Now W&H has released a totally new system that quickly cleans both inside and the outside of instruments prior to sterilization; and also effectively lubricates in the one simple operation.

After cleaning, instruments must be effectively lubricated to ensure long life and the smooth and quiet operation of high speed moving parts to prevent premature wear and vibration. Up to three instruments at a time can be completely processed in just six minutes by the Assistina 3 x 3, and then processed in a Lisa Fully Automatic sterilizer in just 20 minutes. This validated cleaning process conforms to the European Swissmedic and Robert Koch Institute recommendations, and dramatically streamlines instrument processing in the dental practice, allowing staff to concentrate on their patients. Three-step process The Assistina 3x3 uses the following three-step process to prepare turbines and straight and contra- angle handpieces for sterilization: 1. Automatic internal cleaning During internal cleaning, the spray channels and gearing components of the instruments are cleaned with the special W&H ActiveFluid cleaning solution. Spray channels and gearing components are blow- dried to remove residues of cleaner. The thorough cleaning ensures that instruments operate correctly throughout their service lives. 2. Automatic external cleaning W&H ActiveFluid cleaning solution is sprayed directly onto all instruments one by one. After allowing the cleaning solution to work for a short time, the instruments are blow-dried. Removing organic deposits ensures the safety of patients and staff, and in combination with effective sterilization in a Lisa Class B sterilizer, guarantees perfect preparation. 3. Automatic internal lubrication. Immediately following cleaning and prior to removal from the unit, the internal gearing components automatically receive a precise amount of W&H’s patented F1 Service Oil for trouble-free and quiet operation of the handpiece. The Assistina 3 x 3 is suitable for straight and contra-angle handpieces, turbines, air motors and air-driven scalers. Operating the unit is as simple as a press of a button, with no special training of clinical staff required. u More information on the new Assistina 3x3 is available from A-dec phone: 1800 225 010 or at www.wh.com New ‘Assistina 3 x 3’ CLEANS INSIDE AND OUT Proper cleaning and sterilization of handpieces are two of the most important tasks in any dental practice.

In the past, this required laborious hand cleaning and lubrication of individual handpieces and turbines.
However, this was both time consuming and failed to reliably clean the instruments inside and out.
Now W&H has released a totally new system that quickly cleans both inside and the outside of instruments prior to sterilization; and also effectively lubricates in the one simple operation.
The new ‘Assistina 3 x 3’ is the only automated handpiece maintenance unit to provide an independently validated process for thorough internal and external cleaning and lubrication of turbines and straight and contra-angle handpieces.
W&H Product Manager, at A-dec, Shal Hafiz, said it was important that gross contamination and
biofilm was removed from both the inside and outside of instruments for steam sterilization to be effective.
After cleaning, instruments must be effectively lubricated to ensure long life and the smooth and quiet operation of high speed moving parts to prevent premature wear and vibration.
Up to three instruments at a time can be completely processed in just six minutes by the Assistina 3 x 3, and then processed in a Lisa Fully Automatic sterilizer in just 20 minutes.
