Correct handling of the torque release
•
The pressure point for accurate torque release is only on the handle of the adjusting nut (see arrow in
•
Release by the press of a finger.
•
Do not touch the handle with thumb and index finger to release.
•
When the set torque is reached the scale sleeve snaps around the axis in the ratchet head. The release can be heard and felt.
Do not continue to press after the torque is released. The ratchet or dental components could be damaged.
When the handle is released, the ratchet returns to its original position.

4 Material
The product is made from the following materials:
High-grade stainless steel
PEEK
5 (Re-)preparation
The torque ratchets will be delivered by Josef Ganter GmbH in a pre-defined state of cleanliness. They are optimally adjusted to the further
handling by the end user described here. The work methods required will be validated by the manufacturer. In order to provide the user with
information about a well-functioning procedure for the individual cleaning steps, an efficiency check of the repreparation for each determined
procedure will be carried out in an accredited laboratory. The validation of the procedures used for cleaning and sterilisation is the responsi-
bility of the user themselves, and must be done on-site, or it is the responsibility of a Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD).
Each modification to the packaging or product also constitutes a modification to the validated delivery condition.
When using more than one torque ratchet, do not swap the individual parts. The individual parts each belong to a particular
implement.
Do not use metal brushes or cleansing sponges.
The preparation may only be performed by adequately qualified persons.
The water used must be
at least
of drinking water quality. (see specifications in the individual preparation steps).
In these preparation instructions, the cleaning and disinfecting agent used will be specified on the efficiency certificate.
If you use an alternative cleaning and / or disinfecting agent, it must be listed by the
RKI
[Robert Koch Institute] or the
VAH
[German Association for Applied Hygiene] and must be compatible with the materials. The ph value must be be-
tween 4.5 and 10.
The preparator is responsible for achieving the desired results when actually performing the preparation in the prepara-
tion facility with the equipment, material and persons used. Therefore, as a general rule, the validation and routine
monitoring of the procedure and the equipment used is required.
Demineralised water should always be preferred when selecting a water quality for handling implements so that the corrosion-causing ac-
cumulation of salts and silicates can be avoided or reduced to an absolute minimum.
5.1
Transport / site of use – preparation
The first step in preparing a product correctly starts immediately after it has been used on a patient.
Heavy contamination, residues of fillings, disinfection agents and other medicinal products must be removed before the implements are
stored away.
•
Dry removal (humidified, closed system) is to be preferred whenever and wherever possible. For disposal, standard hospital regulations must be ob-
served. The torque ratchet must be transported and disposed of in a closed container or tight protective cover.
•
As a general rule, surface drying of certain residues which are left after use is to be avoided!
•
Long waiting periods before the preparation, e.g. overnight or over the weekend, are to be avoided with both types of removal (<6 hours).
