According to the instruction manual, here is the recommended process for cleaning and sterilizing the designs after printing:
1. Allow the design to drip off in the printer for 10 minutes after the printing process is completed.
2. Remove the construction platform and carefully cut off the supports.
3. Clean the design in a closed container with propan-2-ol (isopropanol cleaning fluid) for 5 minutes in an ultrasonic bath. Do not heat the design in the cleaning solution or leave it in the solution for a long period.
4. Use a pair of tweezers to remove the printed part from the cleaning fluid, blow it off with compressed air if necessary, and let it dry. It is recommended to dry the design in an oven at 40 °C.
5. Post-cure the design in the Otoflash G171 light curing device with 2 x 2700 flashes, turning the design between the two cycles. It is recommended to use the nitrogen (protective gas) function for improved surface and material properties. Follow the manufacturer's specifications for the device.
6. Perform manual post-processing, such as cleaning the supports and polishing with commercially available rotating instruments for plastic processing. Avoid excessive heat development during finishing and polishing to prevent inaccurate fitting after polymerization.
For disinfection, the post-cured designs can be disinfected with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic disinfectants. For sterilization with heat/steam, rinse off any soiling under running water, select a suitable package for the product and sterilization procedure, and follow the parameters for steam sterilization provided in the manual.
Please note that it is important to follow the instructions in the manual carefully to ensure proper cleaning and sterilization of the designs.
