renewed preparation for use, thermal and chemical stresses will result in ageing of
the products. The specified maximum times of sterilization for File clip is 200 times.
The specified maximum times of sterilization for Touch probe and Lip hook is 1000
times.
In case of damage the device should be reprocessed before sending back to the
manufacturer for repair.
6.1 Preparation at the Point of Use:
Disconnect the file clip, touch probe and lip hook from the measuring wire.
Remove gross soiling f he instrument with co1d water (<40°C) immediately after
use. Don't use a fixating detergent or hot water (>40°C) as this can cause the fixation
0f residuals which may influence the result of the reprocessing process. Store the
instruments in a humid surrounding.
6.2 Transportation:
Safe storage and transportation to reprocessing area to avoid any damage and
contamination to environment.
6.3 Preparation for Decontamination:
The devices must be reprocessed in a disassembled state.
6.4 Pre-Cleaning:
Do a manual pre-cleaning, until the instruments are visually clean. Submerge the
instruments in a cleaning solution and flush the lumens with a water jet pistol with
cold tap water for at least 10 seconds. Clean the surfaces with a soft bristol brush.
6.5 Cleaning:
Regarding cleaning/ disinfection, rinsing and drying, it is to distinguish between
manual and automated reprocessing methods. Preference is to be given to automated
reprocessing methods, especially due to the better standardizing potential and
industrial safety.
