How to use the QUATTROcare PLUS
The operation is intentionally simple and consists of three steps:
1. Insert the instruments
- Attach the handpieces, contra-angle handpieces, or turbines to the adapters
- Up to four instruments can be processed simultaneously
2. Close the unit
- Securely close the unit door
3. Press Start
- The maintenance cycle starts automatically
- Duration: approximately 1 minute (for up to four instruments)
Result:
Once the maintenance cycle is complete, the instruments are immediately ready for use or, depending on the intended application, ready for sterilization.
Special feature: Chuck maintenance
A standout feature of the QUATTROcare PLUS is its integrated chuck maintenance program.
Recommended use (once per week):
- Activate the chuck maintenance function (press and hold the button for at least 3 seconds)
- The LED indicates that the mode is active
- Attach the chuck maintenance attachment to the MULTIflex adapter
- Hold the instrument head against the adapter and start the process
- Keep the instrument head covered during the procedure
Why regular maintenance is essential
The service life of dental instruments largely depends on:
- Bearing quality
- Chuck system
- Regular lubrication
Comparison: Maintained vs. poorly maintained
| Condition | Result |
|---|---|
| Regularly maintained | Smooth operation and extended service life |
| Insufficiently maintained | Increased wear and more frequent repairs |
