These instructions are for use ONLY on the outer sheath and handpiece cradle. All
other parts of the system should be disinfected according to the procedures in the
"Disinfection" section.
The outer sheath and handpiece cradle for the MIDWEST
Prophy System are not sterile upon receipt and must be sterilized prior to use in
accordance with the following instructions.
The Handpiece Cradle may only be sterilized following the pre-vacuum sterilization
procedures. The Gravity Steam sterilization procedures have not been validated for the
Handpiece Cradle.
Do not use an automatic washer/disinfector for the sheath. Discoloration of material
will occur.
Repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles have minimum effect on these instruments.
End of life is normally determined by wear and damage due to use.
Do not use chemical disinfectants prior to sterilization or rapid deterioration of the
material may occur.
Cold liquid disinfection/sterilization, chemical vapor sterilization, and dry heat
sterilization methods have not been tested or validated for efficacy and are not
recommended for use.
Do not immerse the outer sheath or handpiece cradle in an ultrasonic bath.
Remove excess soil with disposable cloth or paper wipe.
It is recommended that instruments are reprocessed as soon as is reasonably practical
following use.
Protect the outer sheath and handpiece cradle from contact with other dental
instruments that may cause damage.
Remove the outer sheath from the inner module of the handpiece. Only the outer
sheath, color ring of the handpiece, and handpiece cradle may be steam-autoclave
sterilized.
Rinse the instruments with running water to remove any gross debris.
Disinfection of the instruments is not necessary prior to steam - autoclave sterilization.
Place each instrument in a separate paper or paper/plastic steam-sterilization pouch.
If using a sterilizing cassette, ensure that the sterilizer's maximum load is not exceeded.
Use a steam autoclave. Place bagged instruments into the steam autoclave, paper
side up when using a paper/plastic pouch.
Gravity Steam Sterilization
Full Cycle:135°C (275°F) for 3.5 minutes
Pre-vacuum Steam Sterilization
Full Cycle:132°C (270°F) for 3 minutes
Alternate Method: Place non-bagged instruments into the steam autoclave and run at
the listed cycles.
NOTE: Instruments sterilized unbagged should be used immediately.
To dry, use the drying cycle of the autoclave. Set cycle for 20 to 30 minutes. Do not
exceed 137°C.
