Reference Guide
Stainless Steel Instruments While stainless steel has superior corrosion resistance, it will discolor and corrode when exposed to higher than recommended chemical concentrations or certain chemicals. Stainless steel should not be exposed to the following chemicals: Sodium Hypochlorite (household bleach), Tartaric Acid (stain and tartar remover), Aluminum Chloride, Barium Chloride, Bichloride of Mercury, Calcium Chloride, Carbolic Acid, Chlorinated Lime, Citric Acid, Dakin’s Solution, Ferrous Chloride, Lysol, Mercuric Chloride, Mercury Salts, Phenol, Potassium Permanganate, Potassium Thiocyanate or Stannous Chloride. The following chemicals should NEVER be used with stainless steel: Aqua Regia, Ferric Chloride, Sulfuric Acid, Hydrochloric Acid or Iodine. Aluminium Instruments Instrument Handles Cleaning / Disinfection: • Use neutral cleaning agents and disinfectants suitable for Aluminium. • Check cleaning agent label for precautions for use with Aluminium. • Do not clean in an ultrasonic cleaner. • Clean by hand or in a Washer-Disinfector unit. Processing: Note: Anodized aluminium instruments, when processed with Stainless Steel instruments may cause an adverse chemical reaction.
Oversized Instruments Note: If instruments do not fit in cassettes, other systems should be considered for reprocessing. Please call Hu-Friedy for assistance Tel 00800 4837 4339 or send an e-mail to info@hu-friedy.eu. Aspirators and Aspirator Tips Processing: • Clean, disinfect and sterilize only in a completely disassembled state. Cleaning / Disinfection: • For automated cleaning and disinfection in a Washer-Disinfector unit connecting rinsing adapters must be used, if the inserts are processed inside a cassette system. Otherwise open tray systems for automated cleaning and disinfection or manual cleaning and disinfection is recommended (no Ultrasonic cleaning and disinfection!). Chu’s Aesthetic Tool Kit Tips Note: The tip will last for approximately 5 reprocessing cycles. Processing: • Clean, disinfect and sterilize with tip and handle disassembled. • Tips with fading markings should be replaced. • Do not disinfect with phenols or iodophors. • Do not use dry heat.
Container for Sterilization and Accessories Processing:
• For reprocessing, the lid of the Container and the filter holding devices in the base and the lid must be removed. • If single use paper filters have been used, they must be removed before reprocessing. Indicators must be removed from the label holding device.
Cleaning / Disinfection: • For the cleaning and disinfection of
anodized Aluminium Sterilization Containers only detergents and disinfectants can be used which are approved for this material. • For the reprocessing in a Washer- Disinfector unit the components of the Container have to be placed securely in the washing baskets. Spraying nozzles and arms should not be blocked. Do not use acid neutralizers for the reprocessing of Aluminium Containers. • Container made of Aluminium cannot be cleaned or disinfected in an Ultrasonic Cleaner Unit. • Container-Cassettes may be cleaned
and disinfected with all procedures recommended for IMS-cassettes.
• Permanent Filters of Teflon may be cleaned and disinfected in a Washer-Disinfector unit. • Wrapping Drapes for aseptic removal must be cleaned with the standard procedures for clinical or dental office textiles, before reuse. Do not starch wrapping drapes Sterilization: • Sterilization Containers made of anodized Aluminium have been developed especially for sterilization in Steam Sterilizers with pre-vacuum, fractioned vacuum or fractioned flow processes. Hu-Friedy Sterilization Containers cannot be used for other sterilization methods. Maintenance: • The surface of Aluminium Containers is very sensitive in respect to mechanical impact. For this reason, do not use metal brushes or scouring agents. • For the removal of stains, residues of inscriptions or adhesive tapes only a commercial cleaner for anodized Aluminium may be used (no benzine or acetone!) After such treatment the Containers must be cleaned once more.
Colorvue-Tips Note: The tip shall be disposed after a maximum of 30 reprocessing cycles.
Carbon Steel Instruments Processing:
• Clean, disinfect and sterilize separately. • Do not clean, disinfect or sterilize with other stainless-steel instruments. • Do not clean / disinfect in a Washer- Disinfector unit.
Processing: • Clean, disinfect and sterilize with tip and handle disassembled. • Tips with a fading black marking should be replaced. • Do not disinfect with phenols or iodophors. • Do not use dry heat or rapid heat sterilization.
Hinged Instruments Processing: • Do not clean, disinfect or sterilize with other stainless-steel instruments.
Composite Brush Handle Processing: • Clean, disinfect and sterilize in a completely disassembled state.
