Sterilization:
Use a steam autoclave. Place bagged adapter and thumb nut into the steam autoclave, paper side
up when using a paper/plastic pouch. After warm-up is completed, operate at a sterilizing temperature
and pressure of 134ºC/273ºF to 137ºC/279ºF and pressure of 216kPa/31psi for 3 to 12 minutes.
Alternate method: Place non-bagged adapter and thumb nut into the steam autoclave. After warm-up is
completed, operate at a sterilizing temperature and pressure of 134ºC/273ºF to 137ºC/279ºF and pres-
sure of 216kPa /31psi for 3 to 4 minutes. Components should be used immediately.
Drying:
To dry, use the drying cycle of the autoclave. Set cycle for 20-30 minutes.
Maintenance, inspection and testing:
• Visually inspect to ensure all contamination is removed.
• Check for distortion, damage and wear. Discard damaged, worn or corroded components.
Storage:
To maintain sterility, instruments should remain bagged until ready to use.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: Water leaking, wet air, and/or loose tips, indicates either:
a.) Center hole of Sani-Tip is not fully seated over water spindle inside new adapter, or
b.) Correct Sani-Tip Conversion Kit is not properly installed, and/or missing parts; thumb nut has not
been fully tightened, or incorrect tips are being used.
c.) Internal water spindle is damaged.
SOLUTION:
a.) Loosen thumb nut, when interchanging Sani-Tips. Insert new tip and push into adapter as far as
possible. While still pushing inward, twist tip 1/2 turn clockwise to create a watertight seal over
internal tapered water spindle. Tighten thumb nut.
b.) Make sure correct Sani-Tip Conversion Kit is properly installed. Confirm presence of plastic cone
and all o-rings. Fully tighten thumb nut after inserting new tip. Verify tips are clear plastic and manu-
factured by DENTSPLY Professional for the Sani-Tip
c.) If internal water spindle inside Sani-Tip is damaged, replace adapter.
PROBLEM: Tip does not fit through thumb nut.
SOLUTION: Loosen thumb nut a full turn to expand opening of plastic cone.
