Water
WARNING: Use filtered water for diluting detergents
and for rinsing the equipment. Mineral residues from
hard water can stain the equipment and/or prevent
effective cleaning and decontamination.
CAUTION: Poor water quality can adversely affect the
life of medical devices. ALWAYS follow the water quality
requirements per Association for the Advancement of
Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) TIR 34.
Warm water with an optimum temperature range of 27 to
44 °C is recommended for cleaning. The water should not
exceed 60 °C and should be warm to the touch.
Detergents
WARNINGS:
▪ To clean the equipment, use specifically formulated
detergents only.
▪ Read, understand, and follow the indications,
instructions, and safety information supplied with the
detergent for correct handling and use of the product.
▪ ALWAYS prepare the detergent solution according to
the manufacturer's recommendations. Pay particular
attention to the concentration used and the total
dispersion.
CAUTIONS:
▪ To clean the equipment, a mild alkaline detergent
(neutral up to pH 8.5) is preferred.
▪ DO NOT use detergent solution with pH levels higher
than 8.5. See the detergent SDS to verify the pH
range. Failure to comply may damage the equipment.
▪ When cleaning handpieces and attachments, ALWAYS
use a detergent that is suitable for aluminum and
stainless steel surfaces.
NOTE: Stryker recommends the specified validated
detergent (if available) for manual cleaning; however,
other products may perform equally well or better.
Alternative detergents must be verified by referencing
the information provided by the product supplier and/or
physical testing.

Preparation for Cleaning
Point of Use
CAUTION: DO NOT use saline to wet or soak the
equipment before transport to the decontamination
processing area.
NOTE: If transport to the decontamination processing
area is delayed, cover the equipment with a damp cloth
or spray the equipment with a pretreatment foam as often
as necessary to maintain moisture. The pretreatment
foam will minimize the drying of soil and facilitate later
decontamination processing. DO NOT allow pretreatment
foam to dry on the equipment.
1. Separate reusable equipment from disposable waste.
2. Discard waste into an appropriate container; use a
puncture-resistant container for sharps.
3. Use absorbent wipes to remove gross soil from the
equipment.
Transport to Decontamination
Processing Area
WARNING: During transport, pay particular attention
to sharp, cutting edges to avoid injury.
CAUTION: Avoid mechanical damage during transport. DO
NOT mix heavy devices with delicate devices.
Clean the equipment as soon as practical, typically within
two hours, to preclude extended or repeated cleaning
procedures.
Cleaning
WARNINGS:
▪ Clean the equipment as indicated before first and
every use.
▪ Use the cleaning methods as indicated in these
instructions. Other cleaning methods may prevent
proper sterilization of the equipment.
▪ Prior to cleaning, remove single use cutting and
fixation tools, attachments, transfer shields, and power
modules from the handpieces.
