SETTING UP THE UNIT

1.  Unpack the AMC-15 from its cardboard crate following the PACKING INSTRUCTIONS on page 16, in the reverse order.

2. The AMC-15 is configured for 3 Midwest-style (4-hole) non-fiber optic air handpieces: two high-speed (with water) A , and one low-speed (no water) B . Connect compatible handpieces to the connectors in the HP-1, HP-2 and LOW SPEED instru- ment holders. Attach saliva and HVE tips to the valves in the low and high vacuum instrument holders C .
   

3.  Before installing the amalgam separator, remove the two caps from the inlet and outlet ports of the separator. Ensure that the two O-rings that seal the separator against the manifold remain in place on the ends of the port fittings and are not lodged inside the caps. Save the caps for reuse later when sending the amalgam separator to be recycled. Open the waste compartment door on the back side of the cart and place the amalgam separator A into the amalgam manifold B . You will need to loosen the retaining screw C located under the top lid to get the bracket down and around the lip of the amalgam separator. Tighten the retaining screw to secure the amalgam separator.
   

4. Inside the waste compartment, make sure that the cable from the waste tank sensor is plugged into the connector labeled WASTE SENSOR A on the back wall of the waste compartment. Ensure that all tubes and the bungee tie-down cord are securely attached to the waste tank.
   NOTE: The AMC-15 will not operate without the waste sensor wire plugged into the waste sensor connector. The yellow waste indicator LED on the front panel will illuminate if the waste sensor  cable is disconnected.

5. Fill the water bottles A with clean water, then screw the bottles back into their fittings. The optional clear water bottles B (PN 730631-01) include floating level indicators C , color coded to identify different fluids such as sterile water or dis- tilled water, as desired.
   CAUTION: Do not run saline solutions through the water system—saline will corrode the plumbing.

6. Place the foot control A on the floor.

7. Connect the power cord to the power inlet A on the rear of the cart, then plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet of the proper voltage corresponding to the unit version (115V or 230V). Turn the main power switch B to the  N  (I) position.
   WARNING: Do not connect the power cord to the AMC-15 in the presence of anesthetics or flammable gases.
   CAUTION: Do not connect 230V power to a 115V unit to avoid circuit breaker damage not covered under warranty.

8. ACCESSORY TRAY — To install the optional accessory tray, insert the post A into the holder on the top lid of the cart. Use the included 3/16” hex wrench to adjust the height of the pivot block B . Place the end of the arm C onto the pivot block, then place the tray on the other end of the arm.

WARNING: Maximum weight capacity of the accessory tray is: 10 lb (4.5 kg)

SYSTEM OPERATION

1. FOOT CONTROL — Press the foot pedal A to activate the working handpiece. Handpiece speed is controlled by how far down you press the foot pedal. To enable water coolant to be activated with the foot pedal, toggle the water coolant switch B towards the  dot C on the foot control, as shown. Toggle the switch away from the dot to disable water coolant.

2. INSTRUMENT HOLDERS — Each instrument holder (except the syringe holder) provides an on/off toggle switch A and an automatic instrument shut-off switch B . The toggle switch must be ON (towards the dot C , as shown) and the instrument must be out of the instrument holder to operate the instrument. (NOTE: Turn toggle switches OFF to ensure that any instruments that may not be fully seated in their holders will not turn ON accidentally when the foot pedal is activated.)

3. DRIVE AIR — Pneumatic handpiece air pressure should be adjusted to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. To determine the current pressure setting, lift the handpiece from the HP-1 instrument holder and press the foot pedal while looking at the handpiece pressure gauge A on the front panel. If adjustment is necessary, lift the top lid on the AMC-15 cart and lock the hinge in the open position. Rotate the HP  1 adjustment screw B counterclockwise to increase pressure or clockwise to decrease pressure. Repeat this procedure for the HP-2 handpiece using the HP 2 adjustment screw C and for the LOW SPEED handpiece using the LOW SPEED HP adjustment screw D. The 2 remaining screws ( E and F ) are not used.

4. WATER BOTTLES — The AMC-15 incorporates a self-contained pressurized water system which includes: two 1-liter water bottles, a bottle select switch A and a bottle pressure switch B . Use the bottle select switch to direct flow from either water bottle.  The bottle pressure switch allows both bottles to be refilled without draining the air tank.
   (NOTE: Pressure is released from both bottles; you cannot remove one bottle while using the other).
   To refill the water bottles:
   a. Toggle the bottle pressure switch B OFF to release pressure from both bottles.
   b. Unscrew the bottles from the unit and fill with water. Never use saline as it will corrode the plumbing.
   c. Screw bottles back into their fittings on the unit.
   d. Toggle bottle pressure B ON to pressurize both bottles.
   e. Select the bottle to be used with the bottle select switch A .

