Sterilization Parameters
Sterilizing the Handpiece and Components with Steam
Sterilizing the handpiece with steam depends on the following factors:
• Temperature
• Exposure time
• Population and resistance of resident bioburden
• Method of air removal from the autoclave
Use the validated steam sterilization cycle parameters in these
instructions. If you deviate from this recommended method of sterilizing, it
is your Health Care Facility’s responsibility to validate the deviation. For
sterilizing the handpiece with steam, do not exceed 134°C (273.2°F).
CAUTION
Do not use sterilization methods involving temperatures in excess of
134ºC (273.2°F) as this may damage the handpiece.
