Mouth specula
Risk of damage due to machine reprocessing.
Not all glass mouth specula can be reprocessed by machine.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Rhodium-coated mouth specula, because of their delicate surface,
must be loaded in such a way that the mirror surfaces cannot sustain
mechanical damage during reprocessing, e.g. by knocking against
other instruments.
Mouth rinse cups
Mouth rinse cups should preferably only be reprocessed in the upper
basket. There is a greater risk of stress cracking and corrosion in the
lower basket due to larger temperature fluctuations and risk of
mechanical damage.
Opal glass is particularly suitable for reprocessing in a washer-
disinfector.
