3.1.3 Sterilization Information
team sterilization is safe and effective and
has no contraindications for its use in ster-
ilizing attachments.
3.1.3.1 Sterilization Warnings,
Precautions and Notes
WARNING: The use of disinfecting solu-
tions for an exterior instrument wipe will not
sterilize equipment and is not recommended.
1. Do not sterilize attachments with Ethylene
Oxide (EtO).
2. Never sterilize in a washer/sanitizer,
STERIS System, STERRAD System,
Abtox Plazlyte™ or comparable steriliza-
tion methods.
3. Do not sterilize attachments in cold ster-
ilants like CIDEX.
4. Do Not “Peel Pack” attachments for steril-
ization. Sterilization in a sealed pouch traps
moisture which can cause damage.
5. Attachments with collet mechanisms must
be sterilized with the collet
fully open .
6. Do not use attachments while warm. Allow
adequate time for cooling prior to surgery.
Do not immerse in liquid or cover with a
damp cloth to cool. Cool by exposure to
room temperature.
NOTES:
1. The following guidelines do not
guarantee that the device is sterile after
the procedure. Your institution is still
responsible for the normal sterility
assurance validation.
2. Additional drying time may be required
for complete heat and moisture dissipa-
tion. Operation of attachments that are
not completely cool or dry may decrease
performance and/or reliability.
3. Sterilization validation is based on AAMI
guidelines (Association for the Advance-
ment of Medical Instrumentation).
All attachments may be processed in a pre-vac-
uum steam sterilizer (Steam Pre-vacuum) or in a
gravity (downward) displacement sterilizer
(Steam Gravity). Place attachments in an appro-
priate instrument tray or a fully perforated,
wrapped container, when applicable.
PowerPro sterilization cases are sold separately.
Consult the sterilization guidelines on the fol-
lowing page or the information insert supplied
with that particular tray.
