parkell TurboSENSOR D560-110, Instructions For Use Manual, Page: 5 / 8

The sheath and ultrasonic insert must be
washed in soap and water either manually or
in an ultrasonic cleaner, and rinsed in running
water prior to bagging them for processing in
a steam autoclave.
• Sheaths and inserts may be sterilized in any
conventional steam autoclave following
manufacturer’s instructions. A typical steam
cycle is 250°F-268°F / 121°C-131°C for 30
minutes at a minimum of 15 psi, followed by a
15 minute minimum cool-down period. After
sterilization, inspect the device in the
autoclave bag for integrity. If suspicion about
the item exists, discard it and order a
replacement from Parkell or your dealer.
• DO NOT USE DRY HEAT OR CHEMCLAVE
on the sheath or the insert.
HOW TO REPLACE THE FILTER DISK
The water filter disk coming off of the rear hose
of the unit should be replaced when it becomes
dark or clogged with debris so that water flow is
not blocked (1-3 months). Replacement Filters
are available from Parkell (Stock No. D419
– ten per package).
1. Close any water valves, and bleed all water
lines of residual water pressure.
2. Disconnect the scaler water supply hose
from the water supply at the quick-connect.
3. Remove the old filter disk by holding it in one
hand and loosening it by twisting it off the
hose connectors on either side. They rotate
in opposite directions.
4. Install the new filter disk in the same position
as the old one, and tighten the connectors in
reverse.
5. Reconnect the scaler water supply hose to
the water supply via the quick-connect and
check for leaks.
6. Note: If the filter becomes clogged and you
do not have a replacement disk, the hose
connectors may be locked together
TEMPORARILY without the filter disk to
allow emergency operation only.
