Maintenance and Cleaning
Sterilization of the light guide
Thorough cleaning and disinfecting is imperative to ensure that the subsequent sterilization is effective. Use only
autoclave sterilization for this purpose: 3x pre-vacuum, sterilization time (exposure time at sterilization temperature)
is 4 minutes at 134 °C (273 °F); pressure should be 2 bar (29 psi). Use nationally approved sterilization pouches.
Dry the sterilized light guide (10 min) using either the special drying program of your steam autoclave or hot air.
The light guide has been tested for up to 200 sterilization cycles.
Checking the light guide
After that, check the light guide for damage. Hold it against the light. If individual segments appear black, glass
fibres are broken. If this is the case, replace the light guide with a new one. If you can still see signs of contamination
on the light guide, the cleaning and disinfecting procedure must be repeated.
