Ivoclar Vivadent OptraSculpt - Manual (Page 3)

Do not place the instruments in NaCl solution (to avoid the risk of pitting
and/or stress corrosion cracking).
Protective gloves and goggles complying with the requirements of directive
89/686/EEC must be worn to handle any used and contaminated instru-
ments.
Disinfect and clean instruments immediately after use.
Generally, processing in a washer-disinfector unit is preferable to
manual cleaning.
Pre-cleaning:
Carefully remove large unhardened residues from the instruments using a
lint-free cellulose tissue. For preliminary disinfection, place the instruments
in a disinfection bath (with a lid and sieve insert) filled with aldehyde-free
alkaline disinfectant (e.g. immersion in ID 212 forte, Dürr Dental, for 15 min.).
Make sure that the instruments are completely covered in disinfectant and
that the disinfectant is free of bubbles.
Only use a soft brush for the manual removal of residues. Never use a metal
brush or steel wool.
For automated processing, carefully rinse the instruments under running tap
water after preliminary disinfection.
Automated cleaning and disinfection:
–
Washer-disinfector unit (e.g. Miele thermal washer-disinfector G7882)
– Cleaning and disinfection program (e.g. Vario TD)
– Detergent and disinfectant (e.g. Neodisher FA, Dr. Weigert)
If the instruments are only cleaned in a washer-disinfector, subsequent
thermal disinfection in a steam sterilizer is mandatory.
Manual cleaning and disinfection:
–
Soft brush (e.g. Miltex nylon cleaning brush for instruments)
– Detergent and disinfectant (e.g. immersion in ID 212 forte, Dürr Dental,
for at least 15 min.)
After cleaning and disinfection, thoroughly rinse the instruments in the
sieve insert under running tap water.
Drying:
–
Compressed air or clean, lint-free cellulose tissue
Sterilization:
–
Suitable sterile packaging (e.g. aluminium sterile container system)
– Autoclave (e.g. Systec HX-320)
– Program: steam sterilization with a fractionated pre-vacuum process at
134 °C (273 °F) for at least 4 min.
Maintenance, checking and inspection:
After cleaning and disinfecting the instruments, visually inspect them to see
if they are clean, undamaged and function properly. If macroscopically
visible residual debris is present, repeat the cleaning and disinfection
process.
Storage
–
Store instruments in dry conditions to avoid condensation build-up.
– Store OptraSculpt modelling tips in the original packaging at room
temperature, protected from dust, moisture, compression and contami-
nation.
– Store at 12 - 28 °C (54 - 82 °F).
– Expiry date: see printed inscription and label.
Notes
–
The OptraSculpt handle is autoclavable and designed for multiple
use and at least 200 sterilization cycles in the autoclave. See
“Disinfection, cleaning and sterilization” for the stipulated proce-
dures.
– Before autoclaving the handle, remove the modelling tips.
– The OptraSculpt modelling tips are intended for single use only.
They must not be cleaned, disinfected, sterilized and reused.
– Since small parts generally involve a risk of ingestion and aspiration, it
is advisable to use a rubber dam.
– The Instructions for Use and detailed information on the repro-
cessing of handheld instruments are available on the website of
Ivoclar Vivadent AG (www.ivoclarvivadent.com).
