Cleaning and Disinfection: Motor Handpiece
and Charging Base
• Clean all the surfaces with CaviWipes™ or a cloth lightly
moistened with other intermediate level disinfectant per
manufacturer instructions.
• Use a cotton swab and a small, soft brush moistened with
CaviCide™ or other intermediate level disinfectant to
remove any soil that may have accumulated in crevices
(e.g. between Button and the body of the device, between
the LCD display and the body of the device). Wipe the device
with additional CaviWipes™ or cloths lightly moistened
with intermediate level disinfectant until no visible soil is
detected on the cloth. Visually inspect the device/charging
base to assure cleanliness. If any contamination is visible,
repeat the cleaning steps. Use one more CaviWipes™ or a
cloth moistened with disinfectant to ensure that no residual
contaminants are left on the device.
• Use a clean cloth lightly moistened with distilled water and
wipe all device surfaces. Device is ready for reuse when all

Cleaning, Lubrication and Sterilization of the
Contra Angle
The contra angle must be lubricated and sterilized after cleaning.
Frequent use and reprocessing may cause wear to the contra
angle chuck. If symptoms such as wear or discoloration appears,
the contra angle should be replaced.
Cleaning:
1. Thoroughly clean the contra angle immediately after each
patient use, following the cleaning steps to prevent drying
of soil and contaminants.
2. The contra angle should be inspected prior to cleaning
for the appearance of defects such as deformations or
corrosion, which are indicators that the instruments are not
in conditions to be re-used and must be discarded.
3. Immerse the contaminated contra angle in tap water for
5 minutes.
4. Using isopropyl alcohol containing tissue (ex. Cavi Wipes),
wipe all surfaces twice for 1 minute.
5. Rinse with tap water for 30 seconds.
6. Wipe off the water with a soft cotton cloth.
7. Dry at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
8. If the device is determined not to be visually clean at the
end of the cleaning step, the user should either repeat the
relevant previous cleaning steps.
Lubrication and Packaging :
Lubricate the contra angle at least once a day after using the
device or before sterilization.
Nozzle tip
1. Please attach the nozzle tip into the spray. (Note : The nozzle
tip is not provided in the package.)
2. Cover the head of the contra angle with gauze or cloth.
Hold the contra angle tightly enough not to slip from the
hands by the spray pressure.
3. Clean the inside of the chuck by spraying the lubricant
toward the file insertion area of the contra angle for about
2-3 seconds while slightly pressing the push button. Repeat
2-3 times until no foreign materials come out.
Gear
4. Apply 1-2 drops of oil into the gear area of contra angle and
put the contra angle in a paper cup with its head facing
down for 10 minutes. Then, place the contra angle on
the gauze with its head facing up to allow any excessive
lubricants to drain. (Recommended time : 2 hours)
5. Wipe the oil on the surface of contra angle with the tissue
and then alcohol gauze.
