OPERATION
Preparing Items for Sterilization
• Clean and dry items thoroughly before
placing in the sterilizer. Ultrasonic
cleaning is recommended to remove
stubborn debris.
• After cleaning, rinse instruments
thoroughly with deionized or distilled
water. Inspect instruments to ensure that
all debris has been removed.
• Small bits of wax, oil, amalgam, etc., on
instruments can be dislodged during
sterilization and circulated through the
sterilizer piping. This could eventually
cause partial restriction of water flow
and the need for possible service.
• Unwrapped goods can be placed
directly on tray liner in the bottom of the
tray. Do not use paper towels.
• Open all hinged instruments.
• Uncover empty containers and place
them on their sides.
• Device manufacturers (i.e., manufactur-
ers of handpieces and specialty items)
instructions must be followed for proper
cleaning and sterilization of those
devices.
