Autoclave procedure
Use a brush to scrub debris from the handpiece. DO NOT use a wire
brush. Wipe clean with an alcohol-immersed cotton swab or cloth.
Lubricate the handpiece as previously described.
(Refer to Lubrication)
Insert the handpiece into an autoclave pouch and seal the pouch.
Autoclavable up to a max. 135°C
EN13060 4.6.3 recommends autoclaving for 3 minutes (minimum
*
holding time) at 134°C or 15 minutes (minimum holding time) at
121°C. NSK recommends Class B or S sterilization.
Caution
• Always place the handpiece in the center or upper shelf of the chamber, as the local temperature at the bottom
of the chamber could rise beyond the level indicated on the autoclave.
• Do not heat or cool the handpiece quickly. Rapid change in temperature could damage the glass rod or subject
other metals to abnormal stress.
• Do not wash, soak, or wipe off the handpiece with an oxidation potential solution (strong acid, superacid solution) or
cold sterilization solution.
• The color may be slightly faded by repeated sterilization. (X650L)
