Using Monarch CleanStream Each Day Keeps Evacuation Line Debris Away
Maximize any vacuum performance and evacuation line cleanliness with this dependable daily evacuation system cleaner and easy-to-use dispenser
Practice makes perfect, especially for dental students, who learn the bulk of their practical industry lessons through hands-on experiences delivering dental care. That’s why dental students at Rio Salado College in Tempe, AZ, provide hygiene and preventive treatment to their local community through the college’s dental clinic, with supervision from experienced dentists and registered hygienists.
“Since we are a school, we have 21 operatories to treat patients,” said Shanna Jennings, instructional services coordinator for Rio Salado College’s dental programs. “To fully maximize the number of patients we can treat, we must keep all our operatories running smoothly. So, our students run Air Techniques’ CleanStream evacuation system cleaner through the dental clinic’s evacuation lines at the end of each day.”
Since switching to Monarch CleanStream for evacuation line cleaning, Jennings noticed, “Our vacuum’s suction works great, and this product is easy to use with our current system. We haven’t had any problems.”
Cleaner, Safer, and More Cost-Effective
A nonfoaming and noncorrosive formula, CleanStream effectively removes vacuum fluids and debris while preventing future buildups, which improves overall suction performance. It is the only evacuation line cleaner that Air Techniques recommends for daily use to prolong the life of their dental vacuum systems and keep everyone in the operatory safe. It also pairs well with both wet and dry vacuums, and just 20 mL of the concentrated solution is needed to clean each operatory. The 33.8-oz bottle contains enough CleanStream for 50 cleanings, and the 84.5-oz bottle can provide for 125 cleanings, making both bottles economical options. Once mixed, CleanStream lasts up to 5 days.
Compliant with Best Management Practices for dental amalgam waste, CleanStream’s nonoxidizing, nonenzymatic formulation has a neutral pH that meets EPA requirements and is compatible with amalgam separators.
An Easy-to-Use Dispenser
To further increase convenience and efficiency while keeping up with necessary maintenance, using the CleanStream Dispenser ensures simple, no-mess evacuation line cleaning in dental operatories. Not only does the dispenser fit all HVE and saliva ejector tubing but it can be ready for use in 3 steps: mix, shake, and aspirate.
What makes the dispenser especially unique is its integration of Vortex technology, which atomizes air and liquid to fully clean the inner walls of tubing. It dispenses the proper amount of CleanStream on its own, and it closes tightly for transportation be- tween operatories to prevent spilling.
A Suitable Vacuum System
Another dependable product from Air Techniques that goes hand in hand with Monarch CleanStream is the Mojave Dry Vacuum System. Already requiring minimal maintenance by not using water or oil to create vacuum suction, this dental dry vacuum provides excellent power and a high flow rate for every clinician in the dental practice.
“It works. It keeps up with what we need. We’ve had no issues or break-downs,” said Emily Boge, EdD, RDH, CDA. “We don’t have downtime or lose clinic time because suction has gone out, and we don’t have to deal with expensive repair bills. It’s just a good product.”
No matter which Mojave Dry Vac is used, including the V3M, V5M, or V7M, its additional pumps only turn on when needed, further conserving energy usage and decreasing equipment wear. Staggered impellers also generate higher torque with less heat, while limiting extraneous noise.
When used with the cloud-based Vision Monitor, Mojave dry vacuum systems can even send users data regarding the unit’s power level, voltage, temperature, pump frequency, and separator rpm. However, with all these features and benefits in mind, keeping any vacuum unit clean is vital for sustaining the best performance and functionality possible.
