Cooling Handpieces Before Use
Allow the handpiece to cool completely before use. Note that it is the user’s
responsibility to verify that the handpiece and components are completely dry
prior to setup.
Validations for Steam Sterilization
Integra LifeSciences has validated steam sterilization. The challenge
organism used was > 1 x 10
6
Bacillus stereothermophilus
.
Biological indicators were placed in the areas identified as the most difficult to
sterilize, representing worst case conditions.
The biological indicators were inoculated into Tryptone Soya Broth and
incubated for seven days. The biological indicators produced no growth,
indicating that a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10
-6
was achieved.
Disinfecting the Handpieces
Disinfect the CUSA Selector handpiece in one of the following solutions:
•
Glutaraldehyde based solutions such as Cidex
®
or peracetic acid based
solutions such as Nu-Cidex™. Follow the instructions supplied by the
manufacturer.
•
