Stop legionella!

Measures to disinfect treatment water in order to reduce the germ load in spray mist are more important than ever. Correct decontamination is the magic word to effectively prevent infections in the dental practice. Not only legionella, but also dangers from E.coli bacteria or staphylococci can be minimized.

As practice owners, dentists are required to both meet the legal requirements and ensure that employees and patients are protected against infection. At the same time, additional efforts to operate and maintain the systems and solutions used should be kept as low as possible.

METASYS water decontamination systems decontaminate dental process water as well as water-bearing pipes and effectively prevent limescale. Numerous consumers such as water glass fillers, syringes and turbines can be supplied with decontaminated water.

In addition, the METASYS WEK water decontamination system complies with DIN EN 1717, a regulation issued by the “Deutscher Verein für das Gas- und Wasserfach DVGW” (German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water), which states that water must not be returned to the public water supply system after contact with patients or chemicals. METASYS WEK is equipped with an air gap which ensures the separation of process water from fresh water.

METASYS offers the right solution for comprehensive protection against infection.
