Cleaning

Remove attachments and accessories from handpiece. Leave hose attached and scrub the handpiece and attachments with a soft brush and mild detergent orsurgical instrument cleaning solution and water. Rinse under running water (make sure hose is still attached and nose is pointed down) Shake the handpiece and attachments free of water and wipe with a lint-free towel. Clean the cutting surfaces of reusable burs with water and a bur brush. Rinse, but do not immerse. Run water through the inside of the bur guard.Clean and dry the inside of the bur guard with a Q-tip. 

Lubrication

Most pneumatic handpieces should not be lubricated. The 3M (Linvatec) Minos

and the Hall II needto be lubricated. Place 1 drop of lubricant in the air inlet (standpipe). Certain angle attachments can be lubricated

(for example, the Hall Surgical 1375-032,-033, -034, -035, -036 models). 

For these angle models, follow lubricant instructions, attach the angle to the

handpiece and run for approximately 15 seconds Ace Surgical, Codman and 3M bur guards also require lubrication. Place 1 drop of lubricant in the nose end of the bur guard

 

Testing 

Test the handpiece before you sterilize it

Check for air leaks from the hose and handpiece. Check control lever and collet locking mechanism.  

 

The handpiece needs service if:

a)  You can pull the bur out with your hand while itis in the lock position.

b)  You run the handpiece with proper bur and burguard for 30 seconds and

      inconsistent sound frequency (grinding) is detected.

c)  Excessive heat is detected from the front of the handpiece. 

   

Sterilization 

Handpieces, cords, attachments and accessories must be autoclaved before first and every use. Separate attachments, cutting accessories and cords from handpieces prior to sterilization. Allow drying cycle to complete before removing handpiece from the autoclave to ensure that all moisture has been removed. Make sure the handpiece is completely cool and dry before operating.

   

Important Reminders 

   

AVOID TAP WATER 

Do not allow water to run into the hose connection end or the nose end.

Always keep the nose pointed down while cleaning.

Contact with internal parts will cause corrosion. Use distilled water for cleaning and rinsing, or at least wipe away cleaning agent and any tap water with distilled water as a final step. Tap water causes metal discoloration.

 

AVOID ULTRASONIC CLEANERS

Do not clean any component in an ultrasonic cleaner or combination washer-sterilizer. Clean and replace autoclave element filter as directed by manufacturer.

 

NO BLEACH

Never clean with bleach, solvents or chemical disinfectants. An enzymatic

detergent is recommended.

 

DO NOT LEAVE IN STERILIZER

Do not leave handpieces in steam sterilizer. Remove immediately after sterilization.

 

DO NOT FORCE COOL

Never force handpieces to cool by immersing, wrapping in cold towel or placing in freezer.

 

BUR CARE

Do not reuse burs with visible scratches or dents.
