SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

Aseptico accepts no liability for direct or consequential injury or damage resulting from improper use, arising in particular through the non-observance of the operating instructions, or improper preparation and maintenance.
WARNING: Device not suitable for use in the presence of  flammable gasses or gasseous oxidizers.

SETTING UP THE UNIT:

1.  Place the ADU-12DCE Task Force Deluxe in an upright position (the carrying handle at the top) on a flat, stable surface.
2. Unlatch and open the case. Install AA-12CSB Bracket to hold
   up case lid. (Figure 1)

NOTE: Install AA-12CSB Bracket to prevent hoses from coming out of holders.

3. Verify that the voltage selector insert is configured properly by checking the voltage indicator on the voltage selector module (Figure 2). The voltage module is located behind the sliding panel on the rear of the ADU-12DCE (Figure 7). The voltage selector insert must be installed in the “120” position for 110V-120V 60Hz operation or in the “240” position for 220V-250V 50Hz operation.
   WARNING:
   ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER TO THE SYSTEM BEFORE OPENING VOLTAGE SELECTOR MODULE.
   To switch the voltage configuration, disconnect power cord and insert a small flat screwdriver under the locking tab in the front of module. Gently depress tab until the fuse housing releases (Figure 3).
   Carefully remove fuse housing to reveal voltage selector insert (Figure 4).
   Pull insert out of housing, turn it around and reinsert into housing with proper voltage indicator facing out (See Figure 5).
   
   IMPORTANT: For 110V-120V use, check that the fuse in use is a 6.3A medium time delay; for 220V-250V use, check that the fuse is a 4A Slo-Blo type. User may have to change fuses before use. For 220V-250V use, confirm that the power cord is correct for the country of usage and carries the proper certifications.
   
   Carefully reinstall fuses into fuse holder and slide holder back into selector module (Figure 6).
   Apply pressure until locking tab snaps back into position, producing a distinct clicking sound.
   

4. Place the syringe, highspeed handpiece and lowspeed handpiece in their proper holders on the holder bar.

5. Place the foot switch on the floor..

6. Remove the cap from the white plastic water supply tank and fill with clean water. Reinstall the cap and place water supply tank into retainer strap inside Task Force Deluxe case.

7. Attach the saliva ejector hose onto the top of the waste container by pushing in and rotating 1/4 turn (Figure 8).
   Verify that the vacuum line and waste container are properly installed. Hang the saliva ejector hose in its holder on the holder bar.
   

OPERATION:

1. FOOT SWITCH: All Task Force Deluxe system components are activated by the on/off foot switch. The foot switch enables the operation of the handpieces, saliva ejector and the 3-way air/water syringe.
   CAUTION: Releasing and depressing the foot switch within two seconds may cause the compressor/ vacuum pump to stall and blow the fuses when the handpiece on/off toggle switch is in the ‘OFF’ position. To prevent this, wait two or more seconds after releasing footswitch before depressing it again.

2. COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY: The ADU-12DCE contains a 1/2 HP compressor/ vacuum pump that powers all functions. The compressed air supply and vacuum are available only when the foot switch is depressed.

3. THREE-WAY AIR/WATER SYRINGE: The ADU-12DCE Task Force Deluxe features a TA-90D three-way air/water syringe with quick change autoclavable tips. To remove a tip, press on the locking collar surrounding the tip socket and pull the used tip straight out of the socket (see Fig. 9).
   To insert a new tip, press locking collar and push tip into socket as far as it will go. Release collar and gently tug on tip before using to ensure that tip is securely locked into socket.
   
   Syringe Tip Sterilization:

4. Remove contaminated syringe tip.

5.  Remove all visible signs of contamination before autoclaving.

6. Autoclave tip at 132° C (270° F) for ten minutes.
   NOTE: Since only the tips can be autoclaved, it is recommended that the Air/Water Syringe be bagged with a disposable, single-use plastic sleeve between each patient use.
   NOTE: Avoid damage to the syringe by removing the tip when closing the ADU-12DCE case for transportation.
   