5. 3‑WAY AIR/WATER SYRINGE — Press the left button A to dispense water, press the right button B to dispense air, and press both buttons simultaneously for an air/ water mist. To adjust the air and water flow to the syringe, lift the top lid and lock the
   hinge in the open position. Locate the adjustment block in the right front corner, then use a small flat-blade screwdriver to adjust the left screw C for air flow and the right screw D for water flow. Counterclockwise increases flow and clockwise decreases flow.

6. WATER COOLANT — The HP 1 A and HP 2 B valves control water coolant flow to the HP-1 and HP-2 handpieces respectively. Switch ON the water coolant toggle on the foot control and switch ON the air coolant toggle on the side control panel. Lift the
   HP-1 handpiece from its holder and run at a midrange speed. Rotate the HP 1 water coolant flow knob clockwise until it seats softly (closed). Begin turning counterclockwise until a fine mist is visible. If a mist is not generated, see AIR COOLANT adjustment below. Repeat water coolant adjustment steps for the HP-2 handpiece using the HP 2 valve.
   

7. AIR COOLANT — Air coolant (chip air) works in combination with the water coolant setting to create a fine mist for the working handpiece. Make sure the water coolant switch  on the foot control is switched ON and the air coolant A is switched ON. Operate a handpiece at a midrange speed. Rotate the air coolant flow knob B control clockwise until it seats softly. Begin turning counterclockwise until a fine mist is visible. Adjust air coolant in combination with water coolant for optimum mist.

8. FLUSH TOGGLE — Use this toggle switch to flush each handpiece and motor with water. Flush each working instrument for about 5 seconds after each patient, and about 20 seconds at the beginning of each day. To flush an instrument, remove it from its holder and direct the spray nozzle into a basin. Hold the flush toggle A in the ON position for the desired number of seconds, then release. (NOTE: If water bottles empty while flushing, air will be flushed through the lines).

9. HIGH AND LOW VOLUME VACUUMS — The AMC-15 is equipped with a 5-liter waste tank, a high volume evacuator (HVE) A hose, and a low volume saliva ejector B hose. Both high and low volume hoses operate simultaneously from the same vacuum source. Use the valves on the HVE hose and low volume hose to adjust the relative vacuum pressure between the two hoses, as needed.
   The best vacuum performance will be achieved by closing the saliva ejector valve when operating the HVE, or closing the HVE valve when operating the saliva ejector.
   

10. WASTE INDICATOR — The yellow LED A located on the front panel will light up (or flash) to indicate when the waste tank is full, or the waste tank sensor cable is discon nected. When the waste tank is full, the unit may cycle on and off, or shut down completely, indicating the waste tank must be emptied. See WASTE REMOVAL (page 11) to empty the waste tank. See SETTING UP THE UNIT (page 8) for the location of the waste tank sensor cable.
    

11. AUXILIARY WATER CONNECTION — An auxiliary water connection A is provided on the front panel of the AMC-15 cart for connecting optional equipment. The water connection provides 35 psi (2.41 bar) of pressure.
    

MAINTENANCE AND STERILIZATION

1. WASTE REMOVAL — Empty the waste tank daily. Waste removal steps:
   a. Open the waste compartment door on the rear of the unit.
   b. Remove the end of waste hose from tethered hose clamp A , then direct the waste hose to a suitable drain.
   c. Switch ON the waste purge pump B to empty the waste tank. It may take a minute before waste water begins to flow from the end of the hose.
   d. Return the end of the waste hose into the clamp A , then pinch clamp closed to prevent leakage.
   e. Check that peristaltic pump latch C is closed fully and waste hose clamp A is secured on waste tube to prevent vacuum leakage. Refer to label in waste compartment.
   The type of amalgam separator used with the AMC-15 requires no settlement time before emptying the waste tank.

2. WASTE SYSTEM CLEANING — After emptying the waste tank each day, the waste system should be cleaned.
   The waste system consists of:
   • Waste tank
   • Waste discharge hose
   • HVE (high volume ejector) valve and vacuum line
   • Saliva ejector (low volume) valve and vacuum line
   Cleaning steps:
   a. Prepare 1 liter of a 1:10 bleach solution (1 part household bleach to 9 parts water).
   b. Remove the disposable ends from both the HVE and saliva ejector valves.
   c. Vacuum half of the bleach solution through the HVE valve, then the other half through the saliva ejector valve by putting the tip of each valve in the bleach solution.
   d. Flush each valve and line by vacuuming 1/2 liter of clean water through each valve.
   e. Empty the waste tank following the instructions in step 1 above.
   f. Clean the outside of the ejector valves and hoses with a disinfectant solution.

