2 Safety
The unit has been developed and designed in
such a way that dangers are effectively ruled out
if used in accordance with the intended use.
Nevertheless, residual risks can remain.
You should therefore observe the following notes.
2.1 General notes
Observe the following notes to ensure safe and
effective operation:
❯Water generated by the Hygowater system is
not suitable for drinking.
❯Do not use the Hygowater system for more
than two dental treatment units unless the cor-
responding accessories have been installed.
The system's internal filter may get blocked
and the system may put a stop to operation.
❯The water system described in the following
should be kept short and straight. Piping with
blind ends and long pipes make the Hygowater
system less effective. The water can be con-
taminated again by a flow system with an
unfavourable design.
❯Make sure the filters (pre-filters/ultrafilters) are
serviced or replaced as required. The internal
filters need to be clean if the Hygowater sys-
tem is to work effectively. Hard water reduces
the efficiency of the disinfection process or
brings it to a standstill. The filters may become
blocked and cause damage to the electrolysis
chamber.
❯The recommended water pressure may not be
exceeded. The potential consequences of the
pressure exceeding 6 bars as stipulated are
burst pipes and flooding.
❯Verify that the effect is as it should be at regular
intervals. The chlorine content in the water from
the transmission instruments or cup filler must
be measured every week to ensure effective
operation. The chlorine content may fluctuate.
❯Do not use the Hygowater system with liquids
other than water or without filters. The unit is
designed to be used to disinfect processed
water in the dental treatment unit, with the
quality equivalent to that of drinking water.
Using the unit with liquids other than water
and/or without the correct filters will damage
the unit and make it less effective.
❯The unit must always be kept perfectly upright.
Do not try to operate the unit when it is on its
side or tilted, as water will leak out and poten-
tially cause damage to the unit or its surround-
ings.
❯The use of oxidative disinfectants, such as free
chlorine, can cause corrosion. The Hygowater
system operates with a low (0.2-1 mg/l) chlo-
rine content, but some materials are not at all
compatible with oxidative disinfectants. Make
sure that your dental treatment unit is suitable
for use with processed water of drinking water
quality in line with the WHO Guidelines for
Drinking-Water Quality and the limits set out by
the EU.
❯Use water from the Hygowater with caution.
Always read the label and product information
before use.
2.2 Intended use
The device produces active chlorine* for disinfec-
tion of Dental Unit Waterlines (DUWLs).
Spectrum of efficacy: Reduces water bacteria –
including Legionella.
* Active chlorine is generated from (sodium)
chloride by electrolysis, and is the designation
used by EU in regard to the Biocidal Products
Regulation.
2.3 Improper use
Any other usage or usage beyond this scope is
deemed to be improper. The manufacturer
accepts no liability for damages resulting from
this. In these cases the user/operator will bear
the sole risk.
❯Do not use the Hygowater system on dental
treatment units when other disinfection sys-
tems are switched on. This may stop the
Hygowater from working as effectively or at all.
WARNING
Risk of explosion due to ignition of
combustible materials
❯Do not operate the unit in any rooms in
which inflammable mixtures may be
present, e.g. in operating theatres.

Whoever connects additional devices to medical
electrical devices automatically becomes the sys-
tem configurator and is responsible for ensuring
that the system corresponds with the standard
requirements for systems. Local laws take priority
over the requirements outlined above.

1 Hygowater Booster
2Ultrafilter
The processed water is pumped from the con-
nection for the fresh water supply connection
through the pre-filter and into a disinfection
chamber by a pump. In the pre-filter, particles are
filtered out and certain chemical compounds are
bonded by activated carbon. In the disinfection
chamber, the salts present in the processed
water are converted into chlorine by electrolysis.
The last remaining germs are eliminated in a spe-
cial reaction zone and a downstream ultrafilter fil-
ters the processed water once again before it
reaches the treatment unit.
In combination with the Hygowater Booster, it is
possible to treat water centrally to gain greater
volumes of softened, filtered and disinfected
water. Up to six treatment units can be supplied
with water.
The connection for the fresh water supply con-
nection in the Hygowater Booster is connected
up to the connection for the water drain in the
Hygowater. The processed water is filtered
through two ultrafilters in the Hygowater Booster
before it reaches the treatment unit.
The ultrafilter in the Hygowater/the two
ultrafilters in the Hygowater Booster is/are
replaced when the Customer Service
department performs the annual service.
There is no need for an ultrafilter in the
Hygowater if a Hygowater Booster is con-
nected.

6.3 Daily hygiene tasks
Follow the instructions provided by the
treatment unit manufacturer.
All treatment unit systems that carry water need
to be rinsed through at the start of the working
day. This reduces the bioaccumulation (biofilm)
that occurs during stagnation by some consider-
able margin.
As a way of preventing biofilm from building up,
the unit needs to be rinsed through even if it has
not been used on patients during a particular
working day.
❯Remove transmission instruments before rins-
ing through.
❯Rinse through all extraction points (transmis-
sion instruments, multifunctional syringes, ultra-
sonic handpieces, cup filler) for around
two minutes.
6.4 Operation with Hygowater
Booster

When using the Hygowater Booster, up to six
treatment units can be supplied with water.
The connection for the water supply connection
in the Hygowater Booster is connected up to the
connection for the water drain in the Hygowater.
Installation, set-up and commissioning are per-
formed by Dürr Dental or by a person or com-
pany authorised to do so by Dürr Dental.
The two ultrafilters in the Hygowater
Booster are replaced when the Customer
Service department performs the annual
service.
Usage

EN

7 Self clean
If a treatment unit is not used for a relatively long
period of time, biofilm may build up in the water
pipes. In this case, more powerful disinfection is
required.
CAUTION
A higher concentration of chlorine is
added during the self-clean process.
The permitted limits can be exceeded
here.
There is a danger of repercussions on
patients' health.
❯After the self-clean process, the pipes
need to be rinsed through until the val-
ues are measured as being below the
permitted limits. Take measurements
using chlorine test strips.
❯Press the cleaning button .
The cleaning button lights up blue. The
cleaning mode will end automatically after
30 minutes.
❯There is also the option of pressing the
cleaning button again to cancel the cleaning
mode.
The cleaning button will no longer be lit up.
8 Measuring the chlorine
content
It is recommended that the concentration of free
chlorine is measured for one of the instruments
at least once a week. This measurement should
be taken using chlorine test strips immediately
after rinsing through is complete for the day.
Fill the measured values into a "Weekly
test" table in order to keep an eye on the
results. Contact the manufacturer for suit-
able templates.
üSuitable container with a capacity of at least
200 ml
üChlorine test strips