7. HANDPIECE CONTROLS:
   The Aseptico ADU-12DCE includes a manual handpiece control system. The system includes one highspeed control with water coolant and one lowspeed control. The handpiece selection switch allows the user to select highspeed or lowspeed operation, and the handpiece on/off toggle switch turns the selected handpiece on or off.

8. TANK PRESSURE TOGGLE SWITCH:
   Turns the pressure to the water supply tank on or off. Turn switch off before removing water supply tank.

9. WATER COOLANT ON/OFF TOGGLE SWITCH:
   Turns water coolant to highspeed handpiece on or off.

10. WATER COOLANT FLOW CONTROL:
    Adjusts the flow of water coolant to the highspeed handpiece control from off to full spray when the water coolant on/off toggle switch is in the “ON” position.

11. CAVITRON WATER OUTLET:
    Provides water via standard 1/4” quick disconnect to independent Cavitron or scaler units requiring a water supply.

12. PRESSURIZED WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM:
    The Aseptico ADU-12DCE incorporates a self contained pressurized water system. This consists of a 1000 mL white  plastic tank dispensing water through the 3-way syringe and highspeed handpiece control. Before removing the tank for refilling, it must be depressurized. Turn off the tank pressure toggle switch to release pressure in the water system. Then unscrew the cap from tank and fill tank with water. Screw cap back onto tank. Sterilization of tank is recommende  between patient use.
    WARNING:
    THE WATER SUPPLY TANK IS PRESSURIZED DURING OPERATION. DEPRESSURIZE WATER TANK BY TURNING OFF TANK PRESSURE TOGGLE SWITCH BEFORE REMOVAL

13. . SALIVA EJECTOR VACUUM SYSTEM:
    The Saliva Ejector is powered by the compressor/vacuum pump and is a self contained oral evacuation system. It is supplied with a plastic waste container and a saliva ejector hose. To operate, attach the saliva ejector hose to the top of the waste container and insert a standard saliva ejector tip. To activate the saliva ejector, depress the foot switch. Waste from the vacuum system will collect in the clear plastic waste container. When the waste container is over 1/2 full, it must be emptied to prevent a back-up in the system. After each use, the vacuum system should be cleaned by running clean water or vacuum system cleanser through the saliva ejector hose and by thoroughly cleaning the waste container.

CAUTION: Use only NON-foaming cleansers in the vaccum lines.Use a new saliva ejector tip for each patient.
NOTE:
The waste container has a ball float shutoff to prevent accidental overflow. If the waste container becomes full and the ball float activates, the vacuum motor may not restart, and could potentially blow the fuse. Immediately empty waste container to continue operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When running the ADU-12DCE unit at 230VAC 50Hz, expect approximately 17% less vacuum and pressure volume due to the slower turning of the compressor.

MAINTENANCE:

Because of its simple design, the Aseptico ADU-12DCE Task Force Deluxe requires very little maintenance. Any maintenance that is needed can be performed in minutes.

BLEEDING THE SYSTEM
If the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, or the unit might be subjected to freezing conditions, you should bleed the system. Simply empty the contents of the water supply tank and install the cap back onto the tank. Operate the air/water syringe and highspeed handpiece with water coolant ‘on’ until just air comes through the water lines. Pack unit and store as normal. HANDPIECE FLUSH Flush the handpieces for about 5 seconds after every patient, and about 20 seconds at the beginning of each day.

GENERAL CLEANING
The external surfaces of the case should be cleaned using a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Any external surfaces of the unit 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. As described in the vacuum section, the saliva ejector vacuum system should be thoroughly cleaned after each use.

WATER LINES
Disinfect the water lines weekly. Prepare a 1:10 bleach solution (1 part household bleach to 10 parts water). Remove water reservoir and discard residual water. Replace empty water supply tank and air purge all waterlines. Fill water supply tank with bleach solution. Run bleach solution through all lines. Allow bleach solution to stand in lines for 10 minutes. Remove water supply tank and discard bleach. Flush water supply tank and all lines thoroughly with clean water. Air purge and leave lines dry until next clinical use.
