2. Place the Handpiece/Electrode in an autoclavable pouch or wrapped
cloth.
3. Steam sterilize for a period of 20 minutes at 250°F (121°C) or consult
an appropriate nationally recognized standard for sterilizing medical in-
strumentation. Do not ash autoclave or exceed 250°F.
4. Allow the Handpiece/Electrode to cool for 30 minutes prior to use.
5. Inspect the Handpiece/Electrode after sterilization for damage. If the
Handpiece/Electrode has deteriorated or cracked, or severe discoloration
or damage has occurred, discard and replace.
