First of all, the instrument as a whole cannot be sterilized. Autoclaving the entire instrument will ruin the instrument motor and battery. The body of the ALGERBRUSH and cap are to be wiped clean with alcohol before and after each use.
- The simplest procedure is to remove the chuck and burr as one unit and sterilize them both. The burr itself is very small and can be easily lost if separated from the chuck.
- First, clean and debride the chuck and burr, then thoroughly DRY them before sterilizing. The burr end is carbide steel and will rust or corrode if not properly cleaned and dried. After drying, package them individually
- The burr and chuck can be sterilized either in a Chem-Clave (chemical autoclave), dry-heat sterilizer such as the Cox Sterilizer, autoclaved, or gassed.
- After sterilization examine the burr to make sure it is free of rust.
- Hold burr with sterile Foley hemostat to remove or insert into chuck.
- See instructions when re-assembling the ALGERBRUSH or ALGERBRUSH II to make sure the chuck is secure on the motor shaft and the burr is secure in the chuck. These are both held in place by friction.
