Illustration: The A-dec ICV Vacuum-Line Cleaner unit with controls and fluid indicator, and showing how to fill the tank.

Barrier Protection

A-dec recommends barrier protection for all applicable touch and transfer surfaces to prevent cross-contamination during dental procedures.

Requirements: In the USA, barriers must be produced under Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP). For regions outside the USA, refer to local medical device regulations.

Note: For proper use and disposal of barriers, see the barrier manufacturer's instructions.

Important: For cleaning and disinfection recommendations where barriers are not practical or are compromised, see the A-dec Equipment Asepsis Guide (p/n 85.0696.00).

Image: A hand cleaning a surface with a wipe, illustrating barrier protection.

Control Center Protection

Use standard 4" x 6" barrier film (blue or clear) on the control center screen to support asepsis protocols. Standard touchscreen wipes or cleaner can be used for routine cleaning. Use a disinfectant wipe if the barrier is compromised.

Caution: Prevent liquid from dripping into seams and housing. Do not use spray applicators for cleaners or disinfectants on the control center.

Illustration: The Control Center touchscreen displaying time and timer functions.

Surface Management

To preserve your investment, use barriers where possible. For cleaning and disinfection, use the least harmful EPA-registered disinfectants that provide necessary protection while minimizing equipment harm.

Least Harmful: Barriers, EPA-registered disinfecting wipes (e.g., quaternary ammonium chlorides with <25% isopropyl alcohol), EPA-registered disinfecting sprays (high-dilution, water-based phenols), mild dishwashing liquid and water (for cleaning only).

Note: Disinfecting wipes are generally less harmful than sprays due to reduced overspray and more consistent application. Always follow disinfectant manufacturer's directions.

Most Harmful: Sodium hypochlorite (bleach), hydrogen peroxide (pH <4), isopropyl alcohol (>40%), products with abrasives, abrasive applicators/scrubbers.

Important: For a quick reminder of these guidelines, see the A-dec Inspire Asepsis Quick Reference (p/n 86.0632.00). For more details, see the A-dec Equipment Asepsis Guide (p/n 85.0696.00) available at www.a-dec.com.

Surface Cleaning Guidelines

Remove/Install Base Covers

Cabinet base covers are easily removed for cleaning or to access utilities. Pull covers straight out to remove. Reinstall by attaching to magnets or spring clips in their original locations. Place rounded corner covers on front corners and square covers on back corners.

Caution: Base covers are held by high-strength magnets. Hold by the edges to avoid pinching fingers.

Note: Some base covers may vary in shape and location but attach similarly.
