5. Instructions for Use
5.1 Instrument Reprocessing Recommendations
The Hydrim L110w is designed to clean general dental and medical instruments.
SciCan recommends terminal sterilization after processing in the Hydrim L110w
When used correctly, the Hydrim L110w is effective for the removal of debris on instruments that may result in the insulation of microorganisms during terminal sterilization. Prior to placing instruments in the Hydrim, consult the instrument manufacturer’s reprocessing instructions. All critical and semi-critical instruments can be considered clean after processing in the Hydrim L110w. Non-critical instruments can be terminally processed in the Hydrim L110w.
Examples of medical and dental instruments suitable for cleaning in the Hydrim L110w include:
- Stainless steel scalers, spatulas and hemostats.
- Stainless steel retractors, needle holders, skin hooks, tissue forceps, scissors, curettes, and other stainless steel instruments free of deep cavities.
For best results, instruments processed in the Hydrim L110w should have the following properties:
- Heat resistance to a temperature of up to 70°C / 158°F
- Corrosion resistance in the presence of heat and alkalinity.
Burs, dental handpieces, microkeratomes, phaco tubing, fiberoptics and electrical equipment should not be processed in the Hydrim.
HIPTM (Hydrim Cleaning Solution with Instrument Protection) has been carefully formulated to provide outstanding material compatibility with a wide range of metals and coatings. However, some manufacturers’ instruments may not be compatible.
All hinged instruments should be placed in open baskets in P3 Heavy-Duty cycle.
When processing small or light objects in the Hydrim use the basket with lid (SciCan part number 01-109966S).

6. Care and Maintenance
6.1 Replacing the HIP Cleaning Solution
The Hydrim L110w uses a 3.8L / 1 gallon container of HIP Cleaning Solution (Part number CS-HIPL). Use only the recommended cleaning solution and read the MSDS before inserting into the unit.
To order additional HIP Cleaning Solution, contact your local dealer. When the message “no detergent” appears on the screen, the cleaning solution container is empty and is in need of changing. To avoid spillage, replace the solution container only when the message appears and be sure to wear gloves.
NOTE: Each cleaning solution container will last approximately 30 cycles, depending on which cycles are used.
To replace the cleaning solution container, follow these steps:
- Turn the power switch OFF.
- Open the cleaning solution door.
- Disconnect the cleaning solution connector. Remove any dried chemical by immersing the connector in a cup of water.
- Remove the empty cleaning solution container and discard or recycle.
- Connect new container and insert into the cleaning solution compartment. Follow the instructions printed on each cleaning solution container.
- Close the door.
- Turn the power switch ON
4. Cleaning the Hydrim L110w
To clean outer surfaces and the decal covering the touchscreen, use a soft cloth moistened with soap and water or a surface disinfectant. Do not use harsh cleaning chemicals.
If preparing the unit for transport or storage, waste water should be removed from the sump.
Waste water in the unit may contain biological contaminants. Use a mechanical means to siphon the contents. Wear disposable rubber gloves. Dispose of absorbent material according to biological waste disposal regulations.
