Can my Primea Advanced Air Turbine be sterilized in a sterilizer?

Yes, if your Primea Advanced Air Turbine is labelled with the symbol "Sterilizable up to the stated temperature".

Can my Primea Advanced Air Turbine be prepared in a thermo washer disinfector?

Yes, if your Primea Advanced Air Turbine is labelled with the symbol "thermo washer disinfectable".

I have just purchased a new W&H Primea Advanced Air Turbine. How can I activate it?

It is not sufficient to purchase the Primea Advanced Air Turbine alone. In order to be able to operate it, you need the entire Primea Advanced Air System – consisting of a turbine, control system, user interface (UI) and the supply hose with Roto Quick coupling. You can add this as an add-on or built-in solution to/in your dental unit.

In which versions can I purchase the Primea Advanced Air System? What are my installation options?

W&H can offer you the Primea Advanced Air System as an external add-on which you can connect to your dental unit. To do this, you need a spare supply hose for your dental unit, a minimum operating pressure of 5 bar and the possibility to connect the control system to the mains power supply. Please contact your authorized W&H service partner to check the inlet pressure of the additional air supply hose. The Primea Advanced Air Built-in System is integrated into a dental unit by selected dental unit manufacturers or their service technicians.

How can I integrate the Primea Advanced Air Built-in into my unit?

How do I connect the Primea Advanced Air Add-on to my unit?

You can connect the external Primea Advanced Air System to the dental unit. To do this, you need a spare supply hose for your dental unit, a minimum operating pressure of 5 bar and the possibility to connect the control system to the mains power supply. Please contact an authorized W&H service partner to check the inlet pressure of the additional air supply hose.

Should I always call my authorized W&H service partner first before I send devices/instruments for repair?

If you are unsure of the cause of a problem, it is better to contact your authorized W&H service partner first and talk to a service technician. Together with the service technician, malfunctions may be resolved or it may be determined which items should be sent for repair.

What do I do if my Primea Advanced Air Turbine does not achieve sufficient power/speed?

Please contact your authorized W&H service partner to check the Primea Advanced Air System.

Which rotary instruments can be used with Primea Advanced Air Turbines?

Primea Advanced Air Turbines with small heads (Model RG-/RK--97 L): 16 mm to 21 mm The diameter of the working part is limited to a maximum of 2 mm. Follow the operating instructions of the manufacturer. When using longer or shorter rotary instruments the user must ensure by correct selection of the operating conditions, that there is no danger to the user, patient or third parties.

Which speed setting should I use on the Primea Advanced Air System?

Within the adjustable speed range of 60,000 to 320,000 revolutions, you can set the maximum permitted speed for the respective rotary instrument as specified by the manufacturer.

What is the maximum rotary instrument length approved by W&H for Primea Advanced Air Turbines?

Primea Advanced Air Turbines with small heads (Model RG-/RK-97 L): 16 mm to 21 mm

How does the Roto Quick coupling's W&H Click & Pull System work? How do I remove a Primea Advanced Air Turbine?

Pull the retention sleeve of the Roto Quick coupling back. The turbine can now be easily removed from the Roto Quick coupling. Forcefully pulling the Primea Advanced Air Turbine may cause damage. If excessive force is required to remove the turbine, make sure that the retention sleeve of the Roto Quick coupling can be moved without any problems.

How is the Primea Advanced Air System cleaned? How is it prepared?

For detailed instructions, see the chapter "Hygiene and maintenance" in the respective instructions for Use.

Does the Primea Advanced Air Built-in need to be serviced?

The built-in electronic components do not need to be serviced separately. However, regular servicing should be carried out together with the dental unit at the legally required intervals. This will ensure the proper functioning and safety of the components. For details, see the chapter "Service" in the respective instructions for Use.

Does the Primea Advanced Air Add-on need to be serviced?

Regular servicing of the Primea Advanced Air Add-on including the accessories should be carried out at least once every three years, unless shorter intervals are prescribed by law. The regular service must only be performed by an authorised W&H service partner. For details, see the chapter "Service" in the respective instructions for Use.

Can turbines from other manufacturers be operated in a Primea Advanced Air System?

This is possible. In order to operate standard turbines (from W&H and other manufacturers), the control system of the Primea Advanced Air System can be changed over to standard turbines mode. Turbines which can be connected to the standard 6-hole connection are then operated with a constant 3 bar operating pressure.

What features do the two operating modes "Power" and "Tactile" offer?

In "Power" mode, the set speed is also constantly maintained when pressure mounts on the rotary instrument, which translates to a higher removal rate. The "Tactile" mode permits a reduction in the removal rate when pressure mounts on the rotary instrument.

- Advanced Air technology
  
  Advanced Air technology
  
  With the Advanced Air technology, loss of speed is a thing of the past. A sensor in the head of the turbine measures the actual rotation speed of the bur on the tooth constantly. As soon as the speed threatens to slow, the control module adjusts the air supply immediately so as to ensure the constant removal of tooth structure.
- Automatic power adjustment
  
  Air control
  
  Speed setting
  You can set the required/recommended bur speed for the respective application on the display.
  
  Speed check
  The speed actually measured in the bur head is checked against the set speed.
  
  Speed regulation
  If the actual speed deviates from the set value, the air supply is accordingly adjusted immediately.
- Tactile feedback
  
  Additional function: operating mode
  
  Whilst the set speed is always maintained constant under increasing pressure in »Power« mode, »Tactile« mode permits reduction of the speed. This makes it possible to perform sensitive steps with even more control and even more minimally invasively.
