Cleaning the Light Guide
Clean and disinfect the light guide before every use.
The light guide is not sterile when delivered and
must be sterilized before being used for the first
time.
Material Resistance
Make sure that the cleaning and disinfectant agents
you have chosen do not contain any of the following
materials:
• Organic, mineral, and oxidizing acids (minimum
acceptable pH value 5.5)
• Bases (maximum acceptable pH value 8.5)
• Oxidation agents (e.g., hydrogen peroxide)
• Halogens (chlorine, iodine, bromide)
• Aromatic/halogenized hydrocarbons
Please check the manufacturer's information about the
cleaning and disinfecting agents.
The light guide must not be exposed to temperatures
higher than 134 °C (273 °F).
The light guide has been tested for up to 500 steriliza-
tion cycles.
Pre-Treatment
The pre-treatment must be carried out before either
automatic or manual cleaning and disinfecting.
Immediately after using (within a maximum of
2 hours), remove gross contaminations from the
light guide.
Rinse the light guide off thoroughly (at least 10 sec.)
under running water or use a suitable disinfectant
solution without any aldehyde (disinfectant should
not contain any aldehyde to prevent blood from
becoming fixed).
Use a soft brush or a soft cloth to manually remove
contaminations. Adhering polymerized composite
should be removed with alcohol, a plastic spatula
may help in removing the material. Do not use any
sharp or pointed tools to protect the surface of the
light guide from scratching.
