The USBCam2 system uses disposable sheaths (Schick P/N
6310120) to ensure proper infection control. Do not use the camera
for intraoral use until a new sheath has been properly fitted to the
handpiece. After each intra-oral use, remove the sheath and dispose
of it properly.
Protective sheaths are single-use devices and must not be reused
under any circumstance. Reuse of single-use devices/instruments
may cause them to become contaminated, compromise their
intended function, and result in patient and user infection, injury
and/or illness.
Disposable sheaths are provided with every USBCam2 system. In
the U.S., additional sheaths can be ordered from Patterson Dental
Supply, Inc. by calling 1-800-328-5536. International customers
should contact the authorized international dealer for Sirona Dental
products in their country or region.
In a clinical use environment, the health care provider should wear
protective disposable gloves and cover the camera with a hygienic
barrier. Before using the camera the first time, and before every new
patient, the following protocol is recommended:
1. Remove and discard all protective hygienic barriers and / or
sheaths from the camera prior to removing disposable
gloves.
2. Place the camera on a tray covered by a disposable liner, or
in a receptacle that can be thoroughly disinfected.
3. Remove and discard gloves.
4. Wash hands and put on a new pair of disposable gloves.
5. Disconnect the camera from the USB cable.
6. If the camera or cable are visibly soiled (e.g., with blood or
saliva), each should be cleaned with a soapy cloth or paper
towel, and then dried with a clean lint-free cloth or paper
towel.
7. Thoroughly wipe the camera and cable (if applicable) with
the disinfecting product recommended above and wait 30
