1.4 Applying an infection control shield.
It is important to properly clean and disinfect the instrument between patient
uses and to use a new Easyshade infection control shield for each patient
to prevent patient cross-contamination.
The infection control shield also protects the fiber optics in the instrument
from damage.
1. Insert the tip of the hand piece into the shield
2. Remove paper backing from the shield
3. Pull shield carefully over the hook
4. Secure shield on the hook
Verify that the infection control shield is stretched uniformly
and flat over the face of the probe tip, and is not torn
during application (fig. 3+4).
Then calibrate the instrument as described in section 1.6.
The infection control shield should remain in place for all
measurements with the same patient.
These non-sterile covers are for single patient use only and should
be properly disposed of.
Note:
An infection control shield that has come into contact
with a patient must not contact the calibration block assembly.
If contact occurs, follow the instructions for cleaning and
disinfection of the calibration block assembly in section 11.
