CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Cleaning Instructions
The cartridge dispensing guns may be cleaned by scrubbing with hot water and soap or
detergent. The cartridges or used tips, if left in place on syringe cartridges for storage, exposed
to spatter or spray of body fluids or that may have been touched by contaminated hands, or
oral tissues, should be disinfected with a hospital-level disinfectant. Acceptable disinfectants
are those that are EPA-registered as tuberculocidal. Sodium hypochlorite (5.25%), isopropyl
alcohol and dual or synergized quaternaries are approved disinfectants. Water-based
disinfectant solutions are preferred. Use impregnated wipes not sprays.
NOTE:
Wipe cartridge
GENTLY, vigorous wiping may destroy the label.
Some phenolic based agents and iodophor based products may cause surface staining. Agents
containing organic solvents, such as alcohol may tend to dissolve the plastic dispenser and
plunger. The disinfectant manufacturer’s directions should be followed properly for optimum
results.
Disinfection of the Bite Registration Material
The impression should be disinfected with a hospital-level disinfectant. Acceptable disinfectants
are those that are EPA-registered as tuberculocidal. Iodophors, sodium hypochlorite (5.25%),

polyvinyl siloxane material, thoroughly soak by spraying or immerse the impression in any
recommended hospital level disinfectant except neutral glutaraldehyde for the contact time
recommended by the disinfectant manufacturer for optimum results. Water-based disinfectant
solutions are preferred.
