Automated
Cleaning: Manual
The SmartLite Pro light handpiece, tips and charging base have to be manually cleaned.
1. Discard used gloves according to local regulations.
2. Disinfect hands with an appropriate bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal hand
disinfectant solution according to local regulations. Use according to disinfectant
solution manufacturer's Instructions for Use.
3. Use a new clean pair of examination gloves
4. Disassemble tip from handpiece. Use separate wipes for tip and handpiece.
5. Scrub handpiece, tips and charging base with an impregnated wipe or disposable
towel soaked with an alcohol-based, tuberculocidal, quaternary ammonium solution
with a label claim for cleaning (e.g. VoloWipes Disinfecting / Cleaning / Deodorizing
Wipes) approved according to local regulations and use according to cleaning solution
manufacturer's Instructions for Use until it is free of visible residues.
6. Special Note: use care when cleaning the mating surfaces of the probe tip and
handpiece. Use only a moist impregnated towel.
• For the probe tip: Vigorously scrub the area near the o-ring with a fresh wipe. Ensure
fluid covers o-ring and surrounding crevices. When cleaning the mating surface,
ensure that cleaning agent only contacts the sides that fit within the handpiece (with
O-ring). Avoid applying cleaning agent to the electrical contacts on the bottom of
the probe tip.
• For the handpiece mating cavity: Use a fresh wipe to clean mating groove directly
below the surface. Use care to ensure cleaning agent is applied only to the top of
the cavity interior. Ensure only minimal cleaning agent enters the cavity that houses
the electrical pins. Do not allow fluid to pool in the cavity around the contact pins.
Immediately absorb excess fluid with a dry disposable towel.
• For the battery and handpiece mating seam: Use a fresh wipe to clean mating groove.
Remove all visible soil, ensuring fluid penetrates all crevices. Use fresh wipes to rub
fluid into the crevices. Do not allow solution to penetrate the casing. Discard used
wipes. Additional wipes may be used.
7. Remove cleaning solution residue with a damp cloth. Use tap water to dampen cloth
8. Allow the devices to air dry for at least 5 min.
Disinfection:
1. After cleaning, wipe all device surfaces with a new single-use cloth in combination
Manual
with an alcohol-based, tuberculocidal, quaternary ammonium solution e.g.
(Intermediate-
VoloWipes Disinfecting / Cleaning / Deodorizing Wipes, 5 minute contact time,
Level)
approved according to local regulations, and use according to disinfectant solution
manufacturer`s Instruction for Use. Use a separate wipe for tip and handpiece. Ensure
direct contact of device and disinfectant by pressing the wet wipes on the device after
half of the required contact time.
2. Ensure that the device stays wet for the entire contact time specified by wrapping
wipes around device. Use additional wipes as needed.
3. Pay special attention to seams, areas around buttons, window, and crevices..
4. Use fresh wipes to disinfect the probe tip o-ring area, handpiece mating cavity,
and battery/handpiece mating seam for the entire contact time. Use care to ensure
cleaning agent is applied only to the top of the cavity interior. Ensure only minimal
cleaning agent enters the cavity that houses the electrical pins. Immediately absorb
excess fluid with a dry disposable towel.
5. Wipe the devices with a sterile, clean, lint-free cloth that is well dampened with
deionized water for 30 seconds to remove all disinfecting agent. Pay special attention
to all seems, especially around the probe tip/handpiece junction. Ensure cloth is damp
with deionized water for the entire 30 seconds.
6. Wipe device with a second dry, sterile lint-free cloth to remove all fluid.
7. Allow the devices to air dry for at least 5 minutes
