Sterilization

To maximize your instruments life, follow these steps:

1. Clean instruments in the ultrasonic for 7-10 minutes using proper solution. Ultra-sonic is NOT recommended for cutting pliers as it could dull or damage the cutting edge. For cutters, use high-volume sterile water. Never use any hard objects such as metal brush or pan scratcher to clean instrument as this would destroy the outer surface and increase the danger of oxidation

2. Rinse instruments with distilled or filtered water. Rinsing with regular tap water may contain high level of silicate, which leads to stains formation on instruments during sterilization.

3. Dry instruments with compressed air especially the joint area

4. Sterilize with:

• DRY HEAT Sterilize for 6-30 minutes at 160º C based on equipment instruction. Do NOT sterilize at tem-peratures exceeding 180º C as this may dull the cutting edges, impair the tip hardness, and/or cause discoloration. All hinged instruments should be placed open • AUTOCLAVE sterilize for 12 minutes at 134º C using sterile water. Do NOT mix rusty instruments with clean instruments as a rusty film could be formed on the clean instruments. • COLD (2% Glutaraldehyde) Immerse instruments in the prepared bath for recommended time. Never leave instruments in the bath overnight or over the weekend. After cold sterilization, pliers and instruments must be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed with distilled water to remove any chemical residues.

Lubrication; Lubrication is recommended for hinged instruments with paraffin-oil spray, Do NOT use WD40 or . With dry heat, only lubricate inside the joint as the outer area may get stained when contaminated with oil

Clean Store Rinse Dry
