Store the components following the instructions given in Chapter 5, “Storage
and Disposal”.

Flushing the channels with 70% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol
after rinsing them with sterile water facilitates drying inside
the channels.



Non-sterile water rinse and alcohol flush

Fill a small basin with clean water.

Immerse all equipment in clean water and follow all procedures described in
“Sterile water rinse” on page 60.

Fill a small basin with 70% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol.

Immerse all equipment in the alcohol.

Gently agitate all equipment in the alcohol.

Using the 30 cm

(30 ml) syringe, flush the interior and recessed parts of all

equipment with alcohol to remove all air bubbles.

While immersed, depress and release the pistons of the air/water valve,
suction valve and AW channel cleaning adapter. Ensure that all air bubbles
are expelled.

Rub the bristles of the channel cleaning brush and channel-opening
cleaning brush to remove all air bubbles.

Attach the 30 cm

(30 ml) syringe to the suction cleaning adapter and flush

the adapter with 30 cm

(30 ml) of alcohol to remove all air bubbles.

10.

Remove the suction cleaning adapter from the alcohol. Hold the adapter
and tilt it to expel the alcohol remaining in the adapter.

11.

Using the 30 cm

(30 ml) syringe, flush air to dry the inside of the suction

cleaning adapter.
