STERILIZATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Clean and sterilize the handpiece prior to the first use and every use
thereafter.
Caution
Never sterilize the handpiece that has not been cleaned.
The success of the sterilization process depends on the
previous state of cleaning.
Caution
Always install the soaking cap prior to cleaning or
sterilization. If moisture reaches the connection pins of
the cable connector, it could damage the connector.
Caution
The handpiece can be sterilized by using the following
methods only.
Sterilizing the Handpiece:
1)
Clean the handpiece according to the “Cleaning Instructions”
section of this manual.
2)
Attach the soaking cap to the cable connector if it is not already
attached.
Caution
Do not cross-sterilize the handpiece. Alternating
between different methods of sterilization may cause
undue wear on the handpiece. Product longevity is
extended by the consistent use of a single sterilization
method.
Caution
Remove the handpiece from the sterilizer immediately
after sterilization, or product damage may result.
Caution
Never immerse the handpiece in a liquid to help it cool
after sterilization, or product damage may result. If
necessary, cool the handpiece by wrapping it in a
sterilized damp sponge or cloth.

a) Wrapping the handpiece in Kimberly-Clark Kimguard KC400
Sterilization Wrap or equivalent
b) Following the steps below if the optional Sterilization Tray is to
