3M™ True Denition Scanner Wand
Cleaning and high level disinfection are two distinct procedures
required to reprocess the 3M™ True Denition Scanner wand for
safe reuse.
Step 3: Pre-Use Check
After disinfection and before using the 3M™ True Denition Scanner, we recommend a dental professional perform a
visual check of the system. Look for cracks in the wand or cable, severe kinks in the cable, metal discoloration, corrosion
or damage of any kind. Check to make sure the wand and lens are clean.
Disinfectants for high level disinfection of the wand
Active Ingredient Minimum Concentration Examples of Tradenames* pH Range Directions for Use
0.55% Ortho-phthaldahyde (OPA) Cidex® OPA, Rapicide® OPA,
Metricide™OPA 7.2-7.8 Follow disinfectant label instructions for soak time and conditions
2% Glutaraldehyde Dentasept® Ultra, Metricide™ Plus 30,
ProCide-D® Plus, Aldahol® HLD 6.5-10 Follow disinfectant label instructions for soak time and conditions
* High level disinfection validations were conducted for the 3M True Denition Scanner Wand using Cidex OPA, Dentasept Ultra and Metricide Plus 30. If these are not available,
determine a compatible equivalent disinfectant based upon regulatory clearance (high level disinfectant), equivalent or higher active ingredient concentration and listed pH range.
Failure to adhere to the proper protocol listed in the steps above, may lead to improper disinfection and potential cross
contamination hazards.
