Do not use any chemicals for this step. Allow remaining water to sufficiently
drain off.
Place the Cavifil Injector in a disinfection bath (with a lid and sieve insert)
again, filled with aldehyde-free alkaline disinfectant (e.g. ID 212 forte 2%,
Dürr Dental, for 15 min.), and disinfect the Injector according to the
pretreatment procedure. Make sure that the Injector is completely immersed
in disinfectant and that the disinfectant is free of bubbles.
Subsequently, leave the Cavifil Injector in the sieve insert and carefully rinse
the Injector under running tap water (< 40 °C / 104 °F). Allow remaining water
to sufficiently drain off.
Drying:
Then, completely dry the Cavifil Injector with compressed air or a clean, lint-
free disposable towel.
Thermal disinfection of the unwrapped Injector in a steam sterilizer is
strongly recommended after manual cleaning and disinfection.
Maintenance, checking and inspection:
After cleaning and disinfecting the Cavifil Injector, visually inspect it to see
if it is clean, undamaged and functioning properly. If macroscopically visible
residual contamination is present, repeat the cleaning and disinfection
process.
Sterilization:
Requirements to carry out the validated procedure:
–
suitable sterile packaging (aluminium sterilization container)
–
steam sterilizer (Systec HX-320)
–
Program: 3 x fractionated pre-vacuum, 132 °C (270 °F), 20 min.
It is strongly recommended to sterilize semi-critical medical devices of
Classes A & B!
Packaging:
The Cavifil Injector should be autoclaved in an appropriate sterile packaging
(e.g. aluminium sterilization container). Sterilize the items in a steam sterilizer
(the unit should be compliant with EN 285 and validated according to
EN ISO 17665) using a fractionated pre-vacuum at 132 °C (270 °F) for at least
20 minutes. Please also observe the instructions of the equipment
manufacturer. If you sterilize several instruments at the same time in the
steam sterilizer, make sure to observe the instructions of the equipment
manufacturer regarding the maximum permissible load to avoid overloading.
The stipulated sterilization procedure has been validated by the manufacturer
as appropriate for the purpose in question according to EN ISO 17665.
The manufacturer does not assume responsibility for other sterilization
procedures. If other sterilization methods are used, the operator is responsible
for validating them to ensure that they are effective and fit for the purpose.
Safety information
–
The contents of the Cavifils should be processed at room temperature.
Cold material may be difficult to extrude.
–
The Cavifil Injector is optimally coordinated with the requirements of
Ivoclar Vivadent Cavifils. However, it can also be used with other suitable
capsule systems.
