6. Cleaning, Disinfection and Sterilization
6.1 Foreword
The parts for clinical application contamination are the outer surfaces of the
handpiece, tip and wrench. For hygiene and sanitary safety purpose, these
components must be cleaned, disinfected and sterilized before each usage to
prevent any contamination. This concerns the first use as well as the
subsequent uses. Comply with your national guidelines, standards and
requirements for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization.
Reprocessing procedures have only limited implications to these dental
instruments. The limitation of the numbers of reprocessing procedures is
therefore determined by the function / wear of the device. From the processing
side there is no maximum number of allowable reprocessing. The device
should no longer be reused in case of signs of material degradation.
In case of damage, the device should be reprocessed before sending back to
the manufacturer for repair.
