WARNINGS:
• Clean and sterilize handpieces, attachments and batteries before first and every use.
• Prior to cleaning and sterilization, remove attachments and all accessories from the handpieces.
• Orient the handpiece to allow steam to flow through
the cannulated handpiece when using a gravity displacement sterilizer.
To obtain optimal performance and prevent damage,
perform one of the following sterilization procedures:
“Flash” Autoclave:
• Gravity displacement sterilizer
• 270-272 °F (132-134 °C)
• Unwrapped in an instrument tray in a vertical position
so steam can flow through the cannula
• 10-minute minimum exposure time
Hi Vac:
• Pre-vacuumed sterilizer
• 270-272 °F (132-134 °C)
• Wrapped or unwrapped
