Sterile Working

Non-sterile delivery of the SonicWeld Rx® system
All components of the SonicWeld Rx® system are delivered non-sterile.
Sonotrodes, open-end wrench and handpieces with connecting cables are located in the sterile area of the
operating environment, which is why they must be used in sterile condition.
• Make sure that the handpieces are dry.
• Ensure that the sonotrodes, the open-end wrench and the handpieces with connecting cables have been
properly sterilized; see section 5, "Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization", page 69.

Improper sterilization and non-sterile handling of the SonicWeld Rx® system can pose serious health risks

Make sure that the SonicWeld Rx® system components to be used are sterile, see section 5, "Cleaning,
disinfection, and sterilization", page 69.
The handpieces with connection cables, the sonotrodes and the open-end wrench are steam-sterilizable,
