EMS AIRFLOW Prophylaxis Master Instructions For Use Manual page 31

Final rinse water requirements:
Free from optional pathogenic micro-organisms. Deionized water is recommended to avoid
deposits or crystallization on the medical device. Potential bacterial contamination must be taken
into account depending on the water treatment process used.
Sterilization shall be performed immediately after cleaning-disinfection.
Inspection and final dry before sterilization
If stains are still visible on the part after cleaning/disinfection, the entire cleaning/ disinfection
procedure must be repeated. Parts with visible damage, chip/flake loss, corrosion or are bent out
of shape must be disposed of (no further use is permissible). Check also the integrity of O-rings and
gaskets and replace if damaged or out of shape.
Verify the part to be fully dry. In case of detection of residues of water, remove these using an
air pistol (clean compressed air). Fully dry the lumen and the whole part until no more residues of
water are present (visible or detectable).
Reassembly and packaging for sterilization
Only previously cleaned and disinfected parts can be sterilized.
Effective sterilization can take place only on fully dry parts. Ensure each part (internal lumens
and any surface) to be perfectly dry before reassembling and packing.
Prior to sterilization, the parts need to be reassembled to their readiness of use and placed in a
suitable sterilization packaging.
For PIEZON ® :
•
Reinstall the O-ring first, then put the light guide into the nose cap and screw it on the
handpiece.
