Comprehensive Air Quality Solutions for Dental Practices
Maintaining optimal air quality in dental offices requires a multifaceted approach:
1. Source Control with Extraoral Suction:
High-speed drills and ultrasonic scaling equipment generate harmful aerosols that can remain airborne for hours. Extraoral suction captures these aerosols at the source, reducing the spread of airborne pathogens.
2. Effective Ventilation:
Proper HVAC filtration or natural ventilation systems help to dilute and remove airborne contaminants, ensuring a steady supply of clean air.
3. Advanced Air Cleaning:
NanoMax filtration technology and IQAir’s extraoral suction air purification systems offer maximum protection against aerosol particles, mercury vapor, bacteria, and viruses.
By combining these strategies, dental practices can achieve a cleaner, safer environment for both patients and staff.
IQAir extraoral suction air purification systems provide a line of defense against harmful airborne pathogens and infectious material that can threaten the health and safety of patients and staff. When combined with intraoral suction, IQAir extraoral suction air purifiers right at the source can reduce aerosol levels, bacterial colonies, and airborne viral particles from dental procedures to almost zero:
IQAir provides extraoral suction with the HealthPro Plus combined with FlexVac and the Dental Hg combined with the FlexVac.
The FlexVax is 92% efficient when placed within 12 inches of the patients mouth.
Effective Ventilation with HVAC: NanoMax Filtration
Commercial HVAC provides mechanical ventilation. NanoMax filtration provides HyperHEPA filtration with ultra-low pressure drop. If your HVAC system is compatible with MERV 8 pressure, NanoMax filtration can fit seamlessly in your HVAC filter rack(s).
Air cleaning and recirculation: ensuring continuous cleanair
IQAir's HealthPro Plus air purifiers provide powerful recirculation to maintain clean air in dental practices. This continuous air cleaning process is crucial for reducing exposure to airborne contaminants that can linger in waiting rooms and common areas, protecting the health and safety of patients and staff.
Effective Air Cleaning: The HealthPro Plus captures particles down to 0.003 microns, including bacteria and viruses, ensuring that air in common areas is continuously purified.
Comprehensive Coverage: Each HealthPro Plus unit covers areas up to 1,150 sq. ft., making it ideal for dental practices of various sizes and ensuring a healthier environment throughout the facility.
Harness the power of HealthPro Plus air purifiers to significantly reduce airborne contaminants, creating a safer and healthier dental environment for everyone.
100x more filtration for infection control
Fine particles are smaller than 0.1 microns, make up about 90% of all airborne particles, and have been linked to heart attacks, strokes, asthma, respiratory disease, and even cancer. HyperHEPA filtration in the Dental Series filters 95% of all particles down to 0.003 microns – the smallest particles that exist, including viruses and bacteria.
Ultrafine particles are smaller than 0.1 microns, make up about 90% of all airborne particles, and have been linked to heart attacks, strokes, asthma, and even cancer. HyperHEPA filtration in the Dental Series filters 95% of all particles down to 0.003 microns – the smallest particles that exist.
Filtration of viruses of all sizes
Viruses and other contaminants can quickly spread through the air in a dental office. Drilling and other procedures can increase the presence of airborne viruses, including viral hepatitis (as small as 0.05 microns in diameter). HyperHEPA filtration filters up to 99.5% of even these tiniest of viruses and other contaminants.
Certified at the factory
Every Dental Series system is hand-tested with electronic laser particle counters before it is shipped to ensure that the particle filtration efficiency and airflow of each system meet published specifications, and results are detailed in a hand-signed Certificate of Performance shipped with every Dental Series system.
Up to 5 stages of filtration
Air passes through a HyperHEPA H11 (EN 1822) pre-filter that traps 95% of all particles in the air.
Air is powerfully moved through granular impregnated alumina, activated carbon, and impregnated activated carbon to filter a full range of gases, chemicals, and odors. In the Dental Hg, 11 pounds of granular impregnated activated carbon provide mercury filtration.
Both models feature a set of fine-dust post-filtration sleeves with electrostatically charged microfibers that trap any remaining contaminants to achieve 99% total system efficiency at 0.3 microns and 95% efficiency at 0.003 microns.
Exceptionally porous, activated bituminous-coal carbon in gas-phase filtration cartridges blended with chemisorbers that filter volatile organic compounds in the air, including formaldehyde help protect against gases, odors, and chemicals, along with pelletized aluminum oxide impregnated with potassium permanganate.
Swiss quality
Swiss Made is more than just a label of origin. It is a sign of outstanding quality, uniqueness, superior design, innovation, precision and reliability. We test and certify each and every IQAir air purification system and manufacture our air purifiers at our state-of-the-art Swiss production facility on the pristine shores of Lake Constance. By using the highest quality components, a dedicated team of highly skilled and extensively trained specialists, and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes refined for more than 50 years, IQAir builds the finest air purifiers in the world.
AirVisual Indoor & Outdoor Monitor Bundle
This bundle allows you to measure and compare indoor and outdoor air quality in real-time, ensuring your indoor environment is always clean and safe. Both sensors report to the IQAir AirVisual app, providing immediate insights, helping you take action to improve air quality, and effectively communicating air quality status to patients and staff. Ideal for dental practices, this bundle is perfect for maintaining a healthy indoor environment.
Today, facilities should be more than comfortable and attractive. They should also be healthy – providing clean air to occupants. The IQAir Clean Air Facility program helps you achieve clean air throughout your facility.
IQAir's specialists verify that your dental site achieves over 90% reduction in particulate matter, and a demand-based filter replacement schedule ensures optimal performance.
