Abstract

This process is characterized by the following process operations: a) the suction zone (3) is rinsed, b) a maintenance agent is introduced into this suction zone, c) this maintenance agent is distributed in the suction area, d) the maintenance agent is deposited on the inner wall of the system, for example the flexible hose, e) the maintenance agent reacts with the constituents contained in the aspirated material, f) l The maintenance agent dissolves on its own and g) the active maintenance substances are obtained and released in the necessary amount.

Description

Method of maintaining the suction system (for example hose

  aspirant) of a dental suction device

  The invention relates to a method of maintaining the vacuum system

  In this context, the term "maintenance", for example, means cleaning, disinfection, possibly the elimination of foam and the addition of odorous substances. Until now, a concentrate has been used for this purpose which,

  according to the instructions, dilute with water before using

  To prepare the cleaning solution The liquid product is sucked in without sufficient residence time, so that only

  a small part of this product can come into play.

  In the flexible pipe, channels are formed which prevent uniform wetting of the inner wall of this pipe with the aid of

maintenance solution.

  A disadvantage of this method lies in the significant time required, which is related to a disadvantageous handling during the preparation of the maintenance solution and to an insufficient action, since most of this solution is simply

sucked without acting.

  When using an amalgam collector system, experience shows that the necessary maintenance processes currently available are unsatisfactory, which undermines the operational safety of such a collector system. increased attention is paid to the maintenance of the suction device for reasons of operational safety The inadequacy of maintenance is

  due to the fact that the staff responsible for it has to carry out operations

  many times, so that the time required for the

  In addition, there is a certain reluctance to

  taking place in the polluted suction zone.

  This is why the invention aims to provide a method of maintaining such a system which avoids the disadvantages indicated and which, thanks to easy handling taking the least possible time and requiring the least amount of agent. possible maintenance, gives the assurance of being

  accepted by the staff and ensures optimal maintenance.

  To this end, the subject of the invention is a method of maintaining the suction system (for example suction hose) of a dental suction device, characterized by the following process operations: a) the suction zone is rinsed,

  (b) a maintenance worker is introduced into that area of

  c) this maintenance agent is distributed in the suction zone, d) the maintenance agent is deposited on the inner wall of the system, for example flexible hose, e) the maintenance agent reacts with the constituents contained in the sucked material, f) the cleaning agent dissolves itself and g) the active maintenance substances are obtained and released.

in the quantity needed.

  The advantages of the invention that can be obtained are

  the highest possible acceptance, because of the possibility of

  ergonomic use, easy handling, technical reliability, favorable price / return ratio and low running costs, high efficiency and environmental friendliness, since use of the maintenance agent is high, the fact that the cleaning agent acts in the area of the suction system and not in the treatment plant, the fact that the maintenance agent adheres to deposits and moist pollutants, the release of the active substances which is thus obtained, the uniform distribution of these in the whole system, a reduced concentration of seeds in the discharge zone to the atmosphere, the deposition effect optimal, the undissolved maintenance agent finally finds its place in the storage tank of the amalgam collection system or the solids collector,

  the fact that the disinfection of the sucked material (eg

  the blood, pus, secretions, fungi, bacteria, etc.) is already effected in the suction hose, then again in the rest of the system, for example the collector, hygienic operations for personnel, for example to replace the tank and to empty the collector, the sufficiently precise dosage, the absence of error during mixing, the fact that one can obtain a better handling than in the case of a liquid, a granular product in bulk and a powder, a risk reduction: concentrated liquids have an immediate attack action, whereas for granules, powders and gels, it is only when they are in combination with the water to

  the inside of the suction hose.

  Other features and advantages of the invention are

  from the following description of an example of a

  device for implementing the method according to the invention, given in a non-limiting manner and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is an overall view of a dental treatment station comprising a suction device, Figure 2 illustrates the aspiration of a maintenance agent and Figure 3 shows on a larger scale the detail III of
