cycle per sterilization cycle table.
Leaves: One Time Use, Disposable The disposable Leaves are meant for single use only. Due to the nature of the material and design of the Leaves, they should not be sterilized and reused. Leaf mouthpieces must be properly discarded in a clinical waste container to prevent transmission of infectious pathogens.
Bite Block, Restorative Adapter and Short Hose 100% Autoclavable and Reusable. Before placement in an ultrasonic cleaner, rinse the Bite Block, Restorative Adapter and Short Hose with water and brush both external and lumen surfaces with a soft bristle brush for the exterior surface and a soft bristle lumen brush or pipe cleaner for the interior surfaces. Place in an ultrasonic unit filled with enzymatic cleaner. (note: follow instructions with enzymatic cleaner for proper mixing, exposure time, etc., per manufacturer instructions). Rinse with water, place in an autoclavable pouch. Run product through a wrapped / pouched cycle in the autoclave.

The Long Hose should stay connected to the HVE until ready for routine evacuation cleaning with an enzymatic evacuation cleaner. Running evacuation cleaners through the hose to clean out any debris at least once per week is recommended. It is not necessary to run evacuation cleaners through the hose between each patient. If running through the autoclave, follow instructions listed above for Bite Block, Restorative Adapter & Short Hose.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Proper Releaf® Restorative Position Ensure the long end of the Restorative Leaf wraps around the retromolar area on the quadrant you are working on. To assist in evacuation, when a small amount of water and saliva build up behind the Restorative Leaf, have the patient slowly push their tongue against the Leaf while closing down on the Bite Block. This will evacuate any remaining water that flows behind the Leaf.
Loose connection If you find the coupler becoming loose, it may be necessary to replace the O-ring.
