Clean, disinfect, and sterilize new or repaired handpieces and instruments before first use and between each
patient use. Only use sterilized handpieces and instruments during treatment. Non-sterilized handpieces and
instruments may cause bacterial or viral infections. Always sterilize handpieces and instruments after operation.
Always examine unit components for damage before commencing treatment. Damaged components must not
be used and must be replaced.
Use for intended purposes only. Failure to observe the operating instructions may result in the patient or user
suffering serious injury or the product being damaged, possibly beyond repair. Before using this product, make
sure that you have studied and understood the operating instructions.
Do not install where there is a risk of an explosion. The system is not intended for operation in the presence of
flammable anesthetics or gases.
The lens for the electric motor LED is soft and can be damaged. If the lens needs to be cleaned, use a lint-free
swab and isopropyl alcohol - do not use other solvents as they might adversely react with the LED assembly.
The system’s electric motor is not recommended for use with endodontic files that have torque limit
requirements less than 100 g-cm.
Do not use this device for dental implant procedures.
Do not run saline solutions through the water system -- saline will rust the water filters.
For use by qualified and trained personnel only.
CONTRAINDICATION: Ultrasonic oscillations emitted by the optional Ultrasonic Scaler may prevent the proper
function of cardiac pacemakers. Therefore, Aseptico recommends that patients with a cardiac pacemaker
should not be treated with the Ultrasonic Scaler component of the AEU-525S System.
The optional Ultrasonic Scaler instrument tips oscillate at high frequency and can fracture during operation. To
help prevent the tips from fracturing and possibly injuring the patient, always follow the scaler manufacturer's
operating instructions and recommended ultrasonic power settings.
Operating the system without using the High or Low Volume Evacuation can cause the compressor motor to
cycle on/off, possibly affecting other electrically powered equipment sharing the same circuit.
Dispose of electronic waste and waste containing amalgam in accordance with local regulations.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in
improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to
verify that they are operating normally.
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this
equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this
equipment and result in improper operation.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas)
should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the unit, including cables specified by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
Do not stare into the handmotor LED! The light from the hand motor LED may cause eye injury.
Do not stare into the scaler leds! The light from the scaler LEDs may cause eye injury.
Under certain conditions of use, the tip of the dental drill, handpiece, or hand motor may exceed 43 °C (109 °F)
and can cause thermal injury to the patient. To avoid the risk of overheating, observe the following practices:
• Always operate a high-speed handpiece with water coolant.
• Do not operate the handmotor continuously for long periods of time. Use the appropriate duty cycle stated
for the hand motor and handpiece selected.
• Only touch the bur or file to the tooth of the patient; avoid contacting other parts of the patient with the
device.
• Ensure that the ratio setting is set to match the gear ratio of the handpiece being used.
• Thoroughly clean and lubricate the E-type handpieces after each use and before sterilization.
• Follow the instructions provided with the handpiece from the manufacturer for complete operating and
maintenance instructions.
Under certain conditions of use, the tip of the optional ultrasonic scaler may exceed 43 °C (109 °F) and can
cause thermal injury to the patient. To avoid the risk of overheating, observe the following practices:
• Do not use the scaler dry. If used dry, the Instrument Tip will heat immediately.
• Verify that the scaler coolant flow available at the tip is no less than 20ml/min before use on a patient.
• Follow the scaler manufacturer's operating instructions and recommended ultrasonic power settings for
each tip.
• Never use the scaler on metal or porcelain restorations.

Disinfect the water lines weekly. Prepare a
1:10 bleach solution (1 part household
bleach to 9 parts water). Remove water
bottle and discard residual water. Replace
empty water bottle and air purge all
waterlines. Fill water bottle with bleach
solution. Run bleach solution through all
lines. Allow bleach solution to stand in
lines for 10 minutes. Remove water bottle
and discard bleach. Flush water bottle
and all lines thoroughly with clean
water. Air purge and leave lines dry until
next clinical use.

drain, turn the black knob clockwise (follow
arrow on “DRAIN
” label); to close drain,
turn the knob counterclockwise. Do not
overtighten.
WASTE SYSTEM CLEANING:
Empty and clean the waste system whenever
the level alert occurs. Also empty and clean it
routinely once a day or before the unit is to be
shipped or stored. Follow these steps:
1) Empty all waste from the waste container,
including any solids trapped in the HVE strainer in
the waste container lid.
2) Prepare approximately 2/3 liter of 10%
bleach/water solution in a separate container.
