RE-PROCESSING
Rapid sterilization method (USA: Immediate-use steam ster-
ilization) and the sterilization method of unpackaged instru-
ments (USA: Unwrapped sterilization) are not permitted.
Dry heat sterilization, radiation sterilization and sterilization
using formaldehyde, ethylene oxide or plasma are also not
permitted.
An independent, accredited, recognised (Section 15 (5) MPG)
test laboratory demonstrated the instruments' intrinsic suit-
ability for effective steam sterilization using the HST 6x6x6
steam sterilizer (Zirbus Technology GmbH, Bad Grund) togeth-
er with the fractionated vacuum method and the gravity meth-
od. The laboratory used typical conditions found in clinics and
dental practices, as well as the procedure described above, to
demonstrate this.
Storage
After sterilization, instruments must be stored in the steriliza-
tion packaging and kept dry and dust-free.
Important Information on material resistance
When selecting cleaning and disinfecting agents, make sure
that they do not contain any of the following substances:
• Phenol;
• Strong acids (ph <6) or strong alkalis (ph >8), neutral en-
zymatic
cleaning agent recommended;
• Aldehydes;
• Anti-corrosive substances (especially di- or triethanola-
mine);
• Oxidants (hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite over 5%
strength);
• NiTi instruments may only be placed in oxidants (< 5%
strength sodium hypochlorite) for a maximum of 5 minutes;
• Solvents;
• Oils:
Warning: Never clean the instruments, boxes, modules or
the interim stand with metal brushes or wire wool.
Never subject any instruments, boxes, modules or the interim
stand to temperatures above 142°C (288°F). It is particularly
important to ensure that the products to be sterilised are not
stored too close to the walls or floor of the steam steriliser
(risk of excessive temperature and deformation).
The blue foam insert for the interim stand must only be used
once and must neither be cleaned/disinfected nor sterilised.
Re-use
Instruments can be reused several times – with proper care
and if they are not damaged and contaminated;. See Table 3
below. Each re-use or application of non-validated methods is
the sole responsibility of the user.
Certain applications may cause the instruments to premature-
in Line with DIN EN ISO 17664/AAMI ST81
ly reach the end of their useful life. The maximum number of
preparations will not always be reached.
All liability is disclaimed for failure to follow these instructions
or use of non-validated methods for the re-use of instruments.
Please always ensure that sterile packaging/wrapping is un-
damaged.
Disposal
For proper disposal, always observe national laws and recom-
mendations of the authorities.
