Two simple steps to make your water safe
Frequent periods of water stagnation in dental unit water lines (DUWLs) promote the growth of biofilm-forming microorganisms. A study of water obtained from DUWLs showed that in 95 per cent of samples, microbial loading exceeded European Union drinking water guidelines (Walker, 2000). Although flushing of water lines is recommended by HTM 01-05, studies (Walker, 2003) have shown that flushing alone results in only a 0.5 per cent reduction in biofilm coverage. schülke watersafe completely removes biofilm in DUWLs and then provides continual protection against biofilm reforming. Stage one is a unique, one-off procedure to completely eliminate
viable bacteria and reduce biofilm coverage by 100 per cent in one hour, using the schülke watersafe Starter Kit.
Stage two gives continuous protection against biofilm reforming. schülke watersafe Cleaning Solution is added to the Clean Water Bottle and remains in the system continuously without the need to empty the bottle at night or weekends.

Repetitive routines prone to error
To err is human, and mistakes in dental disinfection procedures can be extremely serious. For this reason, Dürr Dental has colour coded its preparations with a special four-colour system to provide users with greater clarity. Dürr Dental concentrate for instrument disinfection ID 213 or drill disinfection ID 220, for example, are coded with the colour blue. Pink is for hand disinfection and green is the Dürr System hygiene colour for disinfection of contaminated surfaces.
Disinfection and cleaning products are yellow. Foam-free liquid concentrate Orotol plus with long-term effect is suited to simultaneous disinfection, cleaning, deodorising and care of suction units and amalgam separators.

Perfect partners for over 50 years
A good friendship lasts forever. This is evident in the compatibility of suction machines and Orotol plus. The two have been inseparable for 50 years now.
Dürr Dental suction machines, which have allowed patients to be treated in a supine position since the early 1960s, help ensure the smooth running of a clinic. In the worst case, a faulty suction machine can bring a clinic to a standstill. Today the performance of about half of all suction units is compromised by deposits and clogging, largely a result of improper maintenance.
Since 1965, Orotol plus has been the safe and effective solution for suction units. Ease of use, broad spectrum efficacy and high material compatibility distinguish Orotol plus. It is the best option for extending the service life of
suction units.
As far as the safety and longevity of your suction unit are concerned, you can fully rely on these partners. Suction machines and Orotol plus are a match made in heaven!
