Dear Customer, we kindly ask you to carefully read the following instructions before handling and using the instruments. Each DENSOL instruments has been realized with great care and professionalism and its use is addressed only to qualified and specialised dental personnel.
Instrument is supplied NON-STERILIZED: it must be properly washed, rinsed and sterilized before use. Many joint instruments present oily residuals in the parts due to the manufacturing processes, please make sure to clean the instruments in a proper way. If the use of a washing-machine is not possible, the instruments can also be washed manually. Use a rigid brush with plastic bristles (No metal bristles) and always make sure the proper washing with decontamination solutions.
It is highly recommended to sterilize the instruments only after proper cleaning. If the instrument is not perfectly cleaned, the result of the sterilization will be prejudiced. Carefully follow the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the sterilization equipment. There are different ways for sterilizing the instruments:
The main aim of the autoclave sterilization is to obtain a proper sterilization and, in the meantime, to maintain the unchanged structural and functional characteristics of the instruments as much as possible. This process must only and exclusively be done by expert personnel, that must have been properly trained for this purpose.
All the cleaning operations must be carried on only in
areas duly equipped and organized for this kind of
operation.
Immediately after the use, instruments must be disinfected
through the use of solutions whose effectiveness has been
proved. Make sure of the right dosage of the
cleaning/decontamination solutions, of the washing
duration and of its temperature, always follow the
Instructions given by the equipment manufacturer and the
cleaning solutions’ producer.
Cleaning with disinfectant solutions containing sodium
chloride (NaCl) can often cause oxidation or corrosion to
the instruments seriously compromising their use and
functionality.
Cleaning/disinfecting solution must be changed daily.
The best recommended method for a proper washing of the
instruments is the ultrasound cleaning, especially
suggested for the joint instruments (e.g. pliers,
scissors, needle-holders etc.)
Do not put instruments made of different metals together
in the same trays for the washing/sterilization (e.g.
common steel with stainless steel, aluminium, chromed
steel etc.)
Joint instruments (e.g. pliers, scissors, needle-holders)
Must be placed in an open position for the
washing/disinfection.
Make sure that trays are not overloaded with instruments
because this could compromise the washing/disinfection.
Possible residuals after the first wash must be completely
removed.
It has been proved that the ideal temperature for the final
rinsing is between 80ºC and 90ºC.
It is highly recommended to use demineralised water only
during the final rinsing. This can avoid the rise up of
dark stains.
To maintain the perfect efficiency of joint instruments.
It is necessary to lubricate them regularly with specific
products (DO NOT USE INDUSTRIAL OIL AT ALL)
In case of instruments with partial carbon fibre handles
(Gun Style Intra-ligamental Syringe), please do not
autoclave the fibre part. Just remove the stainless-steel
part and do that autoclaving for that part.
For this method of sterilization, it is highly recommended
to make cycles that do not exceed 7 minutes, with a
temperature of 134ºC and a pressure of 2.1 bar
For the enveloped instruments, it is very important to
carefully complete the rinsing cycle because if some water
remains into the envelope, it can cause corrosion or
oxidation to the instruments resulting in bacteria
formation.
The sterilized instruments must be preserved in defined
areas, dry and without dust.
The main aim of the autoclave sterilization is to obtain a proper sterilization and, in the meantime, to maintain the unchanged structural and functional characteristics of the instruments as much as possible. This process must only and exclusively be done by expert personnel, that must have been properly trained for this purpose.
A sterilization that exceeds 177ºC (350ºF), weakens the temper of the instrument and consequently cut the performance and elasticity (above all for the cutting instruments, that can result in decrease of the sharpening): it can also result in darkening of the instruments, brown spots like oxidation.
Do not put aluminium instruments and titanium instruments into thermal equipment and/or ultrasound bath. For Cleaning of these instruments, only use substances that are specially suggested for aluminium and titanium Instruments.
Do not put aluminium instruments and titanium instruments into thermal equipment and/or ultrasound bath. For Cleaning of these instruments, only use substances that are specially suggested for aluminium and titanium Instruments.
Damages caused by an inappropriate use of the instrument.
Damages caused by a wrong process of cleaning and/or
sterilization of the instruments.
Damages caused by the warehousing of the instruments in
unsuitable condition/s.
Damages caused by the lack of maintaining the instruments.
Especially for the joint ones, that need a regular
lubrication in the joint parts.
