In the current climate, hygiene is a more sensitive and relevant topic than ever before. That’s why at KaVo, we continue to work hard to ensure that you can rely on our safety features in every step of your work.<\/p>\n
When it comes to hygiene, there are always two priorities: your personal safety, and the safety of your patients and staff. And this applies during all stages of treatment. To ensure this happens, all KaVo products have reliable, smart details and features that are intended to protect everyone involved in the process from infections.<\/p>\n
You can always rely on KaVo Hygiene Solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n In KaVo treatment units for example, intelligent hygiene solutions have always been integrated, meaning there is less exposure for operators. In addition, automated processes save valuable time when implementing hygiene measures and guarantee years of functional reliability – even in extended periods of non-use.<\/p>\n In addition, KaVo instruments are also equipped with clever features that optimize hygiene levels at all times. For example, our anti-suckback retraction system helps keep instruments more hygienically safe and in optimum working condition.<\/p>\n The KaVo hygiene solutions are rounded off with consumable products such as the Kerr CaviWipes for simple surface disinfection.<\/p>\n Important advice for KaVo Treatment units and Instruments: Hygiene measures weekly, after extended times of non-use or unregular use<\/strong><\/p>\n Cleaning and disinfecting of instrument tubes (inside) and water supply system:<\/strong><\/p>\n Cleaning and disinfecting suction tubes and suction system:<\/strong><\/p>\n As soon as the unit has reached step “4.0 Einwirkphase”, switch off the device.

If the last intensive germ reduction was more than a week ago, repeat the process\u00a0at the first day before re-starting treatments<\/strong>. Allow around 45 minutes for this process.<\/p>\n Processing of instruments<\/strong><\/p>\n Please process the instruments as soon as possible after the treatment and avoid leaving the instruments on the motor couplings or quick couplings after treatment.
