Conformity Assessment:
Medical Device Directive Annex V
Congratulations!
You have purchased North America’s nest dental delivery system:
• Easily access all your controls from the front
• Open an easy-to-li work surface to access the industry’s largest space for ancillaries
• Adjust the height of your delivery system to accommodate you and your assistant
• Ensure ancillaries stay cool thanks to a vented, all-aluminum, lifetime-warranted chassis
• Keep instruments and materials organized by adding up to four tub/cassette trays, a monitor mount and organizer bins
• Easily reach your burr block, electric handpiece attachments, mirrors, explorer and more on a separate dentist work surface
• Open the door to four-handed dentistry using handpiece lockouts that allow you to change burrs while another handpiece is in use
• Adjust your handpiece holder angle and drive air pressure using the toolkit provided
And, last but not least, experience the benets of xed handpieces. ese are the #1 reason that dentists are choosing the Forest 7000/
Rear Mount Side Delivery. Unlike those in chair-mounted controls, handpieces on the 7000 are ergonomically smart and “spatially
recognized,” so you can reach them without taking your eyes out of the mouth, no matter where you are positioned. No more moving the
control for patient entry and exit. Your patients will feel more comfortable and at ease. We call it built-in marketing.
Please feel free to contact me personally with any questions you may have about the 7000, or with any and all ideas for us to improve:

Indications for Use/Intended Use e Forest Dental Units are intended to serve as a base for ancillary dental devices and accessories
by providing air, water, vacuum, and low voltage electrical power to hand-held dental instruments. e Forest Dental Units are intended
for use by dental practitioners to provide diagnostic and therapeutic treatment to dental patients in a clinical environment. ere are no
contraindications for this product.
Expected Service Life With proper maintenance and service, Forest Dental products are designed for a dened “service life” under
normal use (based on approximately 50 patients per week) of 5 years from the date of manufacture, with the exception of serviceable
components. Some components may become obsolete due to changes in technology or due to product improvements and may necessitate
product updates or upgrades. At the end of the dened service life, all products require examination by a trained service technician prior to
continued use. Following this, additional examinations are required every 5 years. Minimum required servicing includes regular replacement
of the exhaust canister gauze and solids canister disposable trap as well as periodic evaluation and replacement of the utility box air/water
particle lters, anti-retraction valves, water bottle and functional assessment of product.
Water Line Maintenance
Dental unit water lines, reservoir water bottles and water distillers/processors contain bacteria (unless sterile water is used), measured in colony
forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) of heterotrophic water bacteria. e bacteria, if not controlled, can reach elevated levels and form into
biolms on the walls of the plastic tubing that can be resistant to microbial treatment.
e CDC recommends using procedural water in routine dentistry that does not exceed 500 CFU/mL. To achieve these levels, Forest suggests
an action level of 250 CFU/mL to limit microbial proliferation. By closely following both the Forest and water treatment product manufacturer’s
instructions for use (IFU), it is possible to maintain procedural water within CDC guidelines.
WARNING: Refer to Forest Dental Unit Water Line Maintenance Operator’s Guide for monitoring and disinfection of your dental unit water
lines and dental unit reservoir bottle as well the monitoring of source water.
WARNING: Operation of delivery system ancillary devices may cause electromagnetic interference with other devices in the immediate vicinity.
In the event of an emergency, disconnect power to the dental system. Refer to Forest General Information Operator’s Guide for EMC table.
CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a dental practitioner licensed by the law of the state in which he/she
practices to use or order the use of the device.
CAUTION: No user-serviceable parts are located in the dental system (except for handpiece exhaust canister gauze, and vacuum canister
disposable trap refer to page 7). Air and water particle lters located in the utility box are non-serviceable (35μm); replace using Forest
authorized dealer if clogged or low ow.

Adapter
Self-Contained Clean Water System with Quick-Disconnect Bottle
e self-contained water system allows you to isolate your practice from the municipal water supply. e
self-contained water system uses a pressurized bottle to supply water to the dental unit giving you full
control of the source and quality of the water.
1. Ensure that the dental unit is turned o. Fill the water bottle from a known potable source with the
adapter attached, then install on the manifold by turning clockwise (refer to Figure 1).
2. Turn the dental unit on and check for leakage at the bottle. If air or water leakage is observed,
turn the dental unit o and allow several seconds for air pressure to be released from the bottle.
WARNING: Never attempt to remove the bottle when it is pressurized.
3. Remove bottle and install a new bottle with adapter.
4. Turn the dental unit on and check for leakage at the bottle as previously described.
WARNING: Only use water bottles supplied by Forest. Do not use so drink bottles which are thin
walled and may rupture when under pressure. When using self-contained water systems, all plastic
bottles should be inspected for damage prior to every use. If a bottle appears to be damaged in any
manner, it should be replaced. When lling the reservoir water bottle, leave an air gap at the top of
bottle to allow the bottle to pressurize. Do not attempt to adjust the water bottle pressure. Bottle
pressure is factory pre-set at 40 PSI Pressurizing the water bottle over 40 PSI may cause the bottle
to rupture.
Figure 1.
Quick-disconnect bottle
NOTE: is quick-disconnect
bottle allows for a quick and
easy way to change water
bottles. Simply push up and
turn clockwise to install bottle.
Turn counter clockwise to
remove bottle.
WARNING: Refer to Forest Operatory Equipment Asepsis Operator’s Guide for infection control procedures.
WARNING: Self-contained water systems do not control bacteria levels or prevent biolm from accumulating in the dental unit water lines. is
can only be achieved by ushing, monitoring and maintaining the dental unit water lines according to Forest Dental Unit Water Line Maintenance
O perator’s Guide. Dental units do not deliver sterile water. Sterile solutions must be used as a coolant/irrigant for all surgical procedures from an
isolated source (such as a sterile bulb syringe or sterile tubing that bypasses DUWL) as recommended by the CDC.
WARNING: Isolated water sources (as opposed to city water hook-up) are highly recommended to allow full control of the source and quality of
water circulating through the dental unit water line.

Located inside every control head (Euro: Canister underneath control head) is an exhaust canister. e sole purpose is to trap excess oil to
prevent it from spraying the inside of your control head while exhausting your handpieces (refer to Figure 3).
Before exhausting the handpieces, make sure that there is a 2” x 2” gauze pad inside the canister. is is to collect and absorb the excess oil.
To prevent handpiece lubrication from contaminating the interior of the control head, make certain the drip exhaust lines remain in the
canister.
