2.1 Reporting obligation
Users and/or patients must report any serious incidents that arise in relation to the product to the manufacturer and
the competent authorities in the country in which the user and/or patient is resident.
2.2 Warning signs
Structure of warning sign
HAZARD SYMBOL
Nature or source of hazard
Description of the nature or source of hazard and its possible consequences.
Measures to avoid the hazard
Risk levels
Warning
Indicates a hazardous situation that could lead to serious or fatal injuries.
Caution
Indicates a hazardous situation that could lead to minor or moderate injuries.
Attention
Indicates a hazardous situation that could lead to property damage.
2.3 Risk of infection
Risk of infection
If the aerosol mist in or in front of the patient’s oral cavity is not properly removed, this may lead to bacterial transmission
and cross-contamination in the treatment room. There is a risk that patients, users or third parties may be infected.
Take appropriate personal protection measures.
Observe the reprocessing requirements in these instructions for use.
Reprocessing may only be conducted by trained or qualified personnel.
The suction cannulas and cannula holder must be thermally disinfected and/or sterilized in autoclaves at a temperature
of up to 135°C each time a patient is treated.
Clean and disinfect the suction hoses and aerosol suction in accordance with the hygiene and reprocessing measures
specified by the treatment device/suction system manufacturer.
This aerosol suction does not replace the usual protective equipment of the practice staff.
2.4 Magnetic fields
Magnetic fields
Magnetic fields are created when operating the headphones with the magnetic fasteners. This may impact the functioning
of implants like pacemakers.
Before starting treatment, ask patients if they have any implants and inform them of the potential risks.
Do not place or put down the headphones or cannula adapter on the patient.
2.5 Risk of burns
Overheating
The headphone earpieces may heat up when using electrically operated scale removal devices. There is a risk of
overheating and a potential risk of burns. Also pay attention to the headphone batteries during charging. These may also
heat up.
Stop the electric scale removal device if you notice unexpected overheating.
Before each treatment, check that the headphones are in a perfect technical condition and inspect them for any signs
of damage.
Only use properly functioning electrically operated scale removal devices with the headphones.

2.6 Technical condition
Technical condition
If the aerosol suction is not in a perfect technical condition, e.g. if it has uneven surfaces or if there is damage to the hose
adapter, this may cause harm to patients and third parties.
Before each treatment, check that the aerosol suction is in a perfect technical condition and inspect it for any signs of
damage or wear and tear.
Observe the care and maintenance requirements and the service plan.
Make sure that the headphones are positioned correctly on the patient’s head to avoid pinching their skin or trapping
their hair.

Instructions for use
Recommended classification when the product is used as intended:
- Class I medical device
- Non-critical medical device (a medical device that only comes into contact with intact skin.)
The suction cannulas and cannula holders form a sterilizable aerosol suction that can be thermally disinfected. The
headphones cannot be thermally disinfected or sterilized.
The aerosol suction is connected to an existing spray mist hose on a treatment unit and activated. This reduces aerosol
transmission in the treatment room and decreases the risk of aerosol mist being transferred to or infecting the practice
staff.

3 Product description
7 EN
3.2 Intended purpose
Intended use
Patients receive preventative dental care involving the regular removal of plaque and tartar. Aerosols are produced by the
spray cooling used by turbines, handpieces, contra-angle pieces and prophylaxis instruments. These cooling media
generate aerosol clouds inside and outside of the patient’s mouth. These aerosol clouds cannot be fully removed by the
saliva ejector tube or the spray mist suction cannula.
This product provides extraoral aerosol suction that removes the contaminated aerosol mist (germs and bacteria)
generated during the preventative work from directly in front of the patient’s mouth.
The product is intended to be used in the area in front of the patient’s oral cavity during the following types of work:
•Dental prophylaxis
•Restoration work
•Endodontics
•Orthodontics
When using the product for restoration work and endodontics, an additional spray mist suction unit can be operated in
parallel using an additional device-specific kit.
In the practice, the system can be used on the patient for 60 minutes per treatment with breaks. This corresponds to the
typical way of performing dentistry work.
This aerosol suction does not replace the usual protective equipment of the practice staff.
Contraindications/side effects
•Cannot be used on patients with pacemakers or implants that are sensitive to magnets (due to the magnet on the
headphones and adapter)
•Patients with hearing aids
•Patients with skull deformities
•Treatments for children (who cannot follow the instructions given by the practice staff)
•Treatments for people with disabilities (who cannot follow the instructions given by the practice staff)
Not intended to be used for the following
•Unsuitable for implantology and surgery!
•Unsuitable for use in technical dentistry (e.g. work on plaster models, metal casting and model casting)
User group
For use by trained personnel who speak the respective local language
•Dentists
•Specialist dental staff (dental assistants, medical device reprocessing specialists)
Patient group
All people of all ages regardless of their state of health who can follow the instructions given by the dentist or dental staff.
Requirements:
•Intact skin
•External parts of the ears (auricles) are present
•No skull deformities
•Ensure that the patient’s head is of the required size (e.g. when treating children)
Hearing aids may affect the patient’s ability to wear headphones.
Keep the headphones switched off and only use them to hold the cannula adapter.
Functionality
The aerosol suction is intended to be used for the following:
•Removal of aerosol mist from in front of the oral cavity
•Protection of practice staff from being infected by diseases transmitted by aerosol mist
•Operation on a treatment unit connected to an existing spray mist suction unit

5 Reprocessing
Reprocessing methods –in accordance with ISO 17664:2018
Always perform all the reprocessing steps provided in these instructions for use as described and in the order
given.
Process the aerosol suction prior to using it for the first time and reprocess it after treating each patient.
The aerosol suction should be reprocessed as soon as possible following treatment. Also follow the processing
steps in the user manuals provided by the relevant treatment device manufacturers of the suction system.
The manufacturer guarantees effective reprocessing up to 250 cycles in accordance with these instructions for use.
The suction hoses of the various kits for treatment units are to be carried out according to the specifications of the
treatment steps from the operating instructions of the corresponding treatment unit manufacturers.
Reprocessing may only be conducted by qualified personnel.
No special servicing, maintenance, inspection or testing needs to be performed following the reprocessing.
Reprocessing restrictions
The following restrictions apply to the reprocessing of the headphones. Failure to observe the following may damage the
headphones or cause malfunctioning:
•Do not clean inside the headphones
•Do not use disinfectants inside the headphones
•Do not perform automatic cleaning
•Do not use thermal disinfection
•Do not perform automatic disinfection
•Do not perform ultrasonic cleaning
•Do not submerge the headphones in liquid (e.g. cleaning agents/disinfectants)
