CAUTION
• To prevent infectiveness, Autoclave the handpiece every patient.
• Do not autoclave the handpiece, even when it is bagged, together with other instruments, from which chemicals are not sufficiently cleaned.
This is to avoid discoloration and/or damage to the plating of the handpiece.
• In case the sterilizer chamber temperature could exceed 135°C during the dry cycle, skip the dry cycle.
• Do not heat or cool the handpiece quickly. Rapid change in temperature could break the glass rod or dynamo or LED parts.
