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.
The 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?
OPTIM 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 deionized water treatment system
Your Steri-Center’s best friend.
VistaPure™ provides two grades of high-quality water for autoclaves, dental bottles, ultrasonic cleaners and instrument washers for the ultimate convenience.
Features
Universal System
VistaPure will work with the STATIM® Cassette Autoclaves, BRAVO™ Chamber Autoclaves, HYDRIM® Instrument Washers, Ultrasonic Cleaners, Dental Bottles, other select sterilizers and automated washers.
High Quality Water
Water is autoclave-ready, distilled quality (deionized) water which eliminates the need to buy distilled water or own a distiller.
Easy to Use
VistaPure’s handheld, point-and-shoot wand makes it easy for anyone to fill autoclaves, no matter where they’re located, and the system’s mounted faucet makes it easy to fill Dental Unit bottles over a sink. We will also offer unique “automatic water filling control” options for our STATIM and BRAVO sterilizers along with our HYDRIM final rinse options.
Smart Design
VistaPure’s filter panel fits neatly under the steri-center counter with slides for easy access to the filters.
Convenient
VistaPure provides a high volume of ready-to-use water, on demand. Its large 4.25-gallon storage tank means you don’t need to wait for deionization and R/O processes to take place.
Consistent
Each VistaPure features an in-line TDS meter that monitors water quality—and also makes it easy to know when it’s time to replace your filters.
Hands Free
VistaPure accessories include patented AutoFill devices designed to replenish SciCan STATIM and BRAVO autoclaves with distilled-quality water automatically, enabling truly hands-free convenience. An optional adapter kit is also available for utilizing VistaPure’s hyper-filtered water for the final rinse cycle of instrument washers.

VistaPure AutoFill
VistaPure’s patented AutoFill accessories replenish SciCan STATIM®and BRAVO™ autoclaves with distilled-quality water automatically — enabling truly hands-free convenience.
VistaPure AutoFill accessory kits work with all VistaPure systems and can be installed easily on any STATIM 2000/G4 or STATIM 5000/G4, or any BRAVO autoclave, in just a few minutes!
- No more purchasing and storing distilled water
- No more cycle-fault errors caused by forgetting to fill reservoirs
- No more spills while filling autoclaves manually
- No more staff time spent filling autoclaves = more time with patients
VistaPure AutoFill Installation
A 12-foot length of clear polyurethane tubing is already attached to the AutoFill manifold. If the desired distance between the connection to the VistaPure and the autoclave is greater than 12 feet, simply order a longer length of the clear polyurethane tubing, as the distance from the VistaPure to the autoclave is not limited, except by the feed tubing.
Installing AutoFill on a STATIM
The VistaPure AutoFill for STATIM device (S3020) can be installed on any STATIM 2000/G4 or STATIM 5000/G4 autoclave as follows:

The VistaPure AutoFill for BRAVO device (S3030) can be installed on any model BRAVO autoclave.
In order to connect the VistaPure AutoFill to the BRAVO, one of the two tanks that come with the BRAVO must be selected as a “relay tank” since the BRAVO system uses a suction-lift pump to fill its reservoir when in its automatic-filling mode. Note that the relay tank must be located within 6 feet of the BRAVO unit, due to the suction-lift capacity of the BRAVO pump.
