3.1 Using a soft bristled brush, brush the Outer Sheath until all visible soil is
removed, paying attention to the disposable prophy angle area.
4.
Rinse the Outer Sheath under potable running tap water for a minimum of 30
seconds to remove detergent residue.
5.
Dry the Outer Sheath using clean lint-free cloth.
6.
Visually inspect each Outer Sheath for visible soil. If soil is seen, repeat the
cleaning procedure.
Do not use disinfectant solution on sterilizable outer sheaths.
Place each instrument in a separate paper/plastic steam-sterilizing pouch. If using a
sterilizing cassette, ensure that the sterilizer's maximum load is not exceeded.
Place bagged instruments into a steam autoclave, per the autoclave manufacturer's
instructions.
Gravity Steam Sterilization - Outer Sheath
Full Cycle: 135°C (275°F) for 10 minutes
Pre-vacuum Steam Sterilization - Outer Sheath
Full Cycle:132°C (270°F) for 4 minutes
Alternate Method: Place non-bagged instruments into the steam autoclave and run
at the above listed cycles.
NOTE: Instruments steam sterilized unbagged should be used immediately.
To dry, use the drying cycle of the steam autoclave. Set cycle for 20 to 30 minutes.
Do not exceed 137°C (278°F).
Visually inspect to ensure that all contamination has been removed.
Check for distortion, damage or wear. Discard damaged, worn or corroded instruments.

Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chemical germicide
registered with the EPA as a "hospital disinfectant" and labeled for "tuberculocidal"
(i.e., mycobactericidal) activity is recommended for disinfecting surfaces that have
been soiled with patient material.
Recommended Disinfectant:
The following tuberculocidal disinfectant has been found to be effective in achieving
a desired level of disinfection
• Volo Wipes™ Surface Disinfectant (manufactured by Sultan Healthcare) or
equivalent
Do not immerse in liquid.
Repeated cleaning has minimum effect on these instruments. End of life is normally
determined by wear and damage due to use.
Do not use disinfectant solution on sterilizable outer sheaths. Refer to steam
sterilization procedures for sterilizable outer sheaths.
