Reference Guide
Sterilization: • For sterilization use steam sterilization only. Do not expose to phenols or iodophors. • Do not use dry heat sterilization, or heat above 135 °C (275 F).
Ultrasonic Inserts, Piezo with Guardian Processing:
• Piezo Ultrasonic Inserts remain in the Guardian during the complete reprocessing cycle, also if reprocessed in cassettes. • Ultrasonic cleaning and disinfection as well as steam sterilization can be affected in suitable Hu-Friedy IMS-Cassettes. Sterilization: • For sterilization use steam sterilization only. • Do not expose to phenols or iodophors. • Do not use dry heat sterilization, or heat above 135 °C (275 F). Ultrasonic Piezo Handpiece Sterilization: • The Piezo handpiece can be steam sterilized with all types of Steam Sterilizers at 134°C/15minutes. Other sterilization parameters are not permitted.
HuFriedyGroup recommends Dual Enzyme Enzymax Ultrasonic Cleaning Solutions which contain Steelgard agents to protect instruments from harmful minerals naturally found in water that contribute to buildup, spotting and corrosion. Enzymax has multipurpose applications including efficient ultrasonic detergent, presoak, linen, spot removal and evacuation cleaner (see page B203).
360 Knife (K360) Processing: • Clean, disinfect and sterilize with fixation screw unscrewed.

Ultrasonic Inserts Intended for use by dental professionals. Inspect, clean and sterilise (autoclave only). Steam sterilise for at least 5 minutes at 270˚F/132˚C / 273°F/134°C or 20 min. at 250˚F/121˚C. Do not heat above 275˚F/135˚C. Recommended 30 minute dry time after sterilisation cycle. Do not expose to phenols or iodophors or dry heat sterilisation. Inserts with bent, altered or worn tips or other compromising conditions should be removed from service.
270˚F/132˚C / 273°F/134°C or 20 min. at 250˚F/121˚C. Do not heat above 275°F (135°C). Clean, disinfect, inspect and steam sterilise before each use following the respective equipment manufacturers users instructions. Do not expose to phenols, iodophors or dry heat sterilisation. Replacement Of worn Inserts And Tips Scaling efficiency can significantly diminish with worn insert tips. Inferior performance and poor water delivery can result from worn, damaged, bent or altered tips. 1 mm wear diminishes 25% efficiency and 2 mm wear diminishes 50% efficiency. For optimal scaling efficiency, we recommend checking inserts monthly for signs of wear. An Ultrasonic insert wear guide (HF-466) and Piezo Tip Wear Guide (HF-469) are available from HuFriedyGroup.
Piezo Tips Cleaning & Sterilisation
Piezo tips should remain in the wrench during the complete cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation reprocessing cycle. Clean using ultrasonic cleaner or thermodisinfector. Steam sterilise for at least 5 minutes at
