TRIOS Scanner Tip: Cleaning and Sterilization
The TRIOS scanner tip is the part of the TRIOS scanner that is inserted into the patient’s mouth during scanning. The TRIOS scanner tip can be re-used up to 60 times. The TRIOS scanner tip should be cleaned and sterilized prior to its first use on patients and after each use on a patient to avoid cross-contamination.

Step 1: Clean TRIOS scanner tip

Wearing gloves, clean the TRIOS scanner tip manually using detergent diluted accordingto manufacturer’s instructions.

Apply the detergent directly on a soft bristled brush.

Wash the TRIOS scanner tip under running lukewarm (30-40 °C) utility water

Inspect the window of the TRIOS scanner tip after cleaning. If the window appears with stains, smudged or with a milky haze, repeat this step.

Step 2: Rinse and dry TRIOS scanner tip

Rinse with lukewarm (30-40 °C) tap water

Dry the TRIOS scanner tip carefully with a nonwoven swab.

Step 3: Sterilize TRIOS scanner tip

Put the TRIOS scanner tip in a sterilization pouch.

Sterilize the pouched TRIOS scanner tip in a Dynamic-Air-Removal Steam Sterilizer (Class B autoclave) with one of the two programs depending on your region:

In the US: Autoclave the TRIOS scanner tip at 132 °C (269.6 °F) with a cycle of 4 minutes exposure time and 30 minutes dry time.

In the EU: Autoclave the TRIOS scanner tip at 134 °C (273.2 °F) with a cycle of 3 minutes exposure time and 30 minutes dry time

	CAUTIONThe window in the TRIOS scanner tip is a delicate optical component. Its clean and undamaged surface is critical for the scan quality.The window should be handled with care. Do not scratch it. Be careful not to smudge it before scanning a patient.
	CAUTIONAlways clean the TRIOS scanner tip immediately after use.If biological materials (bioburden) are allowed to dry on equipment, disinfection and sterilization processes may not be effective.
	CAUTIONNever autoclave a TRIOS scanner tip that is not wrapped, since this will leave unremovable stains on the mirror. See the autoclave manualfor more information.
	CAUTIONNew TRIOS scanner tips must be cleaned and sterilized before using them for the first time.
	CAUTIONA class B Vacuum autoclave according to EN 13060 is required for sterilization of the TRIOS scanner tip.
