3.2 CLEANING AND STERILIZATION BEFORE USE ON PATIENTS
The iLase and accessories are provided non-sterile. The cover is reusable and must be cleaned and
sterilized between patients to avoid cross-contamination. The tips are single-use only to avoid cross-
contamination and are designed to withstand a single sterilization cycle only; they must be disposed of
after single use in a biohazard medical waste Sharps container. Refer to section 6 “Cleaning and
Sterilization for complete instructions.

Place the batteries, either end first, in any one of the battery charging receptacles at the
top of the charging station. iLase batteries have contacts on both ends and allow placement into the
receptacle in either orientation. The batteries will connect automatically to the charging contacts when
inserted, and the charging indicator will illuminate with an amber color to indicate that the charging has
started. If the indicator illuminates with a green color, the battery is already charged and is ready for
use. Attaching the main body to the battery is optional, but not required to charge a battery.
The battery charging indicator on the front of the charger will display the charge condition of each of the
batteries placed in the charger. If no battery is installed, the charging indicator will be off.
