When it comes to delivering safe, high-quality dental care, keeping your dental unit waterlines (DUWL) clean isn’t just about following regulations; it’s a vital part of ensuring patient safety. However, for many dental practices, managing waterline hygiene can be a hassle, often inconsistent, and sometimes even neglected.
That’s why A-dec is excited to unveil A-dec® Maintain, a fully integrated and automated system for disinfecting dental unit waterlines. This innovative solution is designed to make compliance easier while boosting daily efficiency, representing a major leap forward in modern dental infection control. With A-dec Maintain, the complicated task of daily waterline upkeep is transformed into a smooth, intelligent process, allowing your team to focus on what they do best, ensuring consistent hygiene, and providing you with peace of mind.
Smarter Waterline Hygiene, Built In
Dental unit waterlines are particularly vulnerable to microbial contamination due to their warm temperatures, low flow rates, and narrow tubing. If left unchecked, these conditions can lead to the growth of biofilm and bacteria, resulting in unpleasant odours, equipment malfunctions, and potential health risks for both patients and staff.
A-dec Maintain tackles this problem right at the source, utilising a continuous dosing system that treats the waterlines with a 2% hydrogen peroxide-based solution. This system is seamlessly integrated into the floor box of A-dec 500, A-dec 400, or A-dec 300 chairs, working automatically to provide consistent disinfection without disrupting the unit’s movement or functionality. Once installed, the system operates quietly in the background, continuously ensuring hygiene without requiring daily attention.
A Maintenance-Free Approach That Saves Time
One of the biggest perks of A-dec Maintain is how user-friendly it is. With a 750 ml concentrate bottle that can last anywhere from 30 to 40 working days dependent on usage, you can say goodbye to daily tablet dosing. This isn’t just about convenience; it’s a smart move. By cutting out the need for constant checks and manual treatments,
A-dec Maintain allows dental teams to save precious time, minimise the chances of human error, and concentrate on what really matters: taking care of patients.
Built for Compliance, Trusted for Safety
Infection control has evolved from being good practice to a must-have requirement. A-dec Maintain helps practices meet the Deutscher Verein des Gas-und Wasserfaches (DVGW) EN 1717 standard from Germany’s technical and scientific authority on water safety. This means that dental practices using A-dec Maintain can operate with complete peace of mind, knowing their disinfection process aligns with some of the toughest European hygiene standards.
More Than Just Daily Disinfection
While automated dosing is the core of the system, A-dec Maintain is crafted to provide comprehensive waterline management. When paired with A-dec ICX Renew® for periodic shock treatments, this system becomes an integral part of a thorough protocol for water quality throughout the lifespan of the unit.
Seamless Integration, No Compromises
A-dec Maintain is cleverly integrated into the floor box of the dental chair, ensuring that the unit’s full range of motion is preserved, and there are no limitations on chair height or swivel. This thoughtful design means the disinfection system won’t interfere with patient care or ergonomics, keeping the workflow smooth and efficient for dental teams. The outcome is a system that complements your practice rather than complicates it.
Dental professionals in Europe can now upgrade their dental units with A-dec Maintain. Whether a single-chair practice or multiple operatories, this innovation provides a practical and scalable solution to enhance hygiene and efficiency. A-dec Maintain isn’t just an add-on, it sets a new benchmark for modern dental care. With A-dec Maintain, you can automate this essential part of your infection control protocol, freeing up your team from routine maintenance and ensuring your practice remains compliant and safe in and day out. This isn’t just a product; it’s a step toward a smarter, safer future for dental care.
