LIGHT GUIDE – Cleaning and disinfection
CAUTION
Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to clean the light guide, since they could scratch the surface of the
light guide and thus decrease light transmission.
Do not use cleaning / disinfectant agents containing organic, mineral and oxidising acids, hydrogen peroxide,
chloride, iodine, bromide and solvents.
1) Immediately after use, any possible residue, such as composite material, must be removed from the end surface
of the light guide. Any polymerised composite should be removed by using ethanol and a plastic spatula or soft
nylon brush may help in removing the material residue.
2) Disinfect the light guide with a clean, soft lint free cloth dampened with a mild disinfectant solution, featuring a mild
pH (pH 7), according to the manufacturer's specifications. Allow the disinfectant solution to dry.
