1. Use a high quality spray lubricant intended for use with
dental handpieces / air motors (Not included with device).
2. Insert spray nozzle into drive air tube of air motor (shown
in Fig 4). Hold the air motor firmly and spray for
approximately 2 to 3 seconds.
3. Lubricant should be seen to be expelled from exhaust air
tube. (Fig 5) for Midwest 4 holes.

1. Use correct eye, face and personal protection to avoid possible infection.
2. Disconnect handpiece from air motor.
3. Remove air motor from air supply hose.
10.1 Preparation
Disconnect the air motor from the tube. Remove gross soiling of the instrument with
cold water (<40°C) immediately after use. Don’t use a fixating detergent or hot water
(>40°C) as this can cause the fixation of residuals which may influence the result of
the reprocessing process. Store the instruments in a humid surrounding.
Safe storage and transportation to the reprocessing area to avoid any damage and
contamination to the environment.
10.2 Cleaning
10.2.1 Preparation at the Point of Use:
Do a manual pre-cleaning, until the air motor is visually clean. Submerge the air
motor in a cleaning solution and flush the lumens with a water jet pistol with cold tap
water for at least 10 seconds. Clean the surfaces with a soft bristle brush.
10.2.2 Pre-cleaning
Use a washer-disinfector meeting the requirements of the ISO 15883 series.
Put the instrument into the machine on a tray. Connect the instrument with the WD
by using suitable adapter and start the program:
• 4 min pre-washing with cold water (<40°C);
• emptying
• 5 min washing with a mild alkaline cleaner at 55°C
• emptying
• 3 min neutralising with warm water (>40°C);
• emptying
• 5 min intermediate rinsing with warm water (>40°C)
• Emptying
The automated cleaning processes have been validated by using 0.5% neodisher
MediClean forte (Dr. Weigert).
Note: Acc. to EN ISO 17664 no manual reprocessing methods are required for these
devices. If a manual reprocessing method has to be used, please validate it prior to use.
10.2.3 Automated Cleaning:
Automated Thermal Disinfection in washer/disinfector under consideration of
national requirements in regards to A0 value (see EN 15883).
A disinfection cycle of 5 min disinfection at 93°C has been validated for this device
to achieve an A0 value of 3000.
10.2.4 Disinfection:
Drying of outside of instrument through drying cycle of washer/disinfector. If needed,
additional manual drying can be performed through lint free towel. Insufflate cavities
of instruments by using sterile compressed air.
10.2.5 Drying:
CAUTION:
Visual inspection for cleanliness of the air motor. If necessary, p
erform reprocessing process again until the air motor is visibly clean. Before
packaging and autoclaving, make sure that the air motor has been maintained
acc. to this instruction.
