Procedure
STEP 1.
Clean the tip with soapy water, ensuring that the mirror
is clean and free of smudges, stains, or any residue.
Avoid using abrasive cloth materials as this will scratch
the mirror.
STEP 2.
After drying the tip exterior, carefully dry the interior and
mirror with lint free wipes ensuring you do not scratch
the sur- face. The mirror should be free of any noticeable
debris or water spots.
STEP 3.
Insert and seal the tip into a sterilization pouch. Make
sure the seal is airtight. Each tip should be packaged
individually.
STEP 4.
Sterilize the wrapped tip in a steam autoclave at
following parameters:
•
132°C (270°F) at 4 minutes, or
•
134°C (273°F) at 4 minutes, or
•
121°C (250°F) at 45 minutes
STEP 5.
Ensure the dry cycle is complete prior to removing the
tip from the autoclave. If the pouch is damp with
moisture, proper sterilization cannot be guaranteed.
NOTE
: Tips should not be placed in an ultrasonic cleaner or any
cold sterile solutions. The sterilant solutions will leave a sticky
residue or film on the mirror when drying
WARNING: Do not autoclave the handpiece of the device.
WARNING
: Always autoclave the tip wrapped in a sealed
sterilization pouch; failure to do so will result in permanent stains
on the mirror.
