Operating Mode
Remove the contra-angle from the
motor handpiece and detach the files
from the chuck.
Put the contra-angle into the washer-
disinfector (Ao value >3000 or, at
least 5 min at 90°C/194°F)
Inspect the contra-angle and sort out
those with defects.
Pack the contra-angle in
"Sterilization pouches".
Steam sterilization at 134°C (274°F)
for 3 minutes.
Keep the contra-angle in sterilization
packaging in a dry and clean
environment.
Warning
- Avoid any contact between the contra-

moving to the next step.
- Dirty contra-angle must be cleaned and
disinfected again.
- Lubricate the contra-angle with an
adequate spray before packaging.
- Check the validity period of the pouch
given by the manufacturer to determine
the shelf life.
- Use packaging which is resistant to a
temperature up to 141°C (286°F) and in
accordance with EN ISO 11607.
- Use only autoclaves that are matching
the requirements of EN 13060, EN 285.
- Use a validated sterilization procedure
according to ISO 17665.
- Respect the maintenance procedure of
the autoclave device given by the

- Use only this recommended sterilization
procedure.
- Control the efficiency (packaging
integrity, no humidity, color change of
sterilization indicators, physico-chemical
integrators, digital records of cycles
parameters).
- Maintain traceability of procedure
records.
- Sterility cannot be guaranteed if
packaging is open, damaged or wet.
