observe the instructions
provided by the manufacturer of your vacuum system.
No restrictions apply when using salt blasting devices in connection with
Dentsply Sirona treatment centers. However, in such cases, make sure
that the system is subsequently flushed with an adequate amount of
water.

D3561.201.01.16.0208.2018
2.17 Electromagnetic compatibility
Medical electrical devices are subject to special precautionary
measures with regard to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). They
must be installed and operated as specified in the document
“Installation Requirements”.
Portable HF communication equipment, including accessories, should
not be used in the vicinity of the device. Non-observance can impair the
performance of the device.
Operating an HF surgical device
Treatment with HF surgical devices creates strong electromagnetic
fields, which may affect other electronic devices. Do not place external
HF surgical devices on the work surfaces of the treatment center and do
not guide the HF handpiece cable over it. Electromagnetic interference
can often be reduced by operating the external HF surgical device with
a neutral electrode.
Sivision Digital and USB interface
The presence of electromagnetic interference in the vicinity of the
treatment center may cause image degradation and interruptions in the
data transmission via the USB interface to the PC. In such cases,
repeat the image recording or other operations.
In the event of strong interference, it may be necessary to restart the
PC and treatment center. Do not use the PC for controlling other
devices that perform essential tasks.
Wireless foot control
The wireless foot control may interfere with other devices in the same
frequency band (2.4GHz) or receive interfering signals from them. The
safe condition of the treatment center is guaranteed even if the wireless
transmission is compromised.
2.18 Electrostatic discharge
Protective measures
ESD stands for ElectroStatic Discharge.
Electrostatic discharge from people can damage electronic components
when the components are touched. Damaged components usually have
to be replaced. Repairs must be performed by qualified personnel.
Measures to protect against ESD include:
● Procedures to avoid electrostatic charging via
– air conditioning
– air humidification
– conductive floor coverings
– non-synthetic clothing
