Clip the Manifold Tubing to the Handpiece Cable (Optional)
Manifold tubing is sterile, single use only. You have two options for
attaching the tubing to the handpiece:
• Attach the manifold tubing before sterilization.
• Attach the manifold tubing on the sterile field.
Whether you attach the tubing before or after sterilization, discard it after
one use.
If you decide to clip the manifold tubing onto the handpiece cable before
sterilization, follow this procedure:
1. Remove the manifold tubing with clips from the packaging. Uncoil the
tubing.
2. Snap the handpiece clip
in place on the handpiece
housing.
3. Push one to three
manifold tubing clips
onto the handpiece cable.
Note: It is only necessary
to attach one to three
clips, but you can attach
all five clips in the
package.
