Inserts Tightening Wrench
Place the torque wrench in a clean
container, in a horizontal position. Add
enough enzymatic detergent solution to
completely cover the torque wrench.
Leave the torque wrench to soak in
the enzymatic detergent solution for
10 minutes at ambient temperature
(22 °C ±2 °C). This procedure reduces the
amount of blood, protein, and mucus on
the instrument(s);
While soaking in the enzymatic solution,
gently brush all the surfaces until all
visible soil has been removed.
Use a clean brush with soft nylon bristles
for the external surfaces, and a clean pipe
cleaner with soft nylon bristles for the
internal cavities and grooves.
NOTE: Thoroughly brush all the
following parts of the torque wrench for
about 20 seconds:
• Through-holes and internal
channels;
• Hard-to-clean areas such as
sharp edges and in particular, the
interstices between the cutting
cusps;
• External metal ring;
• Internal cavities, grooves and
fissures.
Remove the torque wrench from the
enzymatic detergent solution.
Thoroughly rinse and brush all the
surfaces of the torque wrench (see
previous point) under running water for
at least 10 minutes;
