Head Maintenance
• Only use the contra angle head provided with the cordless handpiece or one that is
sold by LightSpeed Technology Inc. specifically for the LightSpeed EndoPAL
handpiece. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
• Please follow the contra angle maintenance and sterilization instructions between
each patient use.
• Steam autoclaving is the only acceptable sterilizing method. Remove from
handpiece and autoclave between patient uses. Sterilize between 121°C and
132°C for 15 to 20 minutes at 15-PSI minimum pressure. Follow manufactures
directions of the unit you are using for autoclaving. Never autoclave with an
instrument in head. Allow head to cool to room temperature before use.
• You may use rubbing alcohol to wipe off the head but this is not a sufficient
sterilization process.
• Lubricate the head with handpiece oil between each use and prior to autoclaving.
Clean off any excess oil that could seep into handpiece body, damage its
components or get into the patient’s mouth.
