Sterilization Recommendations

1. Place cleaned instruments in an instrument tray.
2. Do not crimp the hose when closing the case lid.
3. If the instruments are to be wrapped, use two double thickness of #140 thread count wrappers. Exposure times are the same for wrapped or unwrapped instruments.
4. Follow the instructions for pre-vacuum steam sterilization listed below.

Pre-Vacuum Steam Sterilization
If the pre-vacuum steam sterilizer has a pre-fixed cycle, use the hard goods cycle. If it does not have a pre-fixed cycle:

1. Set temperature at 270°-272°F (132-133°C)
2. Set exposure time for four minutes
3. Set drying time for eight minutes minimum

Cleaning Instructions

It is recommended that the hose remain attached to the handpiece during cleaning in order to prevent water from entering into the air intake port. Thoroughly scrub the instrument and the attachments with a soft cloth and mild detergent. All traces of blood and debris should be removed. Keeping the nose of the handpiece pointed downward, rinse under running water.

Warnings

1. DO NOT LUBRICATE. The instrument is pre-lubricated. Lubrication of the AcuDriver® handpiece may result in damage to internal parts and will void warranty.
2. NEVER IMMERSE the AcuDriver completely. Immersion in any solution will permanently damage the instrument from liquid entering the mechanical parts. Some solutions will corrode metal and delicate, moving parts or break down internal lubricants. Immersion damage will void warranty.
3. STEAM STERILIZE the AcuDriver handpiece (except regulator) per instructions. DO NOT ETO gas sterilize.
