IM
4.5 Recommended load configurations
The HYDR
IM
C61wd G4 can process many different instrument combinations as deter-
mined by the following:
• Size of practice
• Types of procedures undertaken at any one time
• Specialization of practice
• Instrument management protocols
Below are examples of a few loading scenarios, including the most common basket
loadings, the recommended loading of general instruments, and the worst case loading for
the unit. Handle all instruments with care to prevent personal injuries from punctures, for
example, and follow local health and safety regulations to prevent accidents and injuries.
Using baskets and accessories
Observe the instrument manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning and care. When
loading the unit, arrange loose instruments so that they do not touch one another.
Instruments with concave surfaces or cavities should be placed so that water can
drain freely.
Sample loading:
Solid straight and hinged instruments
Solid straight instruments
For example:
scalpels, scissors,
curettes, excavators,
pluggers, etc.
For example:
pliers, knives,
explorers, scalers,
etc.
