Disinfection
Disinfection (other components): Wipe with Ethanol
Wipe the fi le holder, long fi le holder and contrary electrode
with a piece of gauze dampened with Ethanol for Disinfec-
tion (Ethanol 70 vol% to 80 vol%).
Components Disinfected with Ethanol : Main Unit, Probe Cord
Dampen a piece of gauze with ethanol, wring it out and then wipe these components with it.
Do not immerse the components in or wipe it with
any of the following: functional water (acidic electro-
lyzed water, strong alkaline solution, and ozone water),
medical agents (glutaral, etc.), medicinal solutions (FC:
formalin cresol, sodium hypochloriteor, etc.) or any other
special types of water or commercial cleaning liquids.
Such liquids may result in plastic degradation, metal cor-
rosion and adhesion of the residual medical agent to the
components. If any of these liquids being applied to the
components, wash it off in running water.
Never wipe components with any solution other than Ethanol for Disinfection (70 vol% to 80
vol%). Other solutions could cause cracking and discoloration.
Never wipe components with a piece of gauze that is excessively wet with Ethanol for Disinfection
(Ethanol 70 vol% to 80 vol%). Do not apply or spray with any fl uid. Also, do not immerse in any
fl uid or wash with water. It could seep inside the instrument and damage it. Be especially careful
around the connection jacks for the transmission cable.
Avoid spilling chemical solutions used for treatment on the any components. These chemicals
could damage, deform or discolor plastic and metal. Use extra caution to avoid spilling formalin cre-
sol (FC) and sodium hypochlorite as they are quite strong. Wipe up any chemical spills immediately.
(Some chemicals may leave traces even if wiped up immediately.)
Use only Ethanol for Disinfection (Ethanol 70 vol% to 80 vol%) and OPTI-CIDE-3™ Surface Wipes
for cleaning. Any other cleaning chemical or products should not be used including but not limited
to the following cleaning products and similar cleaning products listed below because of the poten-
tial damage to the plastic components of the Root ZX mini.
