CLEANING AND INFECTION
CONTROL OF THE DIGITEST 3
• Autoclaving and disinfecting do not remove
accumulated debris. Before autoclaving or
disinfecting, scrub the components with a brush,
or clean in an ultrasonic cleaner, using warm,
soapy water.
• DO NOT AUTOCLAVE THE DIGITEST 3
POWER UNIT, AS THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE
TO IT.
• The Power Unit should be protected
using properly-sized disposable plastic
barrier sleeves.
• Since the Digitest 3 incorporates sophisticated
electronic circuitry, it should not be directly
sprayed with or soaked in disinfectant. The
device may be disinfected by wiping it with a
damp cloth or paper towel moistened with an
EPA-approved high-level surface disinfectant,
then wiped with a water-damp paper towel to
remove chemical residue, and then dried with
another paper towel.
• Follow the surface disinfecting protocol specified
by the disinfectant manufacturer.
• For further information, consult the Centers
for Disease Control website at CDC.gov,
referencing the most recent version of the
"Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental
Health-Care Settings".

• The Tooth Probes, Ground Clip and Wire
Assembly may be sterilized in any conventional
steam autoclave (132-135C for 15 min for
Gravity Displacement units, or 4 minutes
for Pre-vacuum Cycle units, followed by a
15-minute minimum cool down interval).
Comply with the autoclave manufacturer's
recommended procedure, if different.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

• Do not open the Digitest 3 Power Unit, except
to change the battery. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside. Internal repairs are to
be made only by authorized Parkell personnel,
by returning the unit to the service address at the
end of these instructions.
• Avoid dropping the Power Unit or subjecting it to
physical shock.
• Battery should be removed if unit is to be stored
unused for more than 30 days.
• To prolong battery life, the device automatically
turns off after 14 seconds of inactivity.
• When the battery is low, the letters "LO" will blink
on the screen when the device is initially turned
on. If the battery is low, replace it as explained in
the section "Installing/Replacing the Battery".
• If a Tooth Probe becomes loose in the mount of
the Power Unit, it may be tightened by carefully
inserting a flat screwdriver blade into the split
metal base of the probe and gently expanding
the sides apart with a twist of the tool (Figure 2).
• Discard and replace any Tooth Probe if the metal
or the insulation becomes damaged during use.
