16.2. Procedural Instruction part II: Apex-cable, D-Pack-handpiece and BackFill-gun
Note: (This instruction is valid for new products also)
1. Apex-cable (the main cable without file-cable with file-clip as well as lip contact)
2. Down-Pack hand piece with cable and
3. BackFill gun with cable
are to be wipe-disinfected (see A.), they can be cleaned and disinfected with a disposable tissue applying quick-acting-
disinfection-spray FD 333 www.duerrdental.com exposure time 5 min (wipe out the edges carefully) completely be wet
surfaces (do not apply the disinfectant directly onto the hand pieces, but spray it on a tissue) observe instructions of the
spray manufacturer. The following components are intended for manual cleaning and steam sterilization
(B.):
1. file-cable with file-clip and the lip-clip (not the main Apex-cable with plug)
2. nut (the screw-cap of the DownPack hand piece), O-ring (blue) and pen-tip (heating instruments)
3. heat insulator and needle (the disposable needles are to be processed before usage)
CAUTION:
During the cleaning of electronical hand pieces it is necessary to pay attention on the
process.
Expose the autoclaveable components to 138°C maximum.
Hand pieces (gun) and cables may not be submerged in fluids!
The processing has to be done be skilled personnel only.
Automatic-cleaning is not possible.
Restrictions of treatment: Frequent treatment has no or little impact on this instrument. The end of the lifetime is
usually determined by wear and damages caused by usage.
Needles are to be used only once!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Destination of usage: Remove surface contaminations with a disposable (paper) tissue.
Note regarding the B-Fill (BackFill) gun: Empty the Guttapercha filling completely by
actuating the gun (in operating condition). Now press the silver coloured locking knob and
pull the piston (using the black button) out of the gun.
Storage and transport: Hand pieces (gun) and cables are to be processed immediately after usage. Do not allow
residuals to dry, do not use protein fixing cleaning or disinfection agents.
Avoid waiting time.
(BackFill gun has to be cooled down)
Preparation before cleaning: 1. Disconnect lip contact from the apex-cable
2. Detach pen tip, nut (screw cap) and O-ring
3. Remove the heat insulator and unscrew the needle from the cooled gun
(dispose the needle appropriately). Press the locking knob of the BackFill gun
(11a) and turn the knob (knurled) of the guide-cylinder (11d) for approximately 180° to the
left. Now release the locking knob and pull the knurled knob slowly out of the housing
(about 2 cm).Turn the knurl knob for another 90° to the left (nose points upwards). Press
the locking knob and pull the guide-cylinder entirely out of the gun. (The piston with the
black knob, as well as the guide-cylinder are intended to be wipe-disinfected together with
the BackFill gun)
(see picture in the operating manual)
Cleaning: automatic: Caution: The product is not designed for automatic-cleaning
Cleaning: manual:
A. (all parts which may not be steam-sterilized and the file cord)
- Equipment: Quick-acting-disinfection-spray FD 333

www.duerrdental.com, disposable
tissues
- Process: Spray a disposable tissue with FD 333 and thoroughly wipe the cables as well
as handpieces (or gun), guide cylinder and piston (see above); remove adhesions, be wet
surfaces completely, exposure time 5 min (observe instructions of the spray manufacturer)
(Neither the inner parts of the handpiece (or gun), nor the plug may come in contact with
any fluids, therefore do not spray them directly).
After an initially cleaning of the BackFill gun insert the cleaning drill from the muzzle, by
screwing it into the heating chamber of the gun. Residues of cooled Guttapercha can be
removed (move back and forth through the piston). Now dip the cleaning brush of the gun
into Isopropanol 70% (the brush should only be damped, but not drop) and brush the gun
inwardly. Repeat this procedure until all residues are removed.
Disinfection: - Equipment: Quick-acting-disinfection-spray FD 333

www.duerrdental.com, disposable
tissues
- Process: Spray a disposable tissue with FD 333 and thoroughly wipe the cords as well as
the handpieces (or gun), guide cylinder and piston again, be wet the entire surface,
exposure time 5 min (observe instructions of the spray manufacturer) (exposure time
depends on the potential germs).
Subsequently rinse the guide-cylinder and piston of the BackFill gun with de-ionized water
containing low levels of germs and endotoxines (aqua purificata).
Wipe the heating chamber with brush and aqua purificata. It is vital to ensure that the
cleaning agents are removed completely (for further instructions see C.)
