Cleaning and Disinfection
Patient Protection
All parts coming in direct contact with the patient must be kept clean and
disinfected.
Always replace the disposable hygienic covers on the bite before positioning
a new patient. These covers should be stored in a clean, dry environment and
not exposed to direct sunlight or UV radiation.
The bite block and chin rest can be disinfected by immersion in a cold
sterilizer, and can be steam sterilized in an autoclave up to 125°C.
All other parts used for patient positioning that come in direct contact with the
patient must be kept clean and disinfected. Use an appropriate disinfectant
following the manufacturer's guidelines.
Caution with Disinfectants
The method of disinfection used should comply with current regulations and
recommendations, including those concerning the prevention of explosive
hazards.
• Always disconnect the system from the mains supply before
cleaning or disinfection.
• No water or any other liquids should be allowed to enter the
equipment, as this can cause short-circuits and corrosion.
• Accessories and connecting cables should be cleaned or disinfected
using a damp cloth followed by a rubbing down with a dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents (toluene, benzene, etc.), corrosive cleaning
agents or abrasive polishing materials.
