Inspection/Function Testing
After cleaning and prior to sterilization, reference this manual and follow the instructions below.
1. Instruments should be inspected for function.
2. Inspection includes:
a. Inspecting for all forms of wear outlined in this manual. Generally un-magnified, visual inspection under good light conditions
is sufficient.
b. Functional check should be performed, where possible.
3. If the reusable instrument is determined no longer suitable for use or if the suitability for use is still in question after inspecting the
instrument and referencing this manual, the instrument should be replaced.
Prior to sterilization, inspect instrument kit tray and its components for wear and damage such as bending, bowing and warping as these
may lead to:
• Insufficient function of handles and lids
• Can allow free travel of contents
• Interference between case components and contents
• Inadequate reprocessing
• Inadequate engagement of components
• Inadequate disengagement of components
If the kit tray is determined no longer suitable for use or if the suitability for use is still in question after inspection, the kit tray should be
replaced.
Note: Zimmer Biomet Dental does not specify the maximum number of uses appropriate for re-use. The useful life of the reusable
instrument depends on many factors including the method and duration of each use as well as the handling between uses.
Returning the Reusable Instrument(s)
If a complaint is made related to the identity, quality, durability, reliability, safety, effectiveness, or performance of a device at any other time
for any reason outside of the scope of this manual, please complete and submit a Product Experience Report (CF04001) which can be found
on zimmerbiometdental.com and return the reusable instrument(s) to Zimmer Biomet Dental for investigation.
