Acidic rinsing agents or neutralising agents should not be used!

8 Product life
The product life ends if the set torque is reached 5000 times.
Usually, frequent repreparing has little effect on these implements
– if suffi-
cient care is taken, and as long as the implement is undamaged and fully functioning. The end of the product’s service life is normally de-
termined by wear and damage caused during use and depends on many factors – including the type, duration and frequency of application,
as well as the handling storage and transportation of the implements.
Damaged, blunt or contaminated implements must not be used.
Josef Ganter GmbH is not liable for any damage or injury caused by misuse. The same applies for any damage, such as disproportionate
mechanical effects, crashes, overloading, etc., caused by improper repreparation or handling.
9 Repairs / maintenance
In delivered condition, the factory settings have an accuracy of ± 10% with regards to the adjustable torque value.
Josef Ganter GmbH offers a repair and inspection service for torque ratchets.
We recommend an annual inspection of the torque ratchet by the manufacturer.
If the implements are repaired by companies or persons which are not expressly authorised to do so by Josef Ganter GmbH, all guarantees
shall become null and void.
The implement must be visibly cleaned and sterilised according to these guidelines before being dispatched (e.g. by using a cover indicator
on sealed sterilised foil). Otherwise, the product will be returned to the sender at their expense and without further processing.
10 Disposal
If the implements can no longer be repaired or prepared, they should be disposed of according to the general waste management of prac-
tice or clinic waste. Regional regulations must be observed for the disposal.
