IV - STERILIZATION
a) Lifetime
Tip shape and weight are the determining
characteristics for obtaining maximal efficiency
of the ultrasonic generator.
Careful
monitoring
characteristics by the user will ensure that
optimal performance of the device is maintained.
Consequently, you are strongly advised not to
alter the structure of the tips by filing or twisting
them or modifying them in any other way.
Similarly, through normal wear, tip aging
leads to alteration of its characteristics.
Always replace a tip that has been damaged by
wear or by accidental impact (dropped, bent,
etc.).
of

two
Replace routinely-used tips at least once a
year.
b) Pre-disinfection / chemical cleaning
To be carried out immediately after treatment,
wearing thick gloves.
Immerse in an ultrasonic bath (enzymatic,
quaternary ammonium base detergent /
disinfectant solution), carefully respecting the
concentration and contact time recommended by
the manufacturer of the solution.
Use a solution that bears the EC marking or that
is in compliance with any standard required by
the national regulations.
Rinse under running water for at least 30
seconds.
