We recommend you to disinfect the Product every time before use.
Disinfectants can contain substances that are harmful for the
health; use disinfectants indicated by the national commission for
hygiene and disinfection, according to the hygienic standards
adopted by the Responsible Organization.
Do not use sharp, pointed or abrasive objects, to avoid the risk
-
of damaging surfaces.
Do not pour liquids directly on the Product.
-
Disinfect the Product with a damp but not wet cloth.
-
Use appropriate disinfectants with low alcohol content.
-
To prevent damaging the stainless-steel and aluminium parts,
-
use only disinfectants that do not contain chlorine or halogens.

-
indications on the manufacturer's technical data sheet, being
careful no liquids penetrate into the joints of the various parts of

6.4 Handpiece sterilization
The handpieces must be sterilized before use and can withstand
up to 200 cycles.
The Operator must comply with the rules of the national
commission for hygiene, disinfection and sterilization.
The handpieces are made of plastic material resistant to heat and
knocks (PSU - Polysulfone).
Replace the handpieces as soon as these become cracked or
deformed, as these could fall in the patient area.
Hand-piece fitting / removal:
press the stop catches located parallel with the grip and
-
remove this.
insert the grip until the catches click into and are blocked in the
-
handpiece holes.
Clean and disinfect the handpieces in the traditional way before
sterilization. They can be cleaned with a mid-alkaline detergent free
of active chlorine. To disinfect the handpieces, we suggest using
alcohol or aldehyde-based products. The disinfectants must be
approved by the manufacturer for use on polylsulfone (PSU). After
disinfecting, rinse off the detergent residues with plenty of water.
The handpieces fit into a suitable sterilization pack (disposable
sterilization pack, e.g., plastic/paper bags; single or double pack),
before being sterilized.
The handpieces can withstand about 200 steam sterilization cycles
in accordance with the following parameters:
steam sterilization at 121°C and 1.3 bar for 25 to 30 minutes
-
steam sterilization at 134°C and 2.3 bar for 4 minutes
-
Do not exceed a sterilization temperature of 134°C.
Strictly keep to the ISO 17665-1 standard.
