Simple Solutions for Eliminating Down Time and Costly Service Calls
We are putting an end to dental line suction loss. This monthu2019s Practice Tips is provided by Michael Cantor, founder of TriCom Dental Products LLC, makers of the VacuShocku2122 and VacuClearu2122 vacuum treatment systems.
TriCom strives to make suction loss a thing of the past. It' s amazing how little major chemical companies know.Many products on the market do very little to ensure dental practitioners wonu2019t suffer from clogged lines and down time.
As the sole patent developer of dentistryu2019s first vacuum line shock treatment and first self - cleaning, time - released cleaning and disinfecting tablets, I would like to teach dental practitioners some simple means on how to eliminate the constant battle against suction loss with some cost savings tips.
Many days I evaluate what exactly is happening in the dental industry and the real problems dentists face in attempting to keep their suction lines running at peak performance.This has always been a struggle for so many dental practitioners, but is an even bigger problem with the mandating of < a href="https://amerdental.com/collections/all/amalgam-separation?gf_78819=Amalgam+Separator+Systems" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> amalgam separators u2014 which can further reduce suction flow.The use of my state - of - the - art method is your equalizer in fighting back.
To date, I continue to progress with new methods and developments, staying ahead of all other competitors in todayu2019s market.At TriCom, we understand the importance of making simple solutions come to life.We understand that no suction = no work.
- If you are you finally tired of constant suction line problems,
- If you are ready to eliminate constant service technicians and their costly service calls,
- If you are ready to reduce staff time by eliminating daily line flushing,
You may be ready to try a completely different approach.
Start using VacuShock complete maintenance kits and eliminate all of the above hassles.
Biofilm Build - up
Understanding suction is the key to avoiding clogs from biofilm build - up.Biofilm isnu2019t just in your water lines; itu2019s also in your vacuum lines.Most biofilm consists of a matrix of bio - film bacteria, which exists only to multiply.This matrix feeds on proteins and many prominent vacuum system cleaners that use enzymatic proteins, so they attempt to feed on the bacteria in your lines.
Enzymes require about 1 minute of exposure to become activated.As most vacuum systems pull air at more than 100 cfm, this equates to liquid moving at 100 + mph, so contact time is only seconds.The enzymes often arenu2019t activated until they are in your sewer.
VacuShock and other shock treatments help to remove biofilm from the lines, rather than trying to break them down.In as little as 1 hour, with maintenance performed by any staff member, shock tablets free your lines of yearsu2019 worth of harbored biofilm and improve vacuum performance.Both VacuShock and the complimentary product VacuClear include Invizo - Guard to provide an added protective plating effect.Invizo - Guard coats the inner lines of you vacuum system.This prevents adherence of bacteria to you vacuum lines, similar to that of a non - stick frying pan.
The Discovery
As a biochemist I was working on finishing my Ph.D, I was looking to supply Coca Cola bottling company USA with my tablets to treat the lines in their bottling plants.The funny part was the beginning.I broke down the tablets in to a liquid form.I remember asking every service tech if there was an easier way.The answer was the same : There is only one way - flushing the lines each day.Finally, I realized as it stared me right in the face u2013 with the suction on I couldnu2019t open the collector.That was when I began my patent.
On one occasion, a local distributor asked me to help out with a dental office theyu2019d been dealing with "a little issue" for months.They asked if I could meet with their service tech at the office at 7am in the morning.
I arrived at quarter to 7, as I wanted to be a bit early.By 7 : 15 he had not shown yet, so I started to feel stood up. After waiting a while longer, I proceeded to the office front door.Locked doors, no light on, no tech.
As it was pressing on 8am, I started looked in the windows and I saw someone pacing around the back.I assumed it was the doctor and I knocked on the door.The irate dentist gave meu00a0an ear beating.He asked who the heck I was ( using a little more colorful language ) and what I was doing there.
I gave him my card and he started spouting off how this was so ridiculous, saying he has been waiting since 6 : 45.I asked as long as I was there why donu2019t I take a look? At first, he stated u201cnou201d as a 3rd pump needed installation.He was starting to calm down and that is when he gave meu00a0 the 411.He again stated the distributor stood him up and now they are avoiding him.They already put in two brand new vacuum pumps ( it kind of shows how much the distributor knew as well the tech ).Their service tech blew out his line on several occasions, yet they closed, and kept on having to close the office.u201cThe tech has been messing with my practice for almost four months, u201d he said, u201cand itu2019s been closed most of the time.u201d
He went on to say u201csince youu2019re here, go ahead and look.u201d He had almost zero suction, so I pulled out my larger tablet, now called VacuShock, and 45 minutes later I had disposed of 14 containers of sludge.The Pinnacle trap filled to the rim with everything that backed up in the line.Long story short, he was in shock.His vacuum was up and running and working better than ever.
As I was leaving, I noticed a van with the distributors name on it.I walked up to the van to find the technician was sound asleep.I knocked on the window and he jolted, as he must have been in a deep sleep.He rolled down the window and asked if I was the person he needed to meet.I stated yeah, he starts opening the vans door, as he was mumbling kind of under his breath about u201cnot wanting to spend half my day trying to blow out the system again.u201d
In response I told him it was done, in which he replied u201cNO WAY, you werenu2019t up there long enough.u201d I said, u201cwell itu2019s done and the doctoru2019s satisfied.u201d The technician insisted that he had to see it for himself and the doctor told him everything was already fixed.That was the beginning of dentistryu2019s first shock treatment.
The Results
Both VacuShock and VacuClear have received numerous awards.VacuShock (formerly known as Vac - k - ta Shocku201d) and VacuClear were recognized by a major non - profit foundation as a u201cPreferred Top Product.u201d These products also received the "Top Products" award from Dental Product Shopper , who evaluated them with a rating of 4.7 (out of 5).Most recently, both products have received an Edison award in 2017 as recognition of their innovation.
The VacuShock and VacuClear protocol proves the removal of vacuum line biofilm (u201csludgeu201d), prevents build - up, and keeps your vacuum flowing.Rather than spending hundreds on short - term fixes from plumbers or service techs, use shock treatments help keep your vacuum system running at peak performance and help you avoid clogs and the downtime they can cause.You will put an end to dental line suction loss in minutes !
