4.1.1 Cleaning Precautions
1. Follow universal precautions for
protective apparel when handling and
cleaning contaminated instruments.
2. Clean instruments within 30 minutes after
use to minimize the potential of blood and
debris drying prior to cleaning.
3. After use, shaver blades and burs may be a
potential biohazard and should be handled
in accordance with acceptable medical
practice and applicable local and national
requirements.
4. Dispose of all non-reusable tubing
sets, irrigation tips, burs, saw blades
and bits properly after use.
5. Do not lubricate any handpieces.
6. Do not immerse the controller,
K501 Mini-Adapter, E9320 APEX
Adapter, footswitches,
attachments, or handpieces (unless
indicated - see “4.1.3 Handpiece
Cleaning Instructions” on page 118).
7. For aluminum surfaces, a neutral-pH agent
should be used. To prevent corrosion, avoid
contact with strong alkaline solutions
(pH over 10.5) or agents containing iodine
or chlorine.
8. Never clean handpieces with bleach,
chlorine-based detergents, liquid or
chemical disinfectants, or any products
containing sodium hydroxide (i.e.,
INSTRU-KLENZ, Buell Cleaner). They
will degrade the coatings.
9. Never clean equipment in an ultrasonic
cleaner or a combination washer/sterilizer.
4.1.2 Controller and Footswitch
Cleaning Instructions
1. Disconnect the controller from the
electrical power source.
2. Wipe the controller, footswitch, Mini-
Adapter (K501) and APEX Adapter
(E9320) with a clean, soft cloth dampened
with a mild, pH-balanced detergent.
(a) Thoroughly clean the tubing cassette
roller area on the controller. Ensure
rollers are free of all debris.
(b) Be sure to wipe the underside of the
footswitch to ensure no metal objects
have attached themselves.
3. Wipe equipment again with distilled or
sterilized water to prevent metal
discoloration.
4.1.3 Handpiece Cleaning Instructions
Clean handpieces and attachments as soon as
possible after use.
