6. 1 UNIT AND ACCESSORIES
(not including handpieces and tips)
A preliminary maintenance procedure should be
carried out on the unit and its accessories every
time the device is to be used. This maintenance
procedure can be broken down into 3 phases:
• Cleaning (unit and accessories)
• Decontamination (unit and accessories)
• Sterilization (accessories)
Recommended maintenance procedure:
1) Clean and disinfect the unit and accessories
using a suitable product or with special
disinfectant wipes for dental applications.
Avoid using cleaning agents and disinfectants
containing inflammable substances.
2) Remove any fluid that might have penetrated
into openings
decontamination.
3) Put the decontaminated accessories into the
sterilization box (Figure 1, #I).
Components made of different types of metal
should not be allowed to come into contact
with one another during sterilization (because
of the risk of damage if electrolytic couples
are formed).
4) Wrap the sterilization box in cloth or put it
into a sterilization pouch.
5) Sterilize in a Type B autoclave (18 minutes
steam-sterilization at 134°C and a pressure of
2 bar (200hPa).
