Jordco ENDORING II User manual

Steam autoclave a new e-Foam insert prior to use. Unused or ultrasonically cleaned
files may be placed in the e-Foam insert prior to processing. Autoclaving will not
remove bioburden left behind from prior usage. The e-Foam insert, along with files,
may be placed in an FDA approved autoclave pouch/bag prior to processing. Do not
exceed temperature of 275°F (135°C). To avoid deforming the e-Foam insert, do not
load or stack items on top of the e-Foam insert during autoclave processing.
Dispose of after each use.
Processing Instructions:
A. Place the Jordco e-Foam insert into the EndoRing cup. Pull the
e-Foam insert out the bottom of the cup to seat the e-Foam

Jordco e-Foam Inserts
B. Arrange hand files, rotary files or other instruments such as
Gates Gliddens into the e-Foam insert. Remove all file bioburden
prior to autoclaving files in the e-Foam insert. When using rubber
stops, utilize the stop locks on either the built-in ruler or the
detachable metal ruler to increase or decrease the instrument’s
working length. The rulers perform well with paper points, gutta
percha and many other endodontic instruments. To efficiently
clean instruments simply pass them in and out of the e-Foam
insert. You can also clean instruments by sliding them through
the corrugated area on top of the e-Foam insert. Rubber stops
can be safely added to instruments using the ports located on
the back of the EndoRing cup.

Single Use e-Foam Inserts
DO NOT REUSE
Always use new files or previously used instruments cleaned with ultrasonic cleaning prior to placing them into a new
piece of e-Foam insert for steam autoclave processing. Files can be placed directly into a new single use e-Foam
insert and then placed into a standard pack for steam autoclave processing. Avoid placing heavy objects onto the
autoclave pack to avoid deforming the foam.
