saliva), repeat the etching procedure with a reaction time
of max. 10 seconds.
The reaction time on unprepared enamel (e.g. fissure
sealants) is 30–60 seconds. If the enamel is selectively
etched, use a reaction time of 15–30 seconds.
Refilling empty Total Etch syringes
Empty 2-gram syringes can be
conveniently refilled with the
contents of the Total Etch
Jumbo syringe up to 15 times.
Important
Although the 2-gram syringes are equipped with a plunger
safety stop, it is absolutely necessary to wear gloves,
protective goggles and a face mask for safety reasons.
– Remove the screw-on cap from the 30-gram Jumbo
syringe and the empty 2-gram syringe.
– Join the tips of the two syringes using a twisting, clock-
wise motion. Make sure that the two syringes are firmly
connected. Note: Do not strip the thread.
– Refill the small syringe by slowly and steadily pulling
back the plunger of the small syringe. Simultaneously
exert light pressure on the plunger of the jumbo syringe
using the other hand to support the refilling process.
– Avoid overfilling the small syringe.
– Under no circumstances should you exceed the
plunger safety stop of the small syringe due to the
risk of acid burn!
– Do not point the syringes at people during refilling.
– Do not fill etchant from the 2-gram syringe back into the
Jumbo syringe.
– Disconnect the two syringes using a counter-clockwise
twist.
– Replace the screw-on cap on the Jumbo syringe.
– The syringe is now ready for use. Attach an application
tip onto the 2-gram syringe. Apply the etchant as descri-
bed above.
– Use only the Total Etch application tips delivered with
this package. The use of other application tips may have
an adverse effect on the viscosity of the etchant.
– In order to ensure traceability, only the enclosed 2-gram
syringes should be refilled with the contents of the
Jumbo syringe delivered with the same package.
– Please indicate the LOT number on the Jumbo syringe in
case of any query.
Warning
When filling the 2-gram syringe, always wear
protective goggles and gloves.
