NOTES:

1. The following guidelines do not guaran-

tee the device is sterile after the proce-
dure. Your institution is still responsible
for the normal sterility assurance valida-
tion.
2. Additional drying time may be required
for complete heat and moisture dissipa-
tion. Operation of a handpiece that is not
completely cool or dry may decrease per-
formance and/or reliability
3. Sterilization validation is based on AAMI
guidelines (Association for the Advance-
ment of Medical Instrumentation).
4. Charge batteries prior to sterilization.

All handpieces, batteries, and attachments may

be processed in a pre-vacuum steam sterilizer
(Steam Pre-vacuum) or in a gravity (downward)
displacement sterilizer (Steam Gravity).

Before Sterilization:

• Remove all accessories (e.g., drill bits,

blades) from attachments.

• Remove all attachments (e.g., chucks, saws,

batteries) from the handpiece.

• Ensure all attachments/accessories were

cleaned.

• Charge batteries prior to sterilization.

30
Recommended sterilization exposure times of individual handpieces, batteries, attachments and
accessories are as follows:

* CAUTION: An eight (8) minute minimum dry cycle must be run on handpieces and
attachments every time the product is sterilized. Failure to use a dry cycle may lead to
reduced product performance or premature product failure. Operation of a handpiece that
is not completely cool or dry may decrease performance and/or reliability.
