The handpiece is detachable and designed for high temperature and pressure disinfection and sterilization (autoclavable). Follow your clinic's standard sterilization protocols for dental instruments.

1. Detach the handpiece from the main unit.
2. Clean the handpiece thoroughly to remove any debris.
3. Place the handpiece in an autoclave bag.

7.3 Nozzle Maintenance

The 0.7mm small caliber nozzle is designed to be less prone to blockage. However, if blockage occurs, carefully clear it using a fine wire or the cleaning tool provided in the kit. Ensure the nozzle is clear before each use to maintain optimal powder output.

8. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your COXO CP-1 Dental Air Polisher.

• No Powder Output:
  - Check if the powder reservoir is empty or if the powder is clumped. Refill or break up clumps.
  - Inspect the nozzle for blockages. Clean with a fine wire if necessary.
  - Ensure adequate air pressure from the dental unit.
• Weak Powder Output:
  - Verify that the input air pressure is within the recommended range (250-450kPa).
  - Check for any leaks in the connections between the handpiece and the dental unit.
• Water Leakage:
  - Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
  - Check O-rings for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
• Handpiece Not Rotating 360° Smoothly:
  - Disassemble the handpiece and clean any debris that might be obstructing rotation.
  - Lubricate moving parts if recommended by manufacturer guidelines (refer to specific product documentation if available).

9. User Tips

• Choosing Your Model: If your practice primarily focuses on supragingival cleaning, the 'supragingival' model is sufficient. For comprehensive periodontal treatment, including subgingival areas, the 'Two-in-one' model is recommended.
• Spare Parts: Consider purchasing extra handpieces (supragingival/subgingival) and white nozzles as spares to ensure uninterrupted service. Contact your supplier for availability.
• Powder Selection: Use high-quality dental polishing powder specifically designed for air polishers to prevent blockages and ensure optimal results. Consult with dental material suppliers for the most suitable product for prophylaxis with this jet.
• Sterilization Confirmation: The handpiece tips are autoclavable, ensuring proper hygiene and patient safety.
