Spray

Using the correct adaptor, spray MK Dent into the drive line. Spray for approximately 2 seconds. Count 1...... 2......


Once a week the spindle of the handpiece should be lubricated. Again, Using the correct adaptor, spray MK Dent directly into the spindle (where you insert the bur). Spray for approximately 1 second. Count 1......
   
 
Run 5 to 10 seconds

Run the handpiece for 5 to 10 seconds or until handpiece achieve full steady speed to expel excess lubricant. This should be done at the operatory or at a purge station in the sterilization room. Count 1...... 2...... 3...... 4..... 5...... 6...... 7.......

Be sure all excess lubricant is expelled. Listen to the handpiece. It should run smoothly at top speed.


   
 
Wipe with alcohol to remove excess lubricant

Wipe down the exterior of the handpiece with a 2x2 lightly dampened with alcohol. Use pure rubbing alcohol only, many over-the-counter "alcohol wipes" have other solutions added to them, this can cause spotting of the exterior and severe damage to the internal parts of the handpiece.


 

   
 
Bag and Autoclave

Individually bag and sterilize handpiece as per manufacturer's instructions. Always allow the handpiece to go through the "Dry Cycle" on your sterilizer. Note: We recommend using sterilization bags with one side paper and one side plastic

   
 
Let Cool

Remove the handpieces from the sterilizer and let them cool to room temperature. Running "Hot" handpieces will severely reduce the life of the turbine.
-Don't Re-Lubricate
