Load washing machine basket

Place articles in the specially designed trays for machine
washing supplied by Synthes. Ensure that all cannulations
(handpiece and attachments), if applicable, are positioned
vertically, i.e., in an upright position as shown.

Note:

Never immerse the handpiece, lid or attachments in

an ultrasonic bath or any other liquid as this could decrease
the service life of the system.
