Please note:
To prevent fogging during use, we highly recommend running the mirror under hot water for a few seconds, prior to inserting into the patient's mouth, to raise the overall temperature of the mirror (prevents condensation). A soft paper towel or 2 x 2 gauze pad can be used to remove excess water droplets.
Care should be taken to ensure both proper cleaning and longevity. The recommended method for decontamination is thorough cleaning followed by steam sterilization using the following procedures.
Manual cleaning:
Prior to autoclaving we recommend the mirror be placed in an UltraSonic cleaner, separate from other sharp instruments (to prevent scratching of the chromed, mirrored surface), to remove any contaminants. The mirror should be thoroughly rinsed, dried and placed in a sterilization bag prior to autoclaving.
