teries before first and every use.
• Prior to cleaning and sterilization, remove attach-
ments and all accessories from the handpieces.
• Orient the handpiece to allow steam to flow through
the cannulated handpiece when using a gravity dis-
placement sterilizer.
To obtain optimal performance and prevent damage,
perform one of the following sterilization procedures:
“Flash” Autoclave:
• Gravity displacement sterilizer
• 270-272 °f (12-1 °C)
• Unwrapped in an instrument tray in a vertical position
so steam can flow through the cannula
• 10-minute minimum exposure time
Hi Vac:
