Work Steps for the Reprocessing of KaVo Handpieces, Turbines and

Work Steps for the Reprocessing of KaVo Handpieces,
Turbines and SONICflex Tips with KaVo Products
Preparations at the site of use
!
To minimise the risk of infection during reprocessing,
always wear protective
gloves.
Always remove the bur
from the chuck system first.
Q

4
Remove/screw off the instrument from the motor
coupling or the turbine from
the quick coupling.
5
Wipe the outside of instruments immediately after the
end of the treatment with
an approved disinfection
agent (e.g. with MinutenWipes/ALPRO) in order to
protect the practice team.
6
Instruments with interchangeable heads:
remove the heads from the reducing shank for
separate servicing and treat for 1 second with a
corresponding attachment (this is generally not
possible with speed-increasing contra-angles and
turbines). In some cases, surgical instruments can
be dismantled for cleaning and servicing
(see instructions for use).
Do not place KaVo instruments and
turbines in disinfectant solutions or
clean them in ultrasonic devices.

KaVo CLEANspray 2110:
Validated manual interior cleaning (residual
protein removal) can only be accomplished with
KaVo CLEANspray and KaVo DRYspray.
•Cover the medical device with the KaVo Cleanpac
bag, and place it on the corresponding servicing
adapter. Hold the can upright, press the spray
button 3x for 2 seconds each time and allow to
take effect for 1 minute.
KaVo DRYspray 2117:
Used for subsequent drying of the air, water and
gear unit ducts. Place the corresponding connection
set on the DRYspray head. Place medical device on
the service coupling and spray through for
3-5 seconds. KaVo Cleanpac bags offer optimum
infection protection for the personnel.
KaVo recommends washer disinfectors in accordance with EN ISO 15883-1 that
are operated with alkaline cleaning agents.
2. Manual disinfection
Manual disinfection of the exterior
KaVo recommends the following medical devices
based on the compatibility of the materials. The
microbiological efficacy must be confirmed by the
disinfectant manufacturer.
Disinfectants compatible with the medical devices:
•Mikrozid AF by Schülke & Mayr
(liquid or cloths)
•FD 322 made by Dürr
•WL-cid made by ALPRO
•MinutenWipes made by ALPRO
Manual disinfection of the exterior
Cloths for wiping off the medical device.
2. Care
Cloths for wiping off the medical device.
•Spray the disinfectant on a cloth, then wipe down the medical device and allow the disinfectant to act according to the instructions of the disinfectant manufacturer.
•Follow the instructions for use of the disinfectant.
Validated internal cleaning (RKI-compliant) with
cleaning fluid containing tensides. Subsequent
application of water steam and lubrication with
KaVo QUATTROcare Oil guarantee safe reprocessing
and value retention of medical devices.
•Attach the instruments to the service couplings
•Close the front flap, select a fully automatic
service programme and press the start key
QUATTROcare Clean has a programme for servicing
the chuck (programme no. 4).
KaVo recommends servicing the chucking system/the
chuck of the instruments and turbines once every
week.
4. Disinfection
3. Manual care
KaVo medical devices bearing the sterilisation symbol, can be sterilised in steam sterilisers (autoclaves),
as per EN 13060/ISO 17665-1 and have a maximum
temperature stability of up to 138 °C.
KaVo MULTIflex couplings are not sterilisable.
Manual care
KaVo products bearing the sterilisation symbol, can
be sterilised in steam sterilisers (autoclaves), as per
EN 13060/ISO 17665-1 and have a maximum temperature stability of up to 138°C. The medical device
must be packed before sterilisation. KaVo MULTIflex
couplings are not sterilisable.
Servicing the chuck
KaVo recommends cleaning and servicing the chucking system once every week.
Depending on the available autoclave, select a suitable option from the following sterilisation
protocols:
•Autoclave with a triple pre-vacuum: at least 3 minutes at 134 °C -1 °C / +4 °C
•Autoclave with gravitation procedure: min. 10 minutes at 134 °C -1 °C / +4 °C alternatively:
min. 60 minutes at 121 °C -1 °C / +4 °C
Exception: turbines with fixed connection at least 90 minutes at 121 °C -1 °C / +4 °C (Please
observe the areas of application of the steri-manufacturer or the KaVo instructions for use)
Remove contra-angle handpieces and turbines immediately after the completion of the
sterilisation cycle from the steriliser.
Reprocessed medical devices must be stored in a dry, dark, cool room, protected from
germs (as far as possible) and dust.
Notes

!
Hazard due to incomplete disinfection.
The disinfection procedures used must be verified to have bactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal effects. If the disinfectants used do not offer the prescribed
characteristics, the process must be concluded with thermal disinfection of
devices in unpacked condition in the steam steriliser.
Serialisation parameters:
Depending on the available autoclave, select a suitable option from the following sterilisation
protocols:
•Autoclave with a triple pre-vacuum: at least 3 minutes at 134 °C -1 °C / +4 °C
•Autoclave with gravitation procedure: min. 10 minutes at 134 °C -1 °C / +4 °C alternatively:
min. 60 minutes at 121 °C -1 °C / +4 °C
Exception: turbines with fixed connection at least 90 minutes at 121 °C -1 °C / +4 °C (Please
observe the areas of application of the steri-manufacturer or the KaVo instructions for use)
