11. 8 TIP MAINTENANCE

a) Lifetime
Tip shape and weight are the determining
characteristics for obtaining maximal efficiency of
the ultrasonic generator.
Careful monitoring of these two characteristics by
the user will ensure that optimal performance of the
device is maintained.
Consequently, you are strongly advised not to alter
the structure of the tips by filing or twisting them or
modifying them in any other way.
Similarly, through normal wear, tip aging leads to
alteration of its characteristics. Always replace a tip
that has been damaged by wear or by accidental
impact (dropped, bent, etc.).
Use the T to check scaler tip wear. Replace
IPCARD
routinely-used tips at least once a year.
b) Pre-disinfection / chemical cleaning
To be carried out immediately after treatment,
wearing thick gloves. Immerse in an ultrasonic bath
(enzymatic, quaternary ammonium base detergent /
disinfectant solution), carefully respecting the
concentration and contact time recommended by the
manufacturer of the solution.
Use a solution that bears the EC marking or that is in
compliance with any standard required by the
national regulations.
Rinse under running water for at least 30 seconds.
c) Mechanical / chemical cleaning
To be carried out immediately after pre-
™ wipes.
disinfection/chemical cleaning, wearing thick gloves.
Scrub the products in a new bath of enzymatic,
quaternary ammonium base detergent / disinfectant
solution, for at least 30 seconds, and in any case until
all remaining traces of contamination have been
removed.
Rinse again under running water for at least 30
seconds.
d) Drying
Dry with a clean, non-woven single-use cloth, so as to
remove any traces of liquid.
Pack in single-use sterilization pouches or bags in

standard EN ISO 11607-1 or in any equivalent
standard required by the national regulations.
e) Sterilization
The tips must be sterilized individually in an
autoclave, according to the following parameters:
- autoclave: type B, compliant with standard EN
13060;
- sterilization temperature: 134°C;
- sterilization stabilization time: 18 minutes;
- pressure: 2 Bars min.
f) Storage
Store the sterilized products in a dry place protected
from dust. Before re-use, if the integrity of the
packaging is not certain, repackage then re-sterilize
in accordance with the defined protocol.
