8.1 Foreword
For hygiene and sanitary safety purpose, the handpiece, light source
head and protective light shield must be cleaned and disinfected even if the
disposable sleeve is used. They should be cleaned and disinfected before
each usage to prevent any contamination. This concerns the first use as well
as the subsequent uses. Comply with your national guidelines, standards and
requirements for cleaning and disinfection.
Reprocessing procedures have only limited implications to this dental
instrument. The limitation of the numbers of reprocessing procedures is
therefore determined by the function / wear of the device. From the
processing side there is no maximum number of allowable reprocessing. The
device should no longer be reused in case of signs of material degradation.
In case of damage, the device should be reprocessed before sending
back to the manufacturer for repair.
