Autoclave the contra angle after use for each patient.
Recommended: 134°C (273.2°F) for at least 5 minutes inside a sterilization pouch, or

Minimum drying time after sterilization: 10 minutes.
Never autoclave the motor handpiece.
Autoclaving and drying temperatures must never exceed 135°C (275°F).
Take the file out of the contra angle before autoclaving it.
Clean everything thoroughly before autoclaving. Any chemicals or foreign debris left on instruments could cause
them to malfunction or could cause discoloration.
For sterilizing files, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
Before autoclaving, lubricate and clean the contra
angle.
