Autoclavable Syringe
CONTENTS
Your Autoclavable Continental or
Autoclavable Easy-Clean Syringe is a threeway air and water syringe featuring a patented
quick disconnect autoclavable tip system.
1. Turn off the unit’s master switch.
2. Purge the water and air lines by holding the
syringe over a sink or basin and pressing the
water and air buttons.
3. Disconnect the old syringe by turning the tubing
connector nut counterclockwise.
4. Separate the syringe and tubing.
5. Connect the A-dec syringe to the tubing and
turn the nut clockwise until it is finger tight.
6. Depress separately the air and water buttons to
verify air and water flow.
7. Depress both the air and water buttons
simultaneously to verify desired spray pattern.
If a change of flow is desired, see Syringe Air
and Water Flow Control on page 8.

OPERATION
About Your New Autoclavable Syringe
Installation
All three syringes feature two buttons that provide
three-way, modulated control of syringe water, air,
and spray functions.
The button functions are indicated with
internationally recognized icons for air and water
(see Figure 1).
All three syringe heads are factory equipped
with a non-locking syringe tip retainer assembly.
This style of syringe tip retainer (identified by a
smooth exterior surface, see Figure 2) allows the
syringe tip to be easily removed and installed.
The non-locking syringe tip retainer assembly is
not appropriate for use as cheek retractor
because it allows the syringe tip to rotate.

Locking Syringe Tip Retainer Assembly
The syringe tip may be locked in place, allowing
it to be used for cheek retraction, when the locking
syringe tip retainer assembly option has been
ordered. Refer to page 12 for further information.
Heated Syringe Water
Warm water may be delivered through the
syringe, eliminating the discomfort that can be
caused by spraying cold water on sensitive tissues,
when either the circulating warm water or heated
syringe tubing option has been ordered. Refer to
pages 15 through 17 for further information.
Quick Disconnect Syringe Terminal
The syringe head may be removed from the
syringe tubing without shutting the delivery
system unit off when the quick disconnect syringe
terminal option has been ordered. Refer to page 17
for further information.

Optional Configurations
Your syringe is packaged with two specially
designed A-dec syringe tips. These tips have three
grooves and a distinguishing “O” or “I” and an
A-dec “a” marking (see Figure 3).

Warning
USE ONLY A-DEC SYRINGE TIPS.
A-dec syringe tips have been engineered and manufactured for use with A-dec syringes. Using syringe
tips manufactured by a company other than
A-dec can result in syringe tip ejection.
To ensure that the syringe will perform properly, it
is important that you install the tip correctly.
Push the syringe tip into the syringe tip retainer
assembly. As you push the tip in you will feel two
“clicks” as O-rings inside the syringe tip retainer
assembly slide into the grooves. If you do not feel
two “clicks” when installing the syringe tip, do not use
the syringe. The O-rings inside the syringe tip
retainer assembly are damaged and may allow
the syringe tip to be ejected. The syringe tip
retainer assembly must be repaired prior to using
the syringe.
When properly installed none of the grooves on
the A-dec syringe tip are visible (see Figure 4).
After installing a tip, point the syringe at the
floor and press the air button several times to be
sure the tip is properly installed.
An improperly installed A-dec syringe tip allows
water to enter the air tubing in the syringe tip.
