After handpiece use, remove the rotary instrument from the handpiece using safe methods and discard into an appropriate sharps container.
- Remove the handpiece from the coupling or dental tubing.
- Open the RiteWipe cap and seal to remove the wipe.
- Close the seal, then the cap on the RiteWipe pouch to ensure wipe integrity and cleanliness.
- With the RiteWipe “Blue Dot Technology” facing towards the handpiece surface, wipe the handpiece in a rotational direction around the handpiece, touching all surfaces, starting at the head and moving towards the bottom.
Rotate the handpiece within the wipe several times until debris and bioburden are no longer visible, paying close attention to the fiber optic lens area (if present), water port(s) area, and uneven surfaces.
