Sterilization of the light guide
Thorough cleaning and disinfecting is imperative to
ensure that the subsequent sterilization is effective. Use
only autoclave sterilization for this purpose: 3x pre-
vacuum, sterilization time (exposure time at sterilization
temperature) is 4 minutes at 134 °C (273 °F); pressure
should be 2 bar (29 psi). Use nationally approved
sterilization pouches. Dry the sterilized light guide
(10 min) using either the special drying program of your
steam autoclave or hot air. The light guide has been
tested for up to 200 sterilization cycles.
Checking the light guide
After that, check the light guide for damage. Hold it
against the light. If individual segments appear black,
glass fibres are broken. If this is the case, replace the
light guide with a new one. If you can still see signs of
contamination on the light guide, the cleaning and
disinfecting procedure must be repeated.
Disposal
The curing light must not be disposed
of as normal houshold waste. Dispose
unserviceable batteries and curing lights
according to the corresponding legal
requirements in your country.
Batteries must not be incinerated.
