Intended purpose
Intended use
Patients receive preventative dental care involving the regular removal of plaque and tartar. Aerosols are produced by the
spray cooling used by turbines, handpieces, contra-angle pieces and prophylaxis instruments. These cooling media
generate
aerosol clouds inside and outside of the patient’s mouth. These aerosol clouds cannot be fully removed by the
saliva ejector tube or the spray mist suction cannula.
This product provides extraoral aerosol suction that removes the contaminated aerosol mist (germs and bacteria)
generated during the preventative work from directly in front of the patient’s mouth.
The product is intended to be used in the area in front of the patient’s oral cavity during the following types of work:
•
Dental prophylaxis
•
Restoration work
•
Endodontics
•
Orthodontics
When using the product for restoration work and endodontics, an additional spray mist suction unit can be operated in
parallel using an additional device-specific kit.
In the practice, the system can be used on the patient for 60 minutes per treatment with breaks. This corresponds to the
typical way of performing dentistry work.
This aerosol suction does not replace the usual protective equipment of the practice staff.
