Unique Design Features
iM3 Dental Systems are designed with unique and practical features to make your work
even more satisfying and productive. Please note; some features listed below, may be
optional depending on the system you purchase.
Control Top
The Corian® top is a non-porous work surface which is easy to sanitize. It incorporates a groove
around the edge to prevent burs falling on the floor during procedures. The control box is made from
powder coated aluminum that won’t warp or deteriorate with age.
Color Coded System
All supply lines on iM3 dental systems are color coded to simplify service and
maintenance requirements.
Maintenance Instructions
All maintenance instructions are conveniently printed on the card hanging from the unit, or printed
on the back of the dental machine ensuring the system is kept in perfect working order.
Power Board
A four socket electric power board is conveniently located on the side of the control panel, featuring
an IEC female socket. (Optional on the GS, standard on the Deluxe)
Adjustable Stainless Steel Stand
The iM3 stand is made from high quality stainless steel and is height adjustable for work and ease
of storage. (Optional on the GS, standard on the Deluxe)
Wall Arm
An air operated approx 54”/1.50m long arm is available
Ultrasonic Scaler Coolant Outlet
The ultrasonic scaler coolant outlet is mounted conveniently on the rear of the control box, to allow
the use of the water or system to supply the coolant to your ultrasonic dental scaler.
CLS En iro System
CLS Enviro System is an ingenious occupational health and patient safety system. CLS is designed
to help reduce the risk of atmospheric pollution and the transfer of viruses, such as FIV from patient
to patient and reduce unpleasant mouth odors. (Optional on the GS, standard on the Deluxe)
Flush System—Optional on the GS, standard on the GS Deluxe
The Flush System enables CLS at a press of a button, to enter the HS air line. The foot control
pedal is depressed after pressing the flush button, pushing the CLS into the head of the handpiece,
helping to sanitize the turbine and head of the handpiece. Excess CLS is caught in the small
collection bottle mounted underneath the control box after flushing the exhaust air line.
Particle Filters and Bacterial Filters
Particle filters and bacterial filters are installed on all iM3 dental systems to help reduce particles
entering the water supply and reduce unpleasant environmental odors from the HP exhaust collec-
tion bottles.
Options
Stainless Steel Instrument Tray
Height adjustable and mounts on the rear of the unit, standard on the Deluxe.
Oil Free Silent Hurricane Compressor
Mounts underneath the unit on the stainless steel stand—supplying air wherever the unit is to be
used, and is considered more convenient than a noisy compressor which is usually situated in an-

Getting Started
11 Turn on the compressor and allow to pressurize, (see page 24.).
12. Make sure your compressor is set to deliver the correct working pressure. The air pressure
regulator gauge should read 80 psi (5.5Bar). If adjustment is required, please see page 27
for compressor pressure adjustment instructions. The pressure is set at the iM3 factory.
13. Place the foot control pedal on the floor in front of the unit. The foot pedal operates the High
and Low speed handpieces when depressed.
14. Check handpiece operation:
a) Select HS on the Toggle, Remove High Speed Handpiece from holder and depress
handpiece foot control pedal—handpiece should now operate. Page 5 (C)
b) Select LS and Remove Low Speed Handpiece from holder and depress handpiece foot
control pedal—handpiece should now operate. Page 5 (C)
15. Adjust individual handpiece pressure if required, (see page 1 ). Each handpiece—Low
speed and high speed has a specific pressure requirement.
16. Pressurize water system by moving the water system switch to ON, located on the back of
the control panel. (see page 6)
Important. When filling distilled water and/or CLS En iro bottles de-pressurize the
water system, (see page 10.). Check water and air supply to the 3 way air water syringe.
Depress the right hand button for air and left hand button for water or both together for
mist.
17. Water volume. Remove high speed handpiece, from holder and depress foot control pedal.
Adjust water spray volume to a fine mist by rotating the flow control knob. (see page 5 “H”)
Please observe manufacturers handpiece maintenance instructions for
handpiece longevity.

