Q!

Instruments with interchangeable heads: remove the heads from the reducing shank for separate servicing and treat for 1 second with a corresponding attachment (this is generally not possible with speed-increasing contra-angles and turbines). In some cases, surgical instruments can be dismantled for cleaning and servicing (see instructions for use).

Do not place KaVo instruments and turbines in disinfectant solutions or clean them in ultrasonic devices.

1. Cleaning externally (manual)Manual cleaning of the exteriorAccessories required:•Tap water 30 °C ±5 °C (86 °F ±10 °F)•Brush under running tap water using, e.g.,

a medium-hardness toothbrush.

Thermal disinfection: not packed in the steriliserKaVo medical devices bearing the sterilisation sym-bol, can be sterilised in steam sterilisers (autoclaves), as per EN 13060/ISO 17665-1 and have a maximum temperature stability of up to 138 °C. KaVo MULTIflex couplings are not sterilisable.

4. Disinfection

External and internal cleaning / external and internal disinfectionKaVo recommends washer disinfectors in accordance with EN ISO 15883-1 that are operated with alkaline cleaning agents.

•For program settings as well as cleansers and disinfectants to be used, please refer to the instructions for use of the washer disinfector

•In order to ensure residual liquids do not damage the KaVo medical device, the interior and the exterior must be dried. Remove any residual liquids from the interior and exterior of the medi-cal device using compressed air. Immediately after drying, lubricate with care agents from the KaVo care system

Note:

The current regulations on validating the devices locally must be complied with, and be instigated and validated by the owner.Please also comply with the detailed information in the instructions for use of the medical devices.

Manual Reprocessing Reprocessing with QUATTROcare CLEAN

Wipe the outside of instru-ments immediately after the end of the treatment with an approved disinfection agent (e.g. with Minuten-Wipes/ALPRO) in order to protect the practice team.

!Hazard due to incomplete disinfection.The disinfection procedures used must be verified to have bactericidal, fungi-cidal and virucidal effects. If the disinfectants used do not offer the prescribed characteristics, the process must be concluded with thermal disinfection of devices in unpacked condition in the steam steriliser.

QUATTROcare Plus has a programme for the care of the chuck.KaVo recommends servicing the chucking system/the chuck of the instruments and turbines once every week.

QUATTROcare Clean has a programme for servicing the chuck (programme no. 4). KaVo recommends servicing the chucking system/the chuck of the instruments and turbines once every week.

Putting the products back into clinical useDirectly prior to providing treatment, place instru-ments and turbines onto the motor or MULTIflex coupling. Activate handpiece and let it run for a few seconds. Wipe off any excess lubrication oil that may exit the instrument.

3. Manual careManual careKaVo Spray 2112 AKaVo recommends servicing the medical device as part of the reprocessing after each use, i.e. after each cleaning, disinfection, and before each sterilisation.•Removing the cutter or grinder•Cover the medical device with the Cleanpac bag•Plug the medical device onto the connection set

and press the spray button for 2 seconds.

2. Manual disinfectionManual disinfection of the exteriorKaVo recommends the following disinfecting devices based on the compatibility of the materials. The microbiological efficacy must be confirmed by the disinfectant manufacturer.•Disinfectants compatible with the medical devices:•Microcide AF by Schülke & Mayr

(Liquid or cloths)•FD 322 made by Dürr•WL-cid made by ALPRO•MinutenWipes made by ALPRO

Manual internal disinfection The efficacy of manual internal disinfection must be demonstrated by the manufacturer of the disinfec-tion agent. With KaVo handpieces, use only disinfec-tion agents that have been listed by KaVo, to ensure compatibility of materials (e.g. WL-cid / ALPRO).Immediately after internal disinfection, lubricate the KaVo medical device immediately with care agents from the KaVo care system.

1. Manual cleaningManual cleaning of the exteriorAccessories required:•Tap water 30 °C ±5 °C (86 °F ±10 °F)•Brush under running tap water using,

e.g. a medium-hardness toothbrush.

Manual interior cleaningKaVo CLEANspray 2110:Validated manual interior cleaning (residual protein removal) can only be accomplished with KaVo CLEANspray and KaVo DRYspray.•Cover the medical device with the KaVo Cleanpac

bag, and place it on the corresponding servicing adapter. Hold the can upright, press the spray button 3x for 2 seconds each time and allow to take effect for 1 minute.

KaVo DRYspray 2117:Used for subsequent drying of the air, water and gear unit ducts. Place the corresponding connection set on the DRYspray head. Place medical device on the service coupling and spray through for 3-5 seconds. KaVo Cleanpac bags offer optimum infection protection for the personnel.

Care with KaVo SPRAYrotorKaVo recommends servicing the medical device as part of the reprocessing after each use, i.e. after each cleaning, disinfection, and before each sterilisation.

•Place the medical device on the matching coupling on the KaVo SPRAYrotor and cover with the Cleanpac bag

•Service the medical device

Servicing the chuckKaVo recommends cleaning and servicing the chucking system once every week.

Consumables required:

Cloths for wiping off the medical device.

•Spray the disinfectant on a cloth, then wipe down the medical device and allow the disinfect-ant to act according to the instructions of the disinfectant manufacturer.

•Follow the instructions for use of the disinfectant.
