Instruments

Any deposits such as dental cement, composite, polishing paste or
similar must be removed immediately after examination of the patient,
e.g with a swab, before it hardens.
Instruments with particularly complex functional ends or very
stubborn deposits may require ultrasonic pre-treatment.
 To avoid injury from double-ended instruments or upright
instruments with upward-facing probes, the washer-disinfector
should be loaded from rear to front, and unloaded from front to
rear.
After thermal disinfection, manual secondary cleaning can be done
according to relevant bio-substance regulations without danger of
infection, although the process must be monitored as necessary.

Mouth specula

 Not all glass mouth specula can be reprocessed by machine.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Rhodium-coated mouth specula, because of their delicate surface,
must be loaded in such a way that the mirror surfaces cannot sustain
mechanical damage during reprocessing, e.g. by bumping against
other instruments.
