liquids, because it could get damaged.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the
handpiece in an ultrasonic tank.
NOTE: Choose between the following
cleaning methods.
In case the practice is not equipped with a
thermodisinfector, the cleaning process can
begin with the manual cleaning (
Chapter
4.2.3 on page 20
) and proceed with the
sterilization (
Chapter 4.2.7 on page 31
).
In case the practice is equipped with a
thermodisinfector the cleaning process
can be performed with automatic cleaning
(

is always the sterilization (
Chapter 4.2.7 on
page 31
).
CAUTION: The cleaning and sterilizing
operations described in the following
paragraphs are to be performed upon initial
use and prior to all successive uses.
CAUTION: The following instructions
have been validated by the medical device
manufacturer as ABLE to reprocess a
medical device for being reused. It is up to
the process responsible to assure that the
repeated processes are actually performed by
means of equipment, materials and personnel
structured as repeated processes in order
to obtain the desired result. Generally this
requires the validation and the systematic
monitoring of the process. Similarly, in
case the person in charge of the process
deviates from the supplied instructions,
he shall properly evaluate any action and
their eciency and the possible undesired
consequences.
