STERILIZATION AND
MAINTENANCE:
HANDPIECES
- Wipe with an alcohol
gauze. Clean and lubricate handpieces
with a cleaner/lubricant after each use and
before autoclaving. This will ensure proper
operation and a long service life for your
handpiece. Do not use a cleaner/lubricant
after autoclaving, only use before
sterilization. Follow the instructions provided
with the handpiece purchased for complete
maintenance instructions.
MOTORS
- The entire motor and cord
assembly supplied with your unit must be
surface sterilized by autoclave. Prevacuum
sterilize at 132º C (270º F) for 3 minutes.
Before autoclaving the motor and cord
assembly, always install the autoclaving
plug into the motor and motor connector. A
plug with sealing O-ring is supplied with
the motor. Remove the handpiece from the
motor and install plug as shown at right.
The included motor/handpiece holding
cradle is also fully autoclavable.
CONSOLE
- The exterior of the console
may be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth
moistened with mild detergent or disinfect-
ing solution.
