CAUTION
• Be sure to clean and lubricate the handpiece prior to
autoclaving. If blood remains on the internal surface it
can become clotted and cause product failure.
• Do not autoclave the product with other instruments
even when it is in a pouch. This is to prevent possible
discoloration and damage to the product from chemical
residue on other instruments.
• Do not heat or cool the product too quickly. Rapid change
in temperature could cause damage to the product.
• To avoid product failure, do not use a sterilizer whose
temperature exceeds 138°C during use including the
dry cycle. The chamber temperature of some type of
sterilizers may exceed 138°C. Contact the sterilizer
manufacturer for detailed information.
