II - MAINTENANCE AND
STERILIZATION
The following instructions for maintenance
and/or sterilization must be carried out before
first using the handpiece or the tips and files
supplied with the device.
Avoid using cleaning and disinfectant agents
containing inflammable components. If used,
ensure that the agent has evaporated and that
there is no trace of inflammable substances on
the equipment and its accessories before using
them.
2. 1 MAINTENANCE OF
HANDPIECE
Warning: the water circuits for the complete
Suprasson handpiece and tip should be rinsed
with water for 20 to 30 secs after each use.
2. 2 FILES MAINTENANCE
a) When is a tip no longer usable?
The shape and mass of a tip are the determining
factors in obtaining maximum effect from the
ultrasound generator. Vigilance on the part of the
user regarding these two characteristics will
enable optimum performance of the device to be
maintained.
It is consequently strongly advised not to alter
the structure of tips by filing or twisting them.
Also, ageing of a tip due to normal wear leads to
a change in its properties.
Always be sure to replace tips subject to
deterioration due to wear or accidental impact
(fall, etc.).
b) Sterilization of tips
Tips should be cleaned before sterilization
using a cotton swab and alcohol, wipes or by
immersion in an ultrasonic bath.
Tips can be sterilized by any conventional heat
method.

couples causing localized deterioration. In
order to avoid this phenomenon, place the
objects to be sterilized in a cloth or sterilizing
bag.
