The outer parts of the equipment must be cleaned and disinfected using a product for hospital use with
indicationsforHIV,HBVandtuberculocidal(medium-leveldisinfectant)specicforsmallsurfaces.
The various drugs and chemical products used in dental surgeries may damage the painted surfaces and
the plastic parts. Researches and tests performed show that the surfaces cannot be fully protected against

whenever possible.
The harsh actions of chemical products also depend on the amount of time they are left on the surfaces.
It is therefore important not to leave the product on the surfaces longer than the time specied by the
manufacturer.

• Ethanol at 96%. Concentration: maximum 30 g per 100 g of disinfectant.

disinfectant.
• Combination of ethanol and 1-propanol. Concentration: the combination of the two should be maximum
40 g per 100 g of disinfectant.
In particular, STER 1 PLUS (CEFLA S.C.) is recommended for daily cleaning operations.
