Air Fx Irrigator Instructions for Use - EN
2.5 Preparing the Irrigator for First Use
The Air Fx requires a power source with ground and either 115VAC or 230VAC, based on the model of the
device.
The Air Fx is ventilated by a fan at the back of the device. Do not place the Air Fx near a radiator or other
heating source. Provide at least 10 cm (4 in) of free space behind the unit to provide adequate circulation.
Filling the Water Reservoir
The Air Fx will be shipped from Interacoustics without any
Please fill according to the following instructions.
1. Unscrew the cap to the water reservoir on the top of the irrigator.
2. Fill the reservoir with
level label.
3. Connect the syringe and tubing to the Fill / Drain Water Outlet (see Figure 2). Fully push the tubing into
the Fill / Drain Water Outlet (about 1" of tubing), and then gently pull on the tubing to verify the
connection is secure.
4. Switch the Fill / Drain Valve to the Fill / Drain position.
5. Draw back the syringe to draw the air out of the internal tubing and draw the
water
into syringe.
6. Set the Fill / Drain Valve to the Run position.
7. Disconnect the syringe from the tubing and squirt any
the reservoir.
8. Reconnect the syringe.
9. Repeat steps 4 to 8 to draw the air out again. Repeat this drawing process until all of the air is removed
from the internal lines, leaving only
least 2 full syringes of
10. Set the Fill / Drain Valve to the Run position.
11. Disconnect the syringe and tubing. The tubing can be removed by pushing on the sides of the gray
gasket around the tubing while pulling on the tubing.
12. Screw the cap back on the water reservoir.
13. Turn on the Air Fx. Run for one minute. Turn off the Air Fx. Repeat steps 3 through 11 to ensure the air
bubbles have been removed from the system.
2.6 Installing the Air Fx USB Drivers
The device drivers will need to be installed whether the Air Fx is used as a standalone device or used in
conjunction with the Interacoustics VNG software. Connect the USB cable to the back of the irrigator and to
an available USB port on your computer. Use a dedicated USB port for the irrigator to prevent having to
reinstall the drivers at a later time.
Once the irrigator is connected to the computer, turn on the Air Fx. Windows will launch the "Found New
Hardware Wizard" and automatically install the drivers.
2.7 Using Air Fx in Conjunction with Interacoustics VNG Software
Interacoustics VNG 7.06 software and later can be set to work in conjunction with the Air Fx air irrigator. By
default the software will enable communication with the Air Fx irrigator. If the Air Fx irrigator is sent for
service or has USB connection issues, then manual control can be enabled from the Inteacoustics software.
Launch the Interacoustics software, then go to Setup > System. Change the "Irrigator Control" option to
Manual if the Air Fx is not to communicate with the Interacoustics software. The default setting is
