Cleaning our dental instruments is one of the most essential elements of dental infection control. This process must be done in a safe and effective manner. One of the ways to safely clean the dental instruments is with the use of an ultrasonic cleaner.The use of the ultrasonic cleaner provides a safer method of cleaning the dental instruments since it is mechanical rather than the older method of scrubbing the instruments.
Of note is that the ultrasonic cleaner does need some additional labeling to be in full compliance with the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29CFR 1910.1200. This item needs to have a "secondary container" label as well as a hazard communication label to fully identify both the liquid contained in the cleaner and the warning to dental employees as to the potential hazard of placing their hands in the liquid unprotected.
These dental container specific labels can be obtained from dynamic dental safety by contacting us at blog@dynamicdentalsafety.com or (888) 669-8846 ext. 701
