Deconex 34 GR

Our mirror handles have an average life span of 300 autoclave cycles with Class B autoclaves at 135 degrees centigrade. But even so, It's easy to give your mirrors TLC to make it last longer:

1. Put the cover on after use, before washing, during soaking and sterilization and in storage.

2. Avoid dropping the mirrors.

3. Prior to patient use, make sure that the mirror lens is secured in place. Please check carefully if the lens are placed properly to avoid the lens popping out of the handle. Please make sure the lens is flushed into the handle. Please tap the head of the mirror to check if the lens will loosely pop out. If this is so, please get a new handle already.

4. Use the recommended solutions to clean and disinfect the mirrors (ex. Enzymatic solution)

5. Always pack the mirrors in autoclave pouches and avoid the mirrors to touch the hottest areas of the autoclave.

6. For new mirrors, do not remove the lenses without prior autoclave sterilization.

7. For M1 Light source, please use rechargeable AAA batteries and avoid leaving batteries in the module. Never forget to remove after use. Never soak in Liquid and Never Autoclave or sterilize. Avoid dropping them as well. Like any light source, bulbs can break when dropped. Be careful.

When your mirror handle has aged and gone through a lot of autoclave cycles, it is time to change the handle.

Disinfection and Sterilization

Pre washing with dishwashing soap and smooth, soft sponge or even just the handler's fingers may be done to remove surface debris.

Composites and Bonding agents that may have stuck on the mirror may be cleaned with alcohol based rapid disinfectant such as Deconex Solarsept.

We recommend Deconex Instrument Plus to soak the mirrors in.

The whole mirror can be soaked in enzymatic solution and can be autoclaved except for M1 Bright LED light source module and batteries.

For M1, PLEASE REMOVE THE LIGHT SOURCE IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE OR PRIOR TO SOAKING/WASHING OR DISINFECTION. Light source module can be wiped with disinfectant alcohol wipes ONLY.

For M7, It is best to suction water after use to help clean walls of the hose, before soaking in enzymatic solution. Please use a hose/straw brush to avoid biofilm build up inside the hose's walls and the lumen of the M7 handle while cleaning with enzymatic solution.

You may also remove the mirror lens to thoroughly clean the handle of blood, plaque debris and saliva.

Mirror Replacement

WHEN DO YOU KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME TO REPLACE THE MIRROR? 

1. For handles, when the lenses get loose without active removal. If your mirror handle has gone through its life span or the lens has been changed several times, tap the mirror handle head with enough force, if the lens falls out, its time to change the mirror. 

2. For lenses, when antifog coating has worn out due to sterilization. Also, when there are obvious signs of scratches that make the lens blurry.
