Introduction

The Kreativ Multi-Operatory Air Abrasion Accessory is an accessory extending the
use of the Mach 5.0 and the Mach 5.0 Plus (Mach 5/5+) family of air abrasion

maintaining the remote control capabilities of the Mach 5/5+ system in both
operatories. Simultaneous operation in both operatories is not supported.

Every attempt has been made to make this manual a comprehensive overview of the

General Information and Features

The Kreativ Multi-Operatory Accessory offers the capability of extending the use of a
Mach 5/5+ Air Abrasion system into two dental operatories without the additional
cost of a second air abrasion system, or the requirement of moving the air abrasion
unit between the two operatories. The air abrasion system can be located up to 16
feet from either operatory.

The Multi-Operatory Accessory uses the same air controlling technology as the Mach
5/5+ to reliably route abrasive/air to either of the selected operatories. The unit
automatically senses when a handpiece is removed from its cradle, and activates the
related footswitch. The other operatory is locked out from use or input whenever the
handpiece from the operatory in use is uncradled.

Other features of the Kreativ Multi-Operatory Accessory include:

• Second Remote and footswitch is provided for the second operatory

• Automatic blanking of idle remote display

• Convenient access to pinch tubes for periodic maintenance

• Direct mounting to front of Mach 5/5+ system

• Optional rear-mounting capability

• Ability to bypass remote when handpiece is removed for sterilization

• Optional dental chair integration kit to eliminate multiple footswitches
