These instructions are for use ONLY on the outer sheath. All other parts of the sys-
tem should be disinfected according to the procedures in the "Disinfecting All Other
Parts" section.
The outer sheath for the Nupro Freedom™ Cordless Prophy System with
SmartMode™ Technology is not sterile upon receipt and must be steam-autoclave
sterilized prior to use in accordance with the following instructions.
Do not use an automatic washer/disinfector for the outer sheath. Discoloration of mate-
rial will occur.
Repeated cleaning and steam sterilization cycles have minimum effect on these
instruments. End of life is normally determined by wear and damage due to use.
Do not use chemical disinfectants prior to sterilization or rapid deterioration of the
material may occur.
Cold liquid disinfection/sterilization, chemical vapor sterilization, and dry heat ster-
ilization methods have not been tested or validated for efficacy and are not recom-
mended for use.
Do not immerse the outer sheath in an ultrasonic bath.
Remove excess soil with disposable cloth or paper wipe.
It is recommended that instruments are reprocessed as soon as is reasonably practi-
cal following use.
Protect the outer sheath from contact with other dental instruments that may cause
damage.
Remove the outer sheath from the cordless handpiece inner module of the cordless
handpiece. Only the outer sheath may be steam-autoclave sterilized.
