Sterilizing handpieces:
Carefully read the handpiece operation manual with particular attention to the part about sterilizing
(121°).
Wrap the handpiece in the special sterilizing cloth.
Place the wrapped handpiece on a NON-perforated tray to prevent spilt lubricating oil from
polluting the pipes of the autoclave.
Proceed with a short cycle 121°C sterilizing program.
Remember to immediately remove the handpiece from the autoclave at the end of the sterilizing
process.
For a valid sterilizing process, it is obligatory to add a chemical indicator for each cycle.
