Sterilizing the handpieces
Replace the handpieces as soon as these become cracked or deformed, as these could fall in the wound area.
The Product operator must comply with the rules of the national commission for hygiene and disinfection.
Handpiece fitting / removal:
- rotate counter clockwise the handpiece for remove it.
- rotate clockwise the handpiece, until it to beat the head lamp and the rotation result impossible.
Cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing the handpiece:
The handpieces are made of plastic material resistant to heat and knocks (PPSU).
They can be cleaned with a neutral or lightly-alkaline detergent free of active chlorine.
To disinfect the handpieces, we suggest using alcohol or aldehyde-based products. The disinfectants must be
approved by the manufacturer for use on polyphenylsulfone (PPSU).
Before sterilizing, rinse the handpieces.
The handpieces can withstand about 300 steam sterilization cycles as follows:
-
steam sterilization at 121°C 1.3bar from 25 to 30 minutes,
or
-
steam sterilization at 134°C 2.3 bar for 4 minutes.
Position the handpieces straight with open side downwards.
Do not exceed a sterilization temperature of 134°C.
Avoid the handpieces coming into contact with other objects during the sterilizing process.
Each Product, over time, is subject to a certain amount of wear. Product safety and operation must therefore
be checked during inspection and maintenance intervals.
