1) Before immersing the equipment, it is recommended to test the concentration of disinfectant
solution before each usage. The solution Cidex
diluted. Test strips to verify that the appropriate concentration of Cidex
available by manufacturer. Test strips will indicate a concentration above the Minimum Effective
Concentration (MEC). Temperature of disinfectant solution should be minimum 20 °C[68 °F]. The
minimum contact time is 5 minutes. If a differing disinfectant is used follow the manufacturer's
instructions. Please also consider the material compatibility for the medical device.

3) Immerge the submergible part of the scanner (see figure) into the disinfectant. Set a clock to insure
the recommended contact time is observed.
4) Rinse the submergible part of the scanner with running deionized water for 1 minute.
5) Alternatively to step 4 suspend the submergible part of the scanner in a tray filled with deionized
water for 5 min.
