6.2. Lubrification
This should be done before using for the first time, and before each sterilisation.
Keep away from any source of heat or ignition.
In particular, do not smoke!
Wear a protective face mask.
- Place a turbine-type nozzle (P/N 1933X) on the spray can.
- Place the spray can nozzle into the opening located on the backside of the torque wrench.
- Maintain the spray can nozzle against the torque wrench until the pressure drops again.
Vaporise 1 to 2 seconds. The oil passes over the entire instrument, acting as a cleanser and
a lubricant. Prior to each sterilisation, lubrication is to be carried out using a spray can.

6.3. Sterilisation
We strongly recommend the use of a class B steriliser.
Any other method of sterilisation should be avoided.
g
Read the instruction leaflet provided by the steriliser manufacturer. Adhere to
the space specified between pouches and do not overload the steriliser.
- Only sterilise instruments which have previously been disinfected, cleaned,
lubricated and tested.
- Remove the rotating instrument from the torque wrench prior to sterilisation.
(See §5.1)
- Make sure that the device does not have any areas of corrosion or cracks, and check that it is
operating properly. Ensure that the product is dry; if necessary, dry any residual water with medical
quality pressurised air.
- Use sterilisation pouches suitable for the torque wrench and the steriliser.
Always use one single torque wrench per pouch.
- In order to provide any retention of water, place the pouch in the steriliser in such a way that any
concave parts are face down.
- If the steriliser has several types of cycle, choose a cycle designed for medical devices (a minimum
of 135°C at 2.13 bars (275°F at 30.88 psi) for 18 minutes.)
