All-in-one and all-round protection with cleaning, lubricating
and sterilizing dental instruments

bination device with a sterilization
function, Dentsply Sirona is addressing the needs of dentists whose markets require the sterilization process
of unwrapped medical devices,” says
Michael Geil, Group Vice President
Equipment and Instruments, Dentsply Sirona. “With the success of the
DAC Universal over the past decades,
we are now completing our portfolio
in the infection control/instrument
reprocessing sector with the DAC
Universal S and the now available
sterilization function. This enables
our now complete DAC family to
meet all requirements worldwide.
It is our commitment to guarantee
and uphold safety and infection
control in the dental practice and
in accordance to legal and technical
standards across different countries.
I am extremely proud that we stay
true to this promise with the DAC
family, most especially during these
times when infection control is an
indispensable requirement.”
An effective practice reprocessing
workflow for infection prevention
in dentistry is a top priority worldwide. Hygiene systems with a clear
and effective workflow are essential
to guarantee a high level of safety for
patients and practice teams. As the
world’s largest manufacturer of dental products and technologies, Dentsply Sirona offers solutions for the
entire infection control workflow in
dental practices and clinics that are
designed to meet the different needs
of each country. With the new sterilization function, the DAC Universal
S completes the DAC Universal product portfolio.
Dentsply Sirona launched its new
DAC Universal with a modern look
and numerous changes based on the
needs of the customers, e.g. TouchDisplay, LAN interface, guided Check
& Clean last year. This year the new
DAC Universal S is ready to take
things even further. The beneficial
features of the DAC Universal are
continued in the DAC Universal S
and now supplemented with a complete sterilization function – especially for markets that require sterilization instead of a disinfection of
unwrapped medical devices.
Comply with hygiene regulations by simply pressing a
button
With two programs to choose from
the automatic program selection
of the DAC Universal S continues to
provide maximum process reliability: The Pink Lid Program is specially
designed for rotating instruments
such as turbines, straight and contraangle handpieces. The reprocessing
process starts with a cold pre-wash.
After an internal cleaning of the
spray and gear channels a fully automatic lubrication follows. External cleaning with the pulse-wash
method removes dirt and deposits

from the outer surfaces of the instruments. The cleaning performance
is excellent the results far exceed
the standard values (80% better) required by the Robert Koch-Institute.
Finally, instruments are sterilized at
134°C with three minutes holding
time, and then cooled with cold air.
The second program, the White Lid
Program, is used for instruments
that do not require lubrication: e.g.
ultrasonic handpieces and tips or
nozzles of multifunctional syringes
and powder jet devices as well as
powder jet handpieces. The cleaning
steps are almost identical to the Pink
Lid Program, but with lubrication
step removed. The DAC Universal S
uses only demineralized water for
all cleaning and sterilization steps,
and does not require chemical cleaning agents, therefore preserving the
lifespan of instruments. The guided
maintenance workflow Check &
Clean and the LAN interface for electronic documentation systems are
also integrated into the DAC Universal S.
The complete process takes approximately 21 minutes for each program
–a fully compliant hygiene cycle
with just a press of a single button.
“For me the DAC Universal S is the
best solution on the market today
for fast reprocessing of contra angles
and turbines. Information given by
the display is easy to understand
as well as cycle time remaining”,
explains Dental assistant Jane Mikkelsen, Hinnerup, Denmark. “The
cleaning performance is very good
and the sterilization function of the
DAC Universal S fulfils our needs
required in the sterilization process
of unwrapped medical devices. A
huge upgrade to the previous DAC
Universal regarding total reprocessing time as the instruments are now
cooled. The design of the lids of the
new DAC Universal are excellent
as risk of burns when touching are
minimized.”
