cleaning were provided by an independent test laboratory.
Manual cleaning OR Automated cleaning
Air motor with thermal disinfection mark may be cleaned by a washer-disinfector which
comply with EN ISO 15883-1.
6.1 Manual cleaning
1. Using a soft-bristled brush, brush the external surfaces of the entire device under running
utility (tap) water.
2. Prepare a detergent bath using a mild enzymatic detergent (such as “METREX“EmPower
Instrument Cleaner) with the ratio of 1 oz “METREX” EmPower Instrument Cleaner per
gallon of warmed distilled water.
3. Using a lint-free cloth soaked in the detergent solution, wipe the devices thoroughly to
remove any visible soil.
4. Use a soft bristled brush moistened with the detergent solution to clean any remaining
debris from the Vigor series handpiece. Brush device for at least 1 minute and 30 seconds.
5. Rinse the air motor under running tap water for 30 seconds.
6. Wiped dry the air motor with lint-free clothes.
6.2 Automated cleaning
1. TTBIO recommends to place the air motor in a cassette or container prior to wash in "Miele
G7883" washer-disinfector, by switching the preprogrammed mode to "Vario TD". The
recommended cleaning agent is alkaline detergent, such as “neodisher® mediclean” and the
neutralizing agent is acid neutralizer, such as “neodisher® Z”.
※Operate washer-disinfector according to user manual provided by the original manufacturer.
The automated cleaning will be processed by pressing one “Vario TD” button and the
preprogrammed procedures and parameters set by “Miele G7883” are shown as below:
2. Dry the handpiece with a lint-free cloth. If any visible soil is still found, please repeat step 1.
1. Use dental handpiece lubrication oil for maintenance, any unspecified oil not intended for
lubricating handpieces could shorten the lifetime and harm human body.
2. Be sure to lubricate the handpieces prior to sterilization and run the handpieces for 20~30
seconds to emit residual oil and dirt.
3. After unpacking and prior to first use, be sure to lubricate
with oil and run the handpiece in low rotation speed for
30 seconds and in full speed for 10~20 seconds to emit
residual oil.
◼Air motor:
1. Put Shaft Spray Nozzle(※0PL0044) into nozzle of the
lubrication oil can.
2. Inject the oil into the drive air pipe for 2~3 seconds, at the
back end of the motor.
1. Before sterilization, the air motor must be placed into a legally marketed disposable
sterilization pouch made by a combination of plastic film and material which can allow
penetration of steam (e.g. paper).
2. Sterilization must be in compliance with ISO 17665-1 (choose ONE from the following
methods):
i. Gravity-displacement steam sterilization: place in autoclave in accordance with: ANSI/AAMI
ST55 at 132°C for 15 minutes and drying duration is 30 minutes.
ii. Dynamic-air-removal steam sterilization: place in autoclave in accordance with EN13060 at
134°C for 4 minutes and drying duration is 15 minutes.
3. Always perform complete drying process and remove the air motor from steam sterilizer once
the sterilization cycle is completed as the user manual of sterilizer manufacturer.
4. Chemical sterilization is NOT applicable. DO NOT immerse the entire air motor or
cartridge/rotor into chemical sterilant, otherwise could damage the air motor or harm the
users or patients (e.g. allergic contact dermatitis, asthma, mucosal damage and so forth).
We recommend a regular service for the TTBIO handpiece after 250 reprocessing cycles.
Follow your local and national laws, directives, standards and guidelines for disposal.