iM3 Distilled Water and CLS Enviro Solution Supply
Each iM3 dental system is supplied with an amber or clear water bottle which should be filled only
with distilled water to assist in preventing mineral or bacteria build up in the handpieces. This water
bottle supplies the high speed handpieces, 3 way air water syringe and ultra sonic scaler coolant
outlet .
The CLS Enviro Solution supply and water system allows you to choose between distilled water or
CLS Solution at the flick of a switch, depending on the dental procedure you wish to perform. The
CLS solution contains chlorhexidine which is light sensitive and should be kept in the amber bottle
provided.
The coolant system for your iM3 dental system, has been preset at 25 psi.
Refilling Coolant Bottles
To refill the distilled water or CLS solution, flip the pressure switch on your dental system to OFF -
depressurizing the system. After the system has been depressurized, unscrew the bottle and refill
with either distilled water or CLS Solution. After filling the coolant bottle screw it back into the holder
and flip the pressure switch to ON, repressurizing the system. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOT-
TLES.
Please Note: When the day’s dental procedures are complete, flip the ON/OFF pressure switch to
the OFF position, depressurizing the coolant bottles for storage.
Cleaning
Bottles maybe sterilized with ethylene oxide or by chemical sterilization.
Here’s what Dr Jeanie Hawkins, DVM, Diplomat AVDC had to
say about CLS Solution and the Auto Flush System…..
“Having CLS Solution at my fingertips to flush periodontal pockets is a real plus.
iM3® is the only Company to address the problem of cleaning the airlines and high
speed handpieces of scalers by using a moment button to release CLS Solution
into the airline.”

iM3 Filtration System
Water and CLS En iro Solution Supply
Inline filters in the supply bottles help prevent particles from entering the system and
blocking handpieces. These filters are located in the distilled water and CLS Enviro bottles.
The inline filters will need to be checked and replaced if they appear dirty.
The use of distilled water is mandatory in the water bottles, as local water may clog the
system and can corrode the brass valves in the system, apart from the risk of a bacterial
build up.
Note: Failure to use distilled water will void
the warranty.
iM3 CLS Flush System
The turbine in most high speed handpieces continues to revolve for a few seconds after use
and acts as a miniature centrifugal pump, sucking back air and water containing mouth
viruses and bacteria into the head of the handpiece. The CLS flushing system can help to
control this by supplying a quantity of CLS Solution into the air line of the high speed hand-
piece head, helping to sanitize the air line and handpiece.
To activate the flush, remove the High Speed Handpiece from its holder and press the CLS
flush button (Page 5 “F”) for one second. This will inject 1-2cc of CLS Solution into the air
line. Press the foot pedal, holding the handpiece away from yourself and the dental system,
as the CLS Solution is forced through the head of the handpiece under pressure. Excess
CLS Solution will return down the exhaust line and be collected in the handpiece exhaust
collection container.
CLS Solution should remain soaking in the handpiece for 2 minutes, prior to reactivating the
handpiece.
Note: The CLS flush system ill never replace autoclaving of handpieces in-
bet een patients to ensure complete sterilization—see page 22
VOID
Note: The use of other chlorhexidine solutions may cause crystal deposits
in handpieces and valves. Use of such solutions ill void the arranty.
Do not dilute CLS beyond the recommended label instructions, as it may
result in crystal deposits forming and block handpieces and valves. Chlorine
in ater ill cause chlorhexidine to flocculate—use only distilled ater.

Sterilization
HIGH SPEED HANDPIECE
Handpieces should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any foreign particles, eg; blood, saliva
etc. Make sure that the turbine cartridge and head cavity are clean before autoclaving. If
autoclaved with bloody particles in the turbine housing, autoclaving will cause particles to
be scorched and damage to the turbine may result.
The exterior of the handpiece may be cleaned with any good surgical disinfectant. Be sure
to rinse and dry thoroughly. Lubricate handpiece turbine with Triflow Teflon Lubricant.
Note: The neoprene washer or connections gasket should be removed prior to autoclaving.
After autoclaving, re-lubricate when handpiece is cool.
Do not allow handpiece to sit in autoclave bag overnight.
LOW SPEED HANDPIECE
Prepare handpiece and attachments for sterilization by carefully cleaning the exterior
surface. Thoroughly scrub, rinse and clean away any residual solution and particles.
Remove moisture with a towel or use air from the 3 way air water syringe.
1. Prior to sterilization, lubricate the handpiece using Triflow Teflon Lubricant.
HANDPIECES: Apply oil through the handpiece air inlet tube. (see page 1 )
ATTACHMENT: Remove attachment from handpiece and oil through both end openings.
Note: After lubricating items, assemble and operate for a few seconds to expel excess lubricant.
2. Seal items in sterilization tubing bags. Make sure to remove bur from handpiece prior to sealing.
3. Place handpiece or attachments in sterilization trays of dry heat sterilizer or steam autoclave. Do
not exceed temperatures of 275°F or 135°C. Sterilize according to manufacturers instructions.
4. After sterilization cycle is completed, allow handpieces and attachments to cool down then
lubricate handpiece and attachments thoroughly. Make sure to use a different container after
sterilization cycle, to prevent recontaminating.
Note: Lubricate handpieces using Triflow® Teflon Lubricant after cooling down, do not
allow handpiece to sit in sealing bag overnight or for a long period. Immediately operate
handpiece as described in the following step.
5. After lubricating items, insert bur into handpieces and operate for a few seconds to
remove excess lubricant.
Do not autoclave the high speed handpiece with a bur in the chuck.
