The effectiveness of the sterilization instructions provided above for electronic motor 21 and the handpiece has been validated by Nouvag AG. The user is responsible for ensuring that the
sterilization procedure performed achieves the required result. This requires validation and routine monitoring of the procedure. The staff member who completes the procedure bears
sole responsibility for any deviation on his part from the instructions provided. Deviations necessitate revalidation of the effectiveness of the procedure as well as of the technical
resilience of the motor with regard to the modified sterilization process.

MD 11 Operating Instructions, Art. No. 31665, V10/14
Perform a visual inspection to check for damage, corrosion and wear. Connect Motor
with the spray nozzle (Art. No. 1974) by screwing it on and spray motor for about 3
seconds and briefly wipe with a moist cloth (see instructions on spray can). Once
thorough spraying has been completed, screw the cable and motor cap back onto the
electronic motor.
Individual: Pack the electronic motor in individual packaging for sterile items. The
bag must be large enough to ensure that the seal is not subject to strain. Nouvag AG
recommends including a sterility indicator.
Sets: Sort electronic motors on trays intended for this purpose or place them on all-
purpose sterilization trays.
Autoclave in the vacuum autoclave (Class B or S as per EN 13060) at 135°C for at least
5 minutes*. When sterilizing several instruments during one sterilization cycle, do
not exceed the maximum sterilizer load. A drying cycle must be added in the case of
autoclaves without a post-vacuum function. Allow the electronic motor to dry in the
bag for at least 1 hour at room temperature with the paper side facing upwards.
* Temperature exposure times are based on country-specific guidelines and
standards. Maximum exposure time: 25 minutes.
If the sterilized electronic motor is not used immediately after sterilization, the
material packaging must be labeled with the sterilization date. Including a sterility
indicator is recommended.
