in combination with an alcohol-based, tuberculocidal, quaternary
ammonium solution (e.g., BBraun Meliseptol
®
Rapid).
2. Thoroughly disinfect the surface with the soaked cloth, paying
special attention to any cavities and holes. Ensure the entire
surface remains wet for the entirety of the required contact time
in accordance with the disinfectant solution manufacturer’s Di-
rections for Use.

Packaging
Paper / plastic steam sterilization pouches (e.g., AssurePlus
®
Ster-
ilization Pouches) may be used, but are not required.
Sterilization
After Cleaning and Disinfecting, steam autoclaving is required.
Prevacuum Steam Sterilization:
• Full Cycle: 134 °C/274 °F for 3 minutes 30 seconds.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for loading and operation cycle.
Drying
Use the drying cycle of the autoclave, minimum 5 minutes.
Allow the components to fully air dry before storage.
Maintenance
Visually inspect to ensure that all contamination has been re-
moved.
If the shield is discolored, damaged, worn, or distorted it should
be discarded.
No additional maintenance or lubrication is recommended.
Storage
Store the sterilized light shield at room temperature, away from
moisture or excessive humidity.
Instruments steam autoclaved bagged should remain bagged un-
til ready for use. Prior to subsequent re-use, inspect the steriliza-
tion pouch and the shield. If the integrity of the sterilization pouch
has been compromised, the shield must be reprocessed prior to
use. Instruments steam autoclaved unwrapped should be used
immediately.
Light handpiece and charging base should be cleaned, disinfected
and dried as outlined in the section above prior to storage.
