These instructions are for use ONLY on the outer sheath and handpiece cradle. All
other parts of the system should be disinfected according to the procedures in the
"Disinfecting All Other Parts" section.
The outer sheath and handpiece cradle for the Nupro Freedom® Cordless Prophy
System with SmartMode® Technology are not sterile upon receipt and must be steam-
autoclave sterilized prior to use in accordance with the following instructions.
The handpiece cradle may only be sterilized following the pre-vacuum sterilization pro-
cedure. The gravity steam sterilization procedures have not been validated for the hand-
piece cradle.
Do not use an automatic washer/disinfector for the outer sheath. Discoloration of mate-
rial will occur.
Repeated cleaning and steam sterilization cycles have minimum effect on these instru-
ments. End of life is normally determined by wear and damage due to use.
Do not use chemical disinfectants prior to sterilization or rapid deterioration of the mate-
rial may occur.
Cold liquid disinfection/sterilization, chemical vapor sterilization, and dry heat sterilization
methods have not been tested or validated for efficacy and are not recommended for
use.
Do not immerse the outer sheath or handpiece cradle in an ultrasonic bath.
Remove excess soil with disposable cloth or paper wipe.
It is recommended that instruments are reprocessed as soon as is reasonably practical
following use.
Protect the outer sheath and handpiece cradle from contact with other dental instru-
ments that may cause damage.
Remove the outer sheath from the cordless handpiece inner module of the cordless
handpiece. Only the outer sheath and handpiece cradle may be steam-autoclave
sterilized.
