3.1 Remove the cap from the fluid container and sterilise both items by autoclaving before use. The irrigation tube and filter
must also be autoclaved before use (see Section 4).
NOTE
Remove the cap from the fluid container and autoclave separately. Otherwise, effective autoclaving will not be
possible, which could pose an infection control risk or cause tissue irritation.
The irrigation tube should be kept as straight as possible during autoclaving to avoid a permanent set forming.
A colour change in the irrigation tubing is normal after autoclaving, this will not affect performance and will
recover if left to rest.
3.2 Place the OFP on a level flat surface below patient level, ensuring the fluid container is not exposed to heat emitted from
adjacent equipment, such as a light source.
3.3 Insert the footswitch tube into the footswitch connection port on the front panel ( Figure 3-1).
