on a product to a level appropriate for its intended further handling or use depending on
requirements specified by regional or national authorities. Regulatory authorities may
specify more stringent requirements within the territories for which they are responsible.
For non-invasive medical devices, SciCan recommends terminal sterilisation
after processing in the HYDRIM M2 G4 according to local guidelines.
For invasive medical devices, such as dental handpieces, terminal
sterilisation must be performed after processing in the HYDRIM M2 G4.
Prior to placing instruments in the HYDRIM and using the optional handpiece
adaptor, consult the instrument manufacturer's reprocessing instructions
for suitabability and cleaning in a thermal-disinfector. If in doubt, seek the
advice of the instrument manufacturer.
Examples of medical and dental instruments suitable for cleaning and disinfecting in the
HYDRIM M2 G4 include:
• Stainless steel scalers, spatulas and hemostats.
• Stainless steel retractors, needle holders, skin hooks, tissue forceps, scissors,
curettes, and other stainless steel instruments free of deep cavities.
For best results, instruments processed in the HYDRIM M2 G4 should have the
following properties:
• Heat resistance to a temperature of up to 96°C
• Corrosion resistance in the presence of heat and alkalinity.
