• Clean and lubricate the handpiece prior to sterilization. If blood remains on the internal surface it can become clotted and cause product failure.
• Do not heat or cool the product too quickly. Rapid change in temperature could cause damage to the product.
• Be sure to use sterilizers that can perform sterilization up to 135˚C. In some sterilizers, the chamber temperature may exceed 135˚C. Do not use these
sterilizers as failure of the handpiece could occur. Contact the sterilizer manufacturer for detailed information about cycle temperatures.
• Steam sterilization is recommended for the product. The validity of other sterilization methods (such as plasma sterilization or EOG sterilization) is not
confirmed.
