CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Care and Cleaning Precautions:
1. DO NOT LUBRICATE. Lubrication of the MicroChoice™ handpieces
is not required.
2. NEVER IMMERSE MicroChoice handpieces, cords or Footswitch.
Immersion in any solution may permanently damage the handpiece or
Footswitch from liquid entering the mechanical parts. Some solutions
will corrode metal and delicate moving parts, and also may break down
internal lubricants and/or insulation.
3. NEVER CLEAN MICROCHOICE COMPONENTS WITH
LIQUID OR CHEMICAL DISINFECTANTS. This may damage
handpieces.
4. NEVER CLEAN MICROCHOICE COMPONENTS IN AN
ULTRASONIC CLEANER. Ultrasonic cleaning will dislodge
lubricants from the bearings and render handpieces inoperative.
5. HANDLE ALL POWERED SURGICAL EQUIPMENT
CAREFULLY. Should handpieces be dropped, they must be returned
for service.
6. BE SURE THE CORD IS SECURELY FASTENED TO THE
HANDPIECE AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE
CONTROLLER DURING CLEANING. Disconnect the handpiece
from the cord prior to sterilization.
7. STEAM STERILIZE MicroChoice components per the instructions on
page 56. DO NOT gas sterilize.
8. DISCONNECT the Handpiece Lever Cover prior to cleaning and
sterilization.
9. THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE DENTAL HEAD Attachments by
utilizing the Dental Head Cleaning Ring. Do not attempt to clean the
Angled Attachments in a similar manner.
10. BE SURE TO WIPE UNDERSIDE of the Footswitch to ensure that no
metal objects have attached themselves to the Footswitch.
