Removing a tool:
Align the arrow on the ferrule with the open padlock
Withdraw the tool by pulling on it
After insertion of an instrument, check its correct retention
with a slight axial movement.
It is essential that the motor is stopped and outside of the patient's
mouth whenever the instrument is inserted or extracted.
The MD (Im Instruments) does not require maintenance
work. Nevertheless, should you notice a functional defect in the
locking or gripping mechanism, this could mean that it is dam-
aged. In this case, immediately return the device to the Anthogyr
after-sales service department.
Make sure that the device does not have any areas of corrosion or
cracks, and check that it is working properly.
MD
lifecycle
If used in a proper manner, all
MD
parts have a lifecycle corre-
sponding to 250 sterilisation cycles.
However, these indications are not a warranty because wear may
appear prematurely, depending on how the
MD
is maintained
(cleaning and sterilisation).
VII. HYGIENE AND MAINTENANCE
Sterilisation of MD (Im Instruments) must be per
formed by properly trained and protected personnel, in
accordance with the applicable regulations. The sterilisation
protocol must be adapted for the risk of infection.
In order to avoid any risk of infection and injury, it is essen-
tial to wear protective gloves.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for each product
used. Observe the concentrations, lengths of exposure and
the lifespan of the products. Do not combine products and ob-
serve the provisions regarding their disposal.
Only use products that are intended for the maintenance of
medical and surgical equipment, compatible with stainless
steel (no chlorine compounds), and compatible with aluminium
(no soda).
Avoid the use of antiseptics that are intended for use on the skin
and on mucous membranes.
Avoid the use of products containing aldehydes, alcohol or other
products that are likely to bind proteins.
Preference should be given to detergents / disinfectants that are
pH neutral or slightly alkaline.
The device must be cleaned and sterilised after every procedure.
The motor must be disconnected or stopped before handling.
Instruments must not be connected to the MD Impactor.
The MD Impactor is not removable and is not submersible.
The instruments are submersible.
7.1. Manual preparation for sterilisation:

out as soon as possible after treatment (within max. 2 hours).
By brushing:
Brush under running water using a soft brush.
Clean the entire MD (Im Instruments) using a disinfectant
wipe.
Or by spraying:
Spray the disinfectant on to the MD (Im Instruments) and
wipe using a clean cloth.
Rinsing and drying
Rinse properly
1
Dry the entire MD (Im Instruments).
7.2. Automatic preparation for sterilisation:
Only use a washer-disinfector appropriate for the repro-
cessing of this type of MD (Im Instruments). Follow
the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the unit.
If the unit is equipped with nozzles for contra-angles: Fit the MD
Impactor onto the nozzle of the device.
If the unit is not equipped with nozzles for contra-angles: without
disassembling the MD impacor, position it with the tool connection
component pointing upwards. Position the parts so that any reten-
tion of fluid is avoided. Immobilise each part.
The thermal disinfection cycle must be at least 10 minutes at 93°
C (203°F).
Follow the instructions for use provided by the thermal disinfector
manufacturer, and in particular the recommendations regarding
the products that should or should not be used with the unit.
Observe the drying cycle (Caution: Do not exceed 140°C (284°F)
during the drying cycle)
Check that there is no residue and that all parts of the MD
(Im Instruments) are perfectly dry at the end of the cycle.
The MD impactor is not submersible.
7.3. Lubrication:
Wear a protective face mask.
Disconnect the MD (Impactor) from the motor before handling.
Remove the connected instrument in the MD (Impactor)
Check that the nozzle of the spray is the correct one for use with
the MD (Impactor).
Insert the aerosol spray at the back of the MD (Impactor).
Cover the head (connecting part) of the MD (Impactor) with a wipe.
Position the head (connecting part) of the MD (Impactor) down-
ward.
Spray several times, keeping the MD (Impactor) closed.
Wipe off surplus oil with a soft cloth or a wipe.
Lubricate after each decontamination and before each
sterilisation, and repeat in the event of prolonged use.
Keep away from heat and ignition sources. Smoking is
strictly prohibited!
7.4. Functional test:
This test must be performed every time prior to sterilisation.
Connect the MD (Impactor) to the motor and point the head
downwards. Run at low speed (5000 motor rpm) for 30 seconds in
order to clear the excess oil, then at full speed (10,000 motor rpm)
for 30 seconds. Wipe the MD (Impactor) with a disinfectant wipe if
the oil has dripped.
Note: If you notice overheating, irregularities, vibrations or abnor-
mal sounds during operation of the MD (Impactor) , immediately
contact your authorised technical service centre.
7.5. Sterilisation:
Resterilisation of reusable MDs must be performed by
properly trained and protected personnel, in accordance
with the applicable regulations. The resterilisation protocol must
be adapted for a risk of infection.
The MD (Im Instruments) and the accessories must
be sterilised before they are used for the first time, and
every time after they are used (after cleaning and disinfection).
Do not sterilise instruments unless they have been pre-disinfected,
cleaned, decontaminated, lubricated (only the MD Impactor) and
tested.
No disassembly of the MD is envisaged prior to performing
sterilisation.

: Temperature <38°C, demineralised water is recommended instead of running water, for example
if the latter contains too much chlorine (see the FD98-135 standard)