Submerge the end of the high-vacuum ejector (HVE)
into this bleach solution and pull no more than 1/3
liter of the solution through the line into the waste
container. Repeat this process for the saliva ejector
(low vacuum) line. IMPORTANT: The solution will
enter the waste container at a very high rate -- Care
must be taken not to overfill the container’s waste
compartments.
3) Discard bleach solution. All components of the
waste container, including the lid assembly and
waste container strainer, can be safely rinsed with
10% bleach solution. (NOTE: Take care to ensure
that water is kept off the level-sensor electrical
connector on the case.) Rinse and dry tanks and the
lid. If unit is to be shipped or stored, hang vacuum
lines vertically to allow any residual water to drain
before packing.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
Problem:
Correction:
Unit will not start:
• Check system power connection.
• Check if both circuit breaker switches are On.
• Check if waste container sensor is connected.
• Check if waste container is full.
• Check if fan is blocked or inoperative.
Unit starts but trips circuit breaker:
• Check source circuit to see if it is a minimum of 15A.
• Check voltage selector switch for proper voltage.
NOTE: Operating the unit off an extension cord is not recommended.
No water pressure:
• Check water supply bottle water level. Verify that cap is tight and not cross-threaded.
• Check that water supply pressure toggle is in the ‘PRESSURE’ position.
Insufficient vacuum:
• Check HVE and saliva ejector vacuum hose assemblies for blockage; empty the HVE strainer.
• Check that the waste container lid is properly seated and tightly secured.
• Check that holder toggle switch is On.
Insufficient handpiece operation:
• Check the pressure gauge on the side of the air/electric module and ensure that system pressure is sufficient.
• Check that handpiece tubing is untangled and not crimped.
• Check handpiece connection for missing or broken gasket.
No water to handpiece:
• Check that handpiece water toggle on side of air/electric module is ‘On’.
• Check that the water flow control valve to the handpiece is open (counterclockwise).
No coolant air to handpiece:
• Check that handpiece air toggle on side of air/electric module is ‘On’.
• Check that the air flow control valve to the handpiece is open (counterclockwise).
Electric motor control panel does not
light up when on:
• Press Standby Button on control panel.
Electric motor control panel lights up
when turned on, but handpiece does
not turn:
• Check motor plug connection.
• Depress foot switch.
• Turn holder toggle switch toward red dot.
• Increase Torque setting
• Check that a file or bur is properly seated in the handpiece.
Electric motor slowing down or
sluggish:
• Increase torque setting.
• Check for dirty, under-lubricated handpiece.
• Check if handpiece lubricant is draining into motor. After lubricating and before
autoclaving, stand handpiece on its base to let excess lubricant drain out.
Electric motor handpiece light does
not turn on:
• Confirm that handpiece is a fiberoptic illumination type.
• Press illumination button on control panel to turn light On and/or increase light intensity
Vacuum doesn’t turn off when hoses
are in their holders:
• Ensure that HVE and saliva ejector vacuum valves are placed firmly in their holders.
• Check vacuum On/Off toggles on holders.
Pressure fails to stabilize:
• Check that air and water bottles are tight. Check line and fittings for air leaks.
Pressure fails to turn off at 55 PSI:
• Check for broken cable to pressure switch.
Unit fails to build pressure:
• Check that bottles are tight. Check wires for breaks to pressure regulation switch.
Red LED on the waste container is lit: • Empty full waste container.
• Check waste level sensor connection. Verify that connector contacts are dry.
• Check that floats in waste container move freely.
Compressor is on, but gauge shows
no increase in pressure:
• Check unloader valve to see if the valve is switched. Check the line from the compressor to
the valve for a rupture. Check the electrical connections to the valve.
HVE vacuum switch is On (toward
red dot), but vacuum doesn’t activate
when hose is removed:
• Inspect the toggle lever on the vacuum holder to see if it is stuck. Loosen the setscrew under the switch and adjust the switch for proper operation. Check instrument
control switches on the air/electric module assembly.
HVE vacuum pressure seems lower:
• Check to see if the waste container lid is properly seated and tightly secured.
Saliva ejector switch is On (toward
red dot), but vacuum doesn’t activate
when hose is removed:
• Inspect the toggle lever on the vacuum holder to see if it is stuck. Loosen the setscrew under the switch and
adjust the switch for proper operation. Check the toggling connections to the air pilot valve and pump. Check to
see if the air pilot valve is functioning by removing the line to the pump and seeing if air is present.
Unit was working and
compressor/vacuum pump stops:
• *If interior of case is very hot, wait 20 minutes for internal over-temperature thermostat to
reset.
