From SARS to Swine Flu

Protecting Your Practice

As of April 29, 2009, human cases of Swine Flu have been confirmed in the USA, Mexico, Canada and six other countries worldwide and have been suspected in many other nations. Deaths have been reported in the US and Mexico.

OPTIM can help stop the Swine Flu epidemicThe World Health Organization warned that the swine flu outbreak is moving closer to becoming a pandemic, and raised its pandemic alert to phase 5 (phase 6 is the highest in the scale; it is for a full-scale pandemic).

Just how safe are we against the Swine Flu? According to the WHO, CDC and Health Canada, taking precautions to protect yourself and your practice is the best course of action.

Surface disinfection in dental and medical practices is performed daily. However, which product is the best choice?

Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide technology in OPTIMOPTIM 33TB, with AHP (accelerated hydrogen peroxide) technology, is a surface cleaner and disinfectant that has gained the reputation as being one of the most effective and safe surface disinfectants on the market.

It has a 1 minute virucidal claim against both enveloped (easy to kill viruses such as Influenza) and nonenveloped viruses (difficult to kill viruses such as Polio) which provides an added level of “comfort and confidence” in the event of a viral outbreak.

Its superior virucidal efficacy was recognized and subsequently recommended for the cleaning and disinfection of surfaces within all major healthcare facilities in Ontario Canada during the widely publicized SARS epidemic in early 2003. AHP was chosen because of its unique ability to balance rapid effectiveness with user and patient safety.

Confidence is key in any outbreak situation and when dealing with a relatively unknown virus such as new strains of the H1N1 Swine Flu.

OPTIM contains no VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) and carries no precautionary warnings on the label (EPA Cat. 4). OPTIM 33TB provides safer infection control for tattoo, piercing, dental and medical staff, their patients and their environment.

VistaPure filter replacement schedule details

It is not typically necessary to change all the filters at the same time. The pre-filter and polishing filter should be changed at least once per year and the deionization and hyper filtration filters changed only as needed as indicated by TDS tests.
Here are some basic guidelines: pre-filter and polishing filter elements should be changed annually in relatively rare instances of source water with unusually high levels of sediment or debris such as areas surrounded by heavy construction. The pre filter element may need to be changed more frequently due to premature plugging of the filter.
The ionization filters typically last anywhere from four months to three years depending on the volume of usage and the quality of the local water supply. Both the ionization filters should be changed whenever the system mounted TDS meter in the "out" position displays a number equal to or greater than four parts per million. It's important never to fill an autoclave with water with greater than five parts per million TDS.
VistaPure's hyper filtration element typically only needs to be replaced every three to five years depending on the volume of usage and the quality and pressure of the local water supply. Replace the hyper filtration element whenever the system mounted TDS meter in the "in" position exceeds 10% of the TDS of the municipal water supply feeding the system as measured with the included handheld meter checking water quality with the provided TDS meters monthly will help you keep ahead of required filter changes.
Please note that water should be running through the system when checking water quality using the system mounted TDS meter, simply run the Vista peer faucet for a few moments in the system will start to produce water and yield accurate results. Also please note that all filters are not created equal using inferior knockoff filter elements or following protocols different from those specified by the manufacturer may result in less than desirable outcomes and inhibits our ability to provide customer service and warranty support for the system.

How to Change VistaPure Filters

The Prefilter & Polishing filter should be changed at least once per year, and the Deionization and Hyperfiltration filters only need to be changed on an as-needed basis.
