After disinfecting the hand piece, a sterile insert may be re-inserted into the hand piece in
preparation for the next patient.
At the end of the day, remove the insert from the hand piece and scrub both, the hand piece and
cable, with antiseptic soap. Rinse thoroughly with water.
NOTE
：
Cleaning the hand piece after every patient is advised.
WARNING
：
Do not dip the hand piece and extension cable directly into sterilization fluid.
Doing so will cause the KRUUSE-SP1 to malfunction.
WARNING
：
Do not leave the disinfectant on the surface of the hand piece and extension
cable any longer than instructed by the manufacturer of the disinfectant.
Insert
Saliva, blood, and other debris will leave a residue on the insert after each use. Therefore, it is
necessary to clean inserts after each use. Cleaning can be done manually by scrubbing the
insert with a brush, water, and detergent. Be sure to rinse thoroughly after scrubbing. Let
the insert dry. Then, place the insert in a bag and autoclave at 275
℉
(135
℃
) for 15 minutes
(or as recommended by the manufacturer of your sterilization unit) to sterilize the insert.
Bio-indicators or chemical indicators for ensuring the efficiency of the sterilization cycle are
recommended.
NOTE
：
Routine spore testing will determine the sterile conditions of your office.
NOTE
：
The Sterilization Assurance Level (SAL) of steam autoclave should be 10
-6
(According to ISO 13683:Sterilization of health Care products)
WARNING
：
High room temperature conditions, improper dilutions, or extended
immersion time in chemical sterilizers can result in damage to the plastic
and other materials of the insert/tips.
CAUTION
：
The use of a dry heat oven, incompatible chemical vapor type sterilizers or
quaternary ammonium compounds must be avoided as damage can result
to the plastic and elastomeric materials.
Main Unit
To clean the main unit, wipe with a nonabrasive disinfectant.
