Scanner Head Care
The scanner head is the most essential part of the scanner as it is inserted into your patient’s

after each patient contact in order to prevent cross- contamination in your operation.
WARNINGS
⚫
Concerning hand hygiene and personnel safety when performing cleaning and
disinfection/sterilization, you must wear clean surgical gloves and goggles before you start.
⚫
Always ensure that you have pre-cleaned and disinfected/sterilized the scanner body,
scanner pedestal, and scanner head before each scan.
⚫
The caring methods for the scanner pedestal, scanner body, and scanner head are
different and must be executed separately.
⚫
Cleaning the scanner head is an essential step before effective disinfection or
sterilization.
⚫
When inserting the scanner head into the disinfectant solution, be sure to follow the
instructions on the disinfectant label and limit the time and depth that the head is soaked within
the minimum time recommended.

The scanner head can be sterilized under high temperature up to 100 times and must
be disposed of afterwards. For more information on disposal, see Disposal on chapter 1.
