Sterilization
After external cleaning, the chamber is heated to 134 °C (273 °F) and the
instruments are sterilized. Saturated steam is forced into the chamber
and then extracted back through the drive, air, and water channels (if
available) of the instruments. This is known as the back-flush method.
2 different sterilization programs are available:
● 134 °C (273 °F) with a sterilization time of 3 minutes
● 134 °C (273 °F) with a sterilization time of 18 minutes
To select the program, see "Programs and program selection [ → 27]".
For instructions for reprocessing unwrapped rotating handpieces see
"Reprocessing with the Standard lid [ → 90]".

Functions with the Basket lid

5 solid instruments, instruments without cavities, can be reprocessed in
the DAC Universal with the optional Basket lid.
WARNING
According to the European EN 13060 standard, non-solid instruments or
instruments with cavities may not be sterile after a cycle in the Basket
lid.
External cleaning with NitraClean cleaning tablet
Solid instruments are first cleaned externally 3 times with unheated water
using a NitraClean tablet. This is necessary to perform the cleaning
properly. The external cleaning is done using the pulse-wash method
(multicyclic cleaning method). In the subsequent and final pulse-wash
cycle, the instruments are cleaned with warm water heated by steam.
