If your practice needs a new steriliser, it is vitally important for the smooth running of your practice to choose a steriliser that is reliable. We spoke to Jim Owen, Mocom Australia’s sales relationship manager about their new range of Gen3 sterilisers.
It might not be the most glamorous part of dentistry, but the efficiency of your steriliser has a huge impact on the entire dental practice.
With a focus on user-friendly features and increased reliability, the new range of Gen3 sterilisers from Mocom Australia ensures that you have a steriliser that will not let you down.
Mocom Australia’s sales relationship manager Jim Owen says the new range of sterilisers was launched on the East Coast in August. “We launched three new models – the Classic, the Futura and the Supreme,” Jim says. “The units feature a streamlined redesigned exterior and a host of advanced new features which set these models apart.”
Some features include:
Increased cycle speed: Jim says the Futura and the Supreme models both have a modular drying function that decreases the cycle speed for greater efficiency. “The average speed of a cycle will vary across different brands,” Jim explains. “For the Futura, it is about 42 minutes on a universal cycle, for a full load. This is now one of the quickest cycles available, which saves you time.”
Environmental efficiency: Imagine the money, time and space saved being able to use tap water in your steriliser? “The Futura has a built-in demineralising feature, and the Supreme offers a secondary recycling filter,” Jim explains. “This means that tap water can be used so you do not have to store bottles of demineralised water, and you are not having to buy or make demineralised water, which can be a long process.” Using the Supreme means, you get 50 Sterilisation cycles from 5 litres of tap water, saving you further.
User-friendly features: The Futura and Supreme also make onboarding easy, with in-built video tutorials – no more second guessing on how to use different functions or perform user maintenance procedures.
Reliable support: A steriliser should be serviced every 6-12 months and have a 12-monthly validation. STS Health are the service support for Mocom sterilisers, so you can be assured you have local support with a number of technicians available. “It is important to always use an authorised and trained Mocom service agent – and in Western Australia that is only STS Health,” Jim says.
A typical shelf life for a steriliser can be more than 10 years, so if your practice is looking for a new steriliser, it is important to choose one that is dependable.
“A practice has to sterilise instruments after every patient,” Jim says. “This is why you need something reliable to consistently sterilise and streamline the flow so the practice can continue to have patients coming in the door. The functionality of your steriliser is vital to the running of the practice.”
