II - GENERAL RECOMMENDATION
4) Use only a detergent solution, with disinfecting effect, which is approved for its efficacy
(VAH/DGHM-listing, CE marking, FDA approval) and in accordance with the DFU of the detergent
solution manufacturer. For all metal devices, it is recommended to use anticorrosion disinfecting and
cleaning agents.
5) For your own safety, please wear personal protective equipment (gloves, glasses, mask).
6) The user is responsible for the cleaning and sterilization of the product for the first cycle and each further
usage as well as for the usage of damaged or dirty devices where applicable after sterilization.
7) It is safest for the practitioner to use our devices only once. Should our devices be reused, we
recommend that they should not be used more than 5 times. After each processing they should be
carefully inspected before use: the appearance of defects such as deformations (bent, unwound),
breakage, corrosion, loss of colour coding or marking, indicate that the devices are not able to fulfil the
intended use with the required safety level and must therefore be discarded.
For our root canal shaping instruments we recommend not to exceed the following maximum number of
uses;
Type of canal
Extremely curved
(>30°) or S-shaped canals
Moderately curved canals
(10° to 30°)
Slightly curved
(<10°) or straight canals
8) Single use marked devices are not approved for re-use.
9) For the final rinsing step deionised water use is mandatory, whether using an automated washer-
disinfector or a manual cleaning method. Tap water is permissible for the other rinsing steps.
10) Instruments with plastic handles, and NiTi instruments should not be used with Hydrogen Peroxide (H
solution which is known to degrade them.
11) Only the active part of the NiTi instrument, which is in contact with the patient should be immersed in a
NaOCl solution concentrate at NOT more than 5%.
12) Avoid device to dry out, prior to, or during pre-disinfection, or cleaning. Dried biological material can be
difficult to remove.
13) Use only device appropriated support for reprocessing.
14) Do not use label systems or identification markers directly on the device.
