Compatibility – Suction disinfectants and Cleaners.
In the field of dentistry, the paramount importance of infection control cannot be overstated. Upholding a safe and hygienic environment for both patients and dental health professionals is a fundamental ethical and practical obligation. Within this context, dental suction units, often referred to as dental evacuators or vacuum systems, emerge as essential components in dental practice. They are specifically designed to manage oral fluids and maintain a clear and hygienic environment during dental procedures. Dental suction units play a pivotal role in the removal of oral fluids, including saliva, blood, crevicular fluid, and other substances generated during dental treatments. While these instruments facilitate a clear field of vision for dentists during procedures, they can also serve as potential sources of infection transmission due to the presence of oral fluids, which are known carriers of infectious agents. Therefore, the effective cleaning and disinfection of dental suction units is non-negotiable and represents a matter of critical concern. Achieving this balance, however, is a formidable challenge that necessitates striking the right equilibrium between cleaning/ disinfection efficacy and material compatibility. While powerful cleaner and disinfectants are often needed to effectively remove soils and eliminate infectious agents, the materials comprising dental suction units, including plastics, rubbers, and metals, can be sensitive to the chemical composition of cleaners and disinfectants. Incompatibility issues can lead to the deterioration of unit components over time, potentially compromising their effectiveness and lifespan. Furthermore, the degradation of materials caused by incompatible disinfectants may create sites for the accumulation of soils, debris and microorganisms. This unintended outcome not only undermines the purpose of disinfection but also escalates the risk of crosscontamination within the dental environment. The careful selection of cleaners and disinfectants that both effectively combat infectious agents and soils removal while demonstrate compatibility with dental suction unit materials is pivotal. It is imperative for maintaining not only the functionality and structural integrity of the units but also the overall safety and well-being of both patients and dental staff. Balancing the efficacy of disinfection and cleaning with the preservation of unit materials is an essential endeavor, central to the success of dental practices in delivering the highest standards of infection control.
Balancing Act: Efficacy vs Material Compatibility.
Achieving the delicate balance between efficacy and material compatibility is not only essential but also the foremost objective in ensuring effective infection control while preserving equipment longevity. Our dental suction unit disinfectants and cleaners represent the flagship products in our portfolio, having been developed and sold since the establishment of Oro Clean Chemie AG in 1969. With a long-standing and well-established market history, coupled with rigorous material compatibility testing, our products offer a solution that eliminates the need to compromise between cleaning/disinfectant efficacy and material compatibility.
FAQ
-
How is the exposure time determined for disinfectants?
European standards specify the required exposure times for disinfectants to achieve their claimed efficacy. The standards provide detailed instructions on the duration of contact between the disinfectant and the microorganism to ensure effective inactivation or reduction.
-
What's the main goal of the EN 14885:2022 document, especially in a medical context?
EN 14885:2022 serves as a comprehensive guide for chemical disinfectants and antiseptics, especially in the medical field. It outlines the standards for testing these products to ensure they are effective and safe for use in various medical settings, like hospitals and clinics. The document helps manufacturers validate their product claims, assists users in selecting appropriate products, and guides regulatory authorities in evaluating these products.
-
Can you explain the difference between 'with mechanical action' and 'without mechanical action' in EN 14885:2022?
With mechanical action" refers to the process of physically wiping a surface or object with a disinfectant, enhancing the removal of microbes. This is common in settings where thorough cleaning is necessary. "Without mechanical action" means applying the disinfectant without any physical aid, for example through spraying. This method relies solely on the chemical properties of the disinfectant to kill or deactivate microbes. The choice between these methods depends on the specific requirements of the healthcare setting and the type of surface being disinfected.
-
What precautions should be taken when using disinfectants on electronic medical equipment?
When using disinfectants on electronic medical equipment, it's important to avoid spraying directly onto the device. Instead, use a cloth moistened with the disinfectant. Ensure that the disinfectant is compatible with electronic components and that the equipment is powered off and disconnected from power sources before disinfection.
-
Are there any best practices for testing the compatibility of a new disinfectant with healthcare materials?
Best practices for testing a new disinfectant include conducting spot tests on a small, inconspicuous area of the material, monitoring for any adverse reactions, and verifying the results against the disinfectant's material compatibility chart. It's also recommended to consult with the disinfectant manufacturer for any specific testing protocols or guidelines they may provide.
-
What is EN ISO 21530 and how does it relate to the use of disinfectants in healthcare?
EN ISO 21530 is a standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for assessing the compatibility of disinfectants with the materials used in medical devices. Its main objective is to ensure that the physical and chemical properties of medical device materials are maintained even after repeated disinfection processes. This ensures that the products can continue to be used safely and effectively in the healthcare sector.
-
How does EN ISO 21530 influence the selection of disinfectants for medical devices?
EN ISO 21530 has a significant impact on the selection of medical device disinfectants by providing healthcare providers with clear information on which disinfectants have been thoroughly tested and proven to have no harmful effects on the materials used in their medical devices. This enables professionals to select disinfectants that will not compromise the integrity or functionality of the devices and therefore maintain the highest safety standards.

Note
-
No visible surface damage or effect on the material is likely to occur when used according to label directions. No change to the integrity of the material is expected.
-
Some visible surface damage such as tarnishing or clouding may be seen with long-term exposure. Little to no effect on material intergrity is expected. Periodic wiping of surfaces with a clean damp cloth to remove residue can help to minimize damage.
-
Visible damage to the surface is likely to occur with long-term exposure and some effect on material integrity is possible. Surfaces should be wiped with a clean damp cloth immediately after the contact time has been reached to reduce the risk of damage. Users should evaluate the risk of surface damage vs the benefits of disinfectant efficacy against pathogens to determine whether the products is appropriate for use.
