CLEANING
Syringe Tip Sterilization:
1)
Remove contaminated syringe tip.
2)
Remove all visible signs of contamination
before autoclaving.
3)
Autoclave tip at 132° C (270° F) for ten minutes.
4)
Sterilize between each patient use.
NOTE
: Since only the tips can be autoclaved,
it is recommended that the air/water syringe
be bagged with a disposable, single-use
plastic sleeve between each patient use.
Water Lines:
Disinfect the water lines weekly.
Prepare a 1:10 bleach solution (1 part
household bleach to 10 parts water). Remove
water reservoir and discard residual water.
Replace empty water supply tank and air
purge all waterlines. Fill water supply tank with
bleach solution. Run bleach solution through
all lines. Allow bleach solution to stand in lines
for 10 minutes. Remove water supply tank and
discard bleach. Flush water supply tank and
all lines thoroughly with clean water. Air purge
and leave lines dry until next clinical use.
