Subsequent uses: After every treatment,
clean and sterilize all the reusable parts
and accessories, following the instructions
provided in the Cleaning and Sterilization
Manual.
WARNING: The cleaning processes
must be commenced immediately after
each use. Do not allow that contaminated
instruments dry up before starting the
cleaning and sterilization process. To
eliminate organic remains such as blood,
bone, and other, use an enzymatic
detergent with neutral pH (pH7),
immediately after use.
CAUTION: Do not use metallic

CAUTION: The detergent solution
must be completely removed from the
treated parts to prevent accumulation of
chemical residues.

only use detergents with pH 6-9.

disinfectant solutions with a neutral
pH (pH 7). Alcohol-based disinfectant

materials. This also holds true for chemical
products such as acetone and alcohol.
Always rinse with sterile water to preserve
the disinfection.

unless where explicitly indicated.
