Preparation instructions
Limitation on repeated Frequent repeated preparation only has a minor impact on the Jacobs Drill Handpiece. The end of the product's service life is normally
preparation determined by wear and damage through use. Das Instrument is designed for 500 sterilization cycles.
INSTRUCTIONS
At the site of use Remove surface contaminants with a disposable cloth/paper towel.
Storage and transport No special requirements. Avoid long waiting periods until preparation due to risk of drying and corrosion.
Preparation for cleaning 1. Remove the Jacobs Drill Handpiece from the micromotor.
2. Remove the drill from the Jacobs Drill Handpiece and dispose of it properly.
3. Check the Jacobs Drill Handpiece for external changes, damage and wear.
Automatic cleaning and Equipment: cleaning/disinfection device with a special load carrier which facilitates the connection of handpieces to the cleaning/disin-
disinfection fection device and the rinsing of channels. Use neutral or alkaline cleaning agents at the recommended concentration.
1. Fit the Jacobs Drill Handpiece into the load carrier (channel rinsing has to be ensured).
2. Set a cleaning cycle that offers sufficient cleaning and rinsing. Perform the last rinse with deionized water.
3. Perform a 10-minute rinse cycle at 93°C to facilitate thermal disinfection.
4. When you remove the Jacobs Drill Handpiece, check for any dirt in gaps and grooves that is still visible. Repeat the cleaning cycle or
clean manually as required.
Manual cleaning Equipment: neutral or alkaline cleaning agent, soft brush, running water:
1. Rinse surface contaminants from the Jacobs Drill Handpiece and brush away.
2. Use a brush to apply cleaning agent to all surfaces and gaps.
3. Rinse the Jacobs Drill Handpiece thoroughly under running water.
Manual disinfection Place the Jacobs Drill Handpiece into RKI*-tested disinfectant for manual disinfection. (Action time according to the disinfectant
manufacturer's specifications).
* RKI disinfectant list (Robert Koch Institute)
Drying If a drying programme is not provided by the washer-disinfector, the Jacobs Drill Handpiece must be dried manually or in a drying cabi-
net.
Inspection, assembly Perform a visual inspection for damage, corrosion and wear.
and maintenance 1. Place the spray adapter (Ref. 1958) on the NouClean spray.
2. Insert the spray adaptor into the Jacobs Drill Handpiece coupling flange and press in as far as it will go.
3. Apply a short, approx. 3-second burst of NouClean spray and wipe off excess liquid with a moistened cloth.
If a sufficient lubricant delivery is not possible because of back pressure, pull the spray adapter out, hold the moistened cloth
around the instrument and the adapter and spray into the couplings opening. Clean spilling with the cloth.

Packaging Individually: Pack Jacobs Drill Handpiece in individual packaging for sterile items. The bag must be large enough to ensure that the seal
is not under tension.
Sets: Sort Jacobs Drill Handpieces onto trays intended for the purpose or place on all-purpose sterilization trays.
Sterilization Autoclave in the vacuum autoclave at max. 135°C for at least 5 minutes. When sterilizing several instruments in one sterilization cycle, do
not exceed the sterilizer's maximum load. A drying cycle must be added in the case of autoclaves without a post-vacuum function.
Dry the Jacobs Drill Handpiece in the bag with the paper side facing upwards at room temperature for at least one hour.
* The temperature hold times are based on the country-specific guidelines and standards.
Storage No special requirements. If a sterilised Jacobs Drill Handpiece is not used immediately following sterilization, the packaging needs to be
marked with the sterilization date. It is advisable to add a sterilization indicator.
The above-indicated instructions were validated by NOUVAG AG as being suitable for preparing a medical device to be reused.
The preparer is responsible for ensuring that the actually performed preparation involving the equipment, materials and personnel used in the preparation facility
achieves the desired results. This normally requires validation and routine monitoring of the procedure. Likewise, each deviation from the provided instructions
should be carefully analyzed for its effect and potential detrimental consequences.
