DEAD ENDS™ Drain Tube (Waterline Cleaning Accessory)
Patent Pending by Anodia Systems.
MFR #: MAK-1919
Product Description:
DEAD ENDS™ Drain Tube is a dental waterline cleaning accessory that is performed at the beginning of Mint-A-Kleen’s 1st Step: Air purging the dental waterlines.
The Drain Tube is a clear tube with a male quick-connect on one end and an open tube on the other end designed to open ‘dead-ends’ such as the dental unit water quick-connect outlet (for the cavitron).
Dental units with water quick-connect outlets are called, dead-ends. A dead-end is a blocked water passage within the dental unit. Water does not continuously flow and is stopped by the quick-connect outlet, resulting in a reservoir for bacteria.
The Drain Tube provides a quick and easy answer for opening dead-ends.
Instructions:
- If you have a water quick-connect outlet on the dental unit, place the open end of the Drain Tube in the saliva ejector.
- Attach the male quick-connect to the female water connect outlet on the dental unit.
- Turn saliva ejector ON.
- Turn Dental Unit ON and pressurize dental water bottle.
- Remove the Drain Tube after dental water bottle is empty.
- This is the beginning step of Air Purging the dental unit.
- Continue completing Mint-A-Kleen’s 1 Step: Air Purging the waterlines: handpieces and 3-way syringes.
