Ascentcare AVLUXP VacuLUX Auto Clavable Moutpiece
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Intended Use
The VacuLUX Mouthpiece is intended for use by dental professionals for
isolation, bite block, cheek retractor, tongue guard and high-volume
evacuation.
Selecting the Mouthpiece:
To select the correct mouthpiece size, measure the patient’s interincisal
opening. If between sizes, we recommend selecting the smaller size.
Approximate Mouthpiece Size Guide by Interincisal Opening Measurements:
- Pediatric (AVLUXP): < 30 mm
- Small (AVLUXS): 30 mm
- Medium (AVLUXM): 30-45 mm
- Large (AVLUXL): > 45 mm
Attaching the Mouthpiece
Slide the Mouthpiece onto the device until the locking post(s) engage. To ease attachment, use water or mouthpiece lubricant to lubricate the inside surface of the Mouthpiece sleeve.
Placing the Mouthpiece
Moisten the Mouthpiece and the patient’s lips with water prior to placing the Mouthpiece within the oral cavity.
- Hold the sides of the isolation adapter with your index finger and thumb. With your other hand, fold the cheek retractor onto the tongue guard. Then fold the outside edges of the mouthpiece towards the center.
- Gently insert the mouthpiece, lining up the bite-block onto occlusal surfaces of the teeth, just distal to the mandibular cuspid. Instruct patient to rest their jaw on the bite block to secure.
- Place the cheek retractor into the buccal vestibule. Adjust the tongue guard in the lingual vestibule as needed. Move the bite block distally to provide more verti-cal working room. Reposition the patient’s lips as needed.
The VacuLUX mouthpiece was engineered for efficient & effective cleaning.
Simple-Sterile technology includes:
- Open flaps for easy access to mouthpiece interior
- One-piece design requiring no disassembly and reassembly

Warnings
Non-sterile Mouthpieces are individually packaged in bags and must be
sterilized before use according to sterilization instruction.
Be sure to use established protocols and patient monitoring when using the
Mouthpiece in conjunction with sedation dentistry. Patient management by a
certified anesthesiologist is strongly recommended.
Precautions
When performing dental procedures requiring high levels of blood evacuation,
it is recommended that the Mouthpiece be intermittently flushed with water to
prevent coagulation in the Mouthpiece to avoid loss of suction and light
transmission.
