8. Sterilization
• Sterilize the contra angle only.
• For the sterilization method, we recommend the autoclaving.
• Autoclave sterilization required after each patient as noted be low:
a) Brush the dirt off the surface of the contra angle, and wipe it off with a cotton
cloth moistened with surgical spirit. Do not use a metal brush.
b) Lubricate the head with the SPRAY/SPRAY Plus. (Refer to the “7 (1) Lubricating
Contra Angle.”)
c) Insert the head into an autoclave pouch and seal it.
d) Autoclavable up to a max. 135°C (275° F). ex. Autoclave for 20 min. at 121° C
(250° F), or 15 min. at 132° C (270° F).
e) Keep the hand piece in the autoclave pouch to keep it clean until you use it.
* Sterilization at 12 1°C for more than 15 minutes is recommended by EN 13060 or
EN554.
Caution
• Do not heat sterilize the motor handpiece.
• Do not wipe with not clean or immerse in high acid water or sterilizing solutions
