Instrument Care
Disinfecting the instruments is the penultimate stage in the process before final sterilisation.
Cleaning
Disinfection An instrument disinfectant should be powerful enough to kill pathogens in 60 minutes or less according to EN14885. The effectiveness of the disinfecting process can also be enhanced by an ultrasonic cleaner. Additionally, excellent material compatibility is a crucial feature to prevent damage to instruments. Alongside a comprehensive effective spectrum which includes Coronavirus and TB, Bossklein IDactiv Instrument Disinfectant has completed extensive material compatibility testing according to EN21530 to preserve instrument quality.
Lubrication Efficient lubrication of handpieces not only ensures proper functionality and performance of a vital piece of dental equipment, regular maintenance can eliminate expensive repairs. It is vital that the lubricant reaches and coats the correct internal bearings of the handpiece so a pressurised aerosol solution is recommended. Bossklein UNIoil Universal Handpiece Oil has been specifically designed for modern dental handpieces. Pairing with the additional universal nozzle attachment, it can be used with any type of dental handpiece.
According to the UK HTM 01-05 guidelines – effective cleaning is essential before progressing onto the disinfection stage. Blood and organic soil can inhibit the instrument disinfectant antimicrobial efficacy. This is due to the fact that disinfectants have reduced efficacy in soiled conditions. Secondly, blood and organic soil occupy the instrument surface area, preventing the disinfectant covering and attacking pathogens on the instrument. The Bossklein ULTRAbio Ultrasonic Cleaner, when used in an ultrasonic bath, is ideal for helping to ensure protein has been removed from instruments by utilising protein digesting enzymes.
