hood directly in front of the patient’s mouth approximately 3” to 4” from the oral cavity.

knob adjusted to the highest position for maximum suction. The variable speed knob can be
adjusted to lower suction as per user preference.

contamination to gloved hands.

maximum efficiency.
a. Note, keep the rigid hose as compressed as possible to avoid slumping or hose movement
during procedures.

Recommended Cleaning Instructions (Does not supersede ADA, CDC or OSAP disinfection
guidelines):
After each use, the hood opening, and rigid flexible hose should be cleaned.
1. Make sure the unit is turned off and the hose is fully compressed and in a standing upright
position.
2. Using approved disinfection wipes, wipe down the inside and outside of the hood opening
thoroughly. Using a second wipe, wipe down the outside of the hose thoroughly.
3. Turn the unit on with variable speed knob turned to the lowest setting to reduce CFM. Spray
the inside of the hood opening for 5 seconds with an aerosol disinfection agent that is greater

cover the inside of the hood opening and rigid flexible hose from top to bottom. Shut the unit
off and reset the variable speed knob to its appropriate setting.
