Infection Control:
Always use standard personal protective equipment such as facemasks, eyewear, face shields,
gloves, and protective gowns.
In addition to using protective equipment, ensure that your water supply system conforms to
applicable Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and American Dental Association
(ADA) standards, and that all required flushing, chemical flushing, and general infection control
procedures are followed.
To further protect against infection, using distilled or purified water is recommended.
Cleaning and Sterilization:

after each treatment:
1. Hand piece
2. Tips
3. Metal Wrenches

withstand a maximum temperature of 135℃ or (275℉) for a maximum of 3 minutes. After
completing the sterilization cycle, air-dry for about 20-30 minutes before reusing.
