CAUTION
ŘUse an FDA-approved steam sterilizer to perform sterilization.
ŘFollow local rules, regulations, and guidelines regarding the reprocessing of devices.
ŘImmediately after sterilization is complete (within 1 hour), remove the motor from the sterilizer. Failure to do so
may cause corrosion.
ŘDo not sterilize the control unit, main unit, AC adapter, AC power cord, motor cord.
ŘDo not lubricate the motor. It may cause overheating and product failure.
ŘDo not perform steam sterilization the product with other instruments even when it is in a pouch. This is to
prevent possible discoloration and damage to the product from chemical residue on other instruments.
ŘDo not heat or cool the product too quickly. Rapid change in temperature could cause damage to the motor.
ŘTo avoid product failure, do not use a sterilizer that exceeds a cycle temperature of 136°C, including the dry
cycle. In some sterilizers, the chamber temperature may exceed 136°C. Contact the sterilizer manufacturer for
detailed information about cycle temperatures.
ŘDo not touch the product immediately after steam sterilization as it will be very hot and must remain in a sterile
condition.
ŘSteam sterilization is recommended for the product. The validity of other sterilization methods (such as plasma
sterilization or EOG sterilization) is not confirmed.
ŘKeep the product in suitable atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, ventilation, and sunlight. The air
should be free from dust, salt and sulphur.
ŘSterility is not guaranteed after the sterility retention period specified by the manufacturer and seller of the
sterilization pouch has elapsed. If the sterility retention period has elapsed, perform sterilization again with a new
sterilization pouch.
