Proper reprocessing of dental instruments begins immediately after treatment with essential preparatory steps such as safe handling, cleaning, and the correct classification of medical devices in accordance with RKI guidelines.
Structured preparation minimizes the risk of infection, supports compliance with legal hygiene regulations, and establishes the foundation for safe, standards-compliant cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization.
Preparatory steps for the reprocessing procedure
Before starting the mechanical or manual reprocessing procedure of your dental instruments, please follow the preparatory steps:
To minimise the risk of infection, always wear protective gloves.
Remove the bur from the chucking system.
Remove the instrument from the motor coupling or the turbine from the quick coupling.
Instruments with interchangeable heads: remove the heads from the base for separate reprocessing.
Wipe the outside of instruments immediately after the end of the treatment with an approved disinfectant.
