6.3.2 STEAM STERILIZATION STEPS
1. Place the intraoral tips in a single-use sterilization pouch compatible with steam sterilization complying with the ISO 11607-
1 standard. Please refer to manufacturer’s instructions for use for proper sizing and use of sterilization pouches.
NOTE: SOPRO recommends the use of self-seal sterilization bags for routine steam sterilization in dental offices. Self-seal
pouches are pre-folded and assure accurate and fast closing without the requirement of a heat-sealing device. They are
especially suited for use in small general practices, dental surgeries and by users who want to avoid the cost of additional sealing
equipment and they are made of high-grade medical paper and multilayer PET/PP copolymer film.
2. Place the packaged device correctly and loosely into a prevacuum class B sterilizer so as not to impede penetration of the
sterilant (moist heat).
3. Autoclave using with the following parameters:

4. Sterile device should be stored in a manner that does not compromise packaging.
CAUTION:
 Packages should always be inspected and evaluated before use for loss of integrity (e.g., torn, punctured or wet).
 Any package that has fallen on the floor must be inspected for damage to the packaging and its contents.
 If the package is heat-sealed in impervious plastic and the seal is still intact, the package can be considered not
contaminated. If undamaged, items in packaged plastic need not be reprocessed.
 If the integrity of the package is compromised, repack, and reprocess the pack before use.
6.4 DISINFECTION OF INTRAORAL CAMERAS
Only the handpiece is affected by the disinfection procedure described below.
In case of contact with blood or excessive soiling, it is strongly recommended to follow a disinfecting process.
Clean the handpiece with disinfecting wipes.
Wrap the handpiece in several disinfecting wipes and leave for 15 minutes.
Take off the wipes and remove excess moisture.
Wipe the equipment until visible cleanliness is obtained.
Allow to dry in the open air.
