CleanStream: Peace of Mind for Your Waterlines

Ever wonder what’s lurking in your dental unit waterlines? Perhaps it's time to gain peace of mind with the CleanStream Waterlines Cleaner and Waterline Test Kit from Air Techniques. The noncorrosive, premixed cleaning formula and rapid in-office waterline testing kit remove the difficulty and uncertainty from waterline maintenance and replace it with confidence that waterlines are free of microbial contamination.

The clinical team at the practice of Jeffrey Briney, DDS, has trusted the CleanStream Waterlines Cleaner and CleanStream Waterline Test Kit to clean and maintain their waterlines for more than 5 years.

DPS spoke with hygienists Karrie Thomson and Angie Faletta, who manage the waterlines in the hygiene operatories at the Dana Point, CA, practice, along with dental assistant Angie Burkett, who oversees the lines in the doctor’s operatories. Together, they shared why they believe every dental practice should adopt the CleanStream Waterlines Cleaner and Waterline Test Kit.

A Simple Routine

The CleanStream Waterlines Cleaner was extremely easy to implement in our office, especially since our operatories are self-contained with incorporated bottle systems. It’s so easy to use that a new assistant who joined our team—someone who had zero knowledge of the system—was able to acclimate on the first day.

After removing the water from the operatory’s bottle system, we just pour in the premixed CleanStream Waterlines Cleaner solution, run all the lines for a couple of seconds, and then let it sit for the weekend.

On Monday, we flush out the lines with water and immediately sit the patient. Each operatory never takes more than 3 to 4 minutes to clean weekly, and we also maintain the lines on a daily/nightly schedule.

Clean Lines, Clear Minds

In our practice, patient safety is top priority. Prior to using CleanStream Waterlines Cleaner, we were shocked when water tests revealed high bacteria counts in our waterlines, despite having new bottle-contained delivery units and consistently using sterile and distilled water in our operatories. Those unexpected results motivated us to explore solutions to get our waterlines back to levels that exceeded standard of care. CleanStream made that process simple and straightforward.

With CleanStream Waterlines Cleaner, it is very comforting to know that our lines are free of any residual bacteria and that we’re maintaining a safe environment for our patients. The in-office, 15-minute CleanStream Waterline Test Kit provides immediate reassurance that our lines are safe and compliant. We also perform regular water tests that are sent to a testing facility, and we pass with flying colors every single time.

Proven Results

We believe every dental practice that cares about the safety of their patients should be using the CleanStream Waterlines Cleaner and CleanStream Waterline Test Kit. It has been proven over and over again in our office. Having the ease of mind when we leave the office every day that we provided a safe environment for our patients is indescribable.
