3Shape TRIOS - Disposal

11
ENGLISH
After cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization, the color calibration kit must
be reassembled before use. Ensure that all parts are dry before reassembly.
If the kit is not used immediately, place the color calibration target in the
sleeve and leave the color calibration adaptor in the sterilization pouch.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The color calibration target is a delicate optical
component. During disassembly and assembly of the color
calibration kit only the end-part of the color calibration
target (opposite of the calibration patches) must be
touched, and the target must only be cleaned with air.
6.3 Cleaning and disinfecting other parts
of the system
After patient treatment, clean and disinfect all other surfaces of the system
(except the scanner tip and color calibration kit, for which the previous
sections apply).
Also note that the optical window is a delicate optical component and should
be handled with extra care during cleaning and disinfection (see below).
For general cleaning, a soft cloth and a mild detergent can be used.
Recommended disinfection solution:
Denatured alcohol (IPA – Isopropyl Alcohol or Ethanol) – typically 60-70% Vol.
To disinfect:
Step 1: Apply the disinfection solution to a soft lint-free non-abrasive
cloth; the cloth must only be damp.
Step 2: Wipe the surfaces with the damp cloth.
Step 3 (optical window on scanner only): Dry the optical window with
another clean, soft, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth.
CAUTION
The scanner’s optical window is a delicate optical
component. Its clean and undamaged surface is critical for
the scan quality. The window should be handled with care.
Make sure it is free from lint, stains, and other kinds of dirt.
CAUTION
Never submerge the TRIOS scanner into the cleaning solution.
CAUTION
Do not use ammonia-based or chloride based solutions or
acetone on any surface. Before returning the scanner to its
holder, ensure both are dry.
CAUTION
Do not spray directly onto the monitor, as the liquid solution
can accumulate at the seals and leak into the monitor.
NOTICE
The scanner shell might get yellow-toned over a long
period of use.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
All surfaces that the protection and/or calibration tip
comes in contact with, particularly the scanner tube and
its optical window, must always be cleaned and disinfected
before attaching the protection tip / the calibration tip.
6.4 Additional cleaning if you see poor scan quality
During scanning, the tip mirror may become unclean, resulting in a loss of
scan quality. In this situation, you can clean the mirror following these steps:
Step 1: Remove the scanner tip.
Step 2: Apply alcohol to a clean cloth or cotton-tipped swab and wipe
the tip mirror until it is clean. Use alcohol that is free of impurities, as
those may stain the mirror. Ethanol or propanol (ethyl-/propyl alcohol)
can be used.
Step 3: Wipe the tip mirror dry with a dry, lint-free cloth to avoid leaving
dust and fiber on the mirror.
CAUTION
Do not use acetone or any oxidizing solutions to clean the
tip mirror.
If you still see problems, check the scanner’s optical window for cleanliness,
and apply the same procedure if necessary.