3. AMALGAM SEPARATOR — The amalgam separator A is located in the waste compartment. The separator filters out particulate matter while the waste water is being pumped out of the unit. A significant drop in waste discharge pressure will occur when the amalgam separator becomes full of solids. Replacement amalgam separators (PN 730595) are available through Aseptico. Refer to the label on the amalgam separator for the address of an approved amalgam recycler. Replace the separator by unscrewing the amalgam separator retaining knob B located under the top lid, and removing the amalgam separator from the waste compartment. NOTE: You can operate the AMC-15 with the bypass filter C installed in place of the amalgam separator, where permitted.
   

4. AMALGAM SOLIDS TRAP — Replace the disposable amalgam solids trap routinely. The performance of the vacuum system will decrease significantly as the trap fills up with solids. The trap sits inside the central vacuum canister located under the top lid. Keep spare traps in stock. The AMC-15 uses standard 1 7/8” traps (both open and closed type traps are compatible):
   NOTE: Check with state laws regarding the recycling of amalgam solids waste.

5. AIR TANK PURGE — Empty the air tank daily to remove condensation from air tank. Place a container underneath the air tank drain hose A to catch water. Rotate the air tank pressure knob B counter-clockwise to empty the air tank, then rotate knob clockwise to close valve when done.

6. PURGING WATER LINES — Purge all water from the system with air before cleaning the water lines (step 7 below). Also purge the water lines with air if the cart will be unused for more than a week or exposed to freezing temperatures. Purging steps:
   a. Empty both water bottles and reinstall them into their fittings.
   b. Rotate open (counter-clockwise) the HP 1 and HP 2 water coolant knobs (open fully for fastest purging).
   c. Toggle ON all instrument holder switches.
   d. Switch ON the main power.
   e. Toggle ON the bottle pressure switch.
   f. Purge all water lines simultaneously or one at a time: Hold handpieces over a basin while holding the flush toggle switch A in the ON position until all water is purged from the lines with air.
   g. Finally, hold the water syringe over the basin and hold down the water button until all water is purged from the line with air.

7. CLEANING WATER LINES — Clean the water lines weekly.
   Cleaning steps:
   a. Prepare a 1:10 bleach solution (1 part household bleach to 9 parts water).
   b. Purge all water lines with air (see step 6 above).
   c. Fill water bottles with bleach solution.
   d. Run bleach solution through all lines using the flush toggle switch.
   e. Allow bleach solution to stand in the lines for 10 minutes but no longer: Immediately remove water bottles and discard the bleach, then flush water bottles and all lines thoroughly with clean water.
   f. Purge all water lines with air (see step 6 above) and leave dry until the next clinical use.
   CAUTION: Do not run saline solutions through the water system—saline will corrode the plumbing.

8. 3‑WAY AIR/WATER SYRINGE — The syringe tip is autoclav able. To remove a tip from the syringe, press down on the locking collar A surrounding the tip socket and pull the tip B straight out of the socket. Clean with a moist cloth, then autoclave at 270° F (132° C) for 10 minutes. To insert a tip, press down on the locking collar and push the tip into the socket as far as it will go. Release the locking collar and gently tug on tip before using to ensure that the tip is securely locked into the socket.
   (NOTE:   Since only the tip can be autoclaved, it is recommended that the air/water syringe be bagged with a disposable, single-use plastic sleeve between each patient use.)

9. GENERAL CLEANING — The external surfaces of the AMC-15 cart should be cleaned using a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Any external surfaces of the cart that are contacted during use should be wiped down with a soft cloth moistened with a disinfectant at the beginning of each day and between each patient use.
   CAUTION: Do not use CaviCide™ cleaner on the unit to avoid damage to the surface.

10. HANDPIECES — When sterilizing handpieces, follow the instructions provided by the handpiece manufacturer.

11. SYSTEM PRESSURE — System pressure is set at the factory and should not need adjustment. The system pressure gauge A is located under the top lid and should read approximately 80 psi (5.5 bar). Pressure is controlled by the system pressure regulator B . Contact Aseptico customer service in the unlikely event that adjustment in necessary.
