NOTE
Before cleaning the system, always check that the X-ray unit and the
Planmeca ProSensor system are off (Planmeca ProSensor ControlBox
indicator light is off).
For disinfection Planmeca recommends the following disinfectants:
•
Disinfecting agents to be used
•
CaviWipes (Metrex Research, USA)
•
Dürr FD 322 (Dürr Dental AG, Orochemie GmbH)
•
Dürr FD 333 (Dürr Dental AG, Orochemie GmbH
•
Disinfecting agents to be used
•
Cidex Opa (Johnson & Johnson)
All recommended disinfecting agents have been tested and found to be
harmless to the surfaces.
Planmeca ProSensor sensors allow enhanced infection control in the
surgery.
As the sensor casing is hermetically sealed the sensors can be immersed in
disinfectant solution.
NOTE
For immersion only use the recommended disinfectant solution, see section
"Cleaning and disinfection" on page 17.
NOTE
Always use appropriate instruments for cleaning the sensors.
NOTE
It is mandatory to carefully follow the cleaning and disinfection
recommendations for not to damage the sensors.
CAUTION
The sensors cannot be sterilized in autoclave or UV oven.
Wipe the sensor surface with a soft cloth damped into a disinfectant solution.
The sensors can be soaked in a suitable disinfection solution as long as
there are no nicks in the cable.
The recommended disinfectant solutions are Dürr System Hygiene FD 322
or FD 333 or similar product.
If more effective disinfection or cold sterilization is preferred for cleaning, we
recommend the Johnson & Johnson Cidex Opa high level disinfectant.
NOTE
Follow carefully the manufacturer's recommendations on immersion time
and recommended disinfectant liquids.
