Sterilisation Method
The scaler handpiece and other sterilisable
accessories are manufactured with materials
resistant to a maximum temperature of 135°C
for a maximum time of 20 minutes.
Once the scaler handpiece and the other
sterilisable
accessories
into bags individually, perform the steam

compliant with standard UNI EN ISO 11607-1.
The sterilisation process validated by Mectron
S.p.A., in an autoclave with steam, guarantees
a SAL 10

below:
• Type of cycle: 3 times Pre-vacuum
(pressure min. 60 mBar).
• Minimum sterilisation temperature:
132°C (interval 0°C÷ +3°C).
• Minimum sterilisation time:

• Minimum drying time: 20 minutes.
All stages of sterilisation must be carried out
by the operator in compliance with the most
current version of standards: UNI EN ISO
