3. Dry the handpiece with a clean, non-abrasive cloth with low fibre-release before using
the handpiece again and before placing it back in the charging unit. Above all, make sure
that the electric contacts are completely dry.
7.3 Sterilisation Procedure
CAUTION: Carry out sterilisation only in a steam autoclave at a maximum
temperature of 135° for 20 minutes. Do not use any other sterilisation procedures (dry heat,
radiation, ethylene oxide, gas, low-temperature plasma, etc.).
! WARNING: The handpiece should not be sterilised.
! WARNING: Infections control - Sterilisable parts. To avoid infection caused by bacteria
or viruses, always clean the following components after each treatment:
• Optical fibre;
• Optical protection.
these components are made of materials able to withstand a maximum temperature of 135 °C
for a maximum of 20 minutes.
the sterilization process, in a steam autoclave, guarantees SAL 10
indicated below:
• Type of cycle: 3 times Pre-vacum (pressure min. 60 mBar).
• Minimum sterilisation temperature: 132 °C (interval 0 °C ÷ +3 °C).
• Minimum sterilisation time: 4 minutes.
• Minimum drying time: 20 minutes.
All stages of sterilisation must be performed by the operator in compliance with the current
revision standards: UNI EN ISO 17665-1, UNI EN ISO 556-1 and ANSI/AAMI St:46.
NOTE: Do not used oxygenated water to disinfect. Only use neutral pH disinfectants. Always
rinse with sterile water.
! WARNING: Once clearing operations have been completed, before sterilisation check all
objects under a suitable light source. Pay particular attention to parts that may hide residue
dirt (threading, cavities, channelling). If necessary, repeat the cleaning cycle. Finally, check the
integrity of those parts and elements that may have deteriorated during use.
