.
2.
Carefully pull the motor off of its plug-and-socket connection.
Place the micromotor in a suitable sterilization bag (see recommendations
made by sterilization unit manufacturer).
Sterilize at a steam temperature of 134 °C (273.2 °F),
3 minutes holding time
(2.04 bar; 29.59 psi overpressure).
When attaching the motor to the coupling, note the position of the contact pins
in relation to the sockets in the coupling
and carefully screw the coupling
firmly onto the motor.
Steam sterilizers that fulfill the requirements of EN 13060,
Class B
and are
suitable for the sterilization of dental motors are approved for sterilization.
The micromotor can be used again only after its temperature has dropped
below 40 °C (104 °F).
Apex locator accessories
The mucosal electrode and file clamp can be sterilized at a steam
tempera-
ture of 134 °C (273.2 °F).
Approved for sterilization are steam sterilizers that fulfill the requirements of
EN 13060 or at least use fractionated vacuum and are suitable for the steril-
ization of motors
.
Place the mucosal electrode and file clamp in a suitable sterilization bag
(see recommendations made by sterilization unit manufacturer).
