Cleaning and Sterilizing the Removable Tips

For instructions on cleaning and sterilizing the removable tip of the scanner, go to:

Cleaning and Sterilizing the Scanner Tip

Important Safety Notices

When sterilizing the removable tips...

  • Always autoclave the tip wrapped in a sealed sterilization pouch: failure to do so will result in permanent stains on the mirror.

  • Tips should not be placed in an ultrasonic cleaner or cold sterile solution. The sterilant will leave a sticky residue or film on the mirror when drying.

  • Do not remove the pouch before the sterilizer completes the full dry cycle.

    If the pouch is wet or has any signs of moisture, this can potentially leave water spots on the mirror that can affect image quality during scanning.
