5.7.4

Biofilm removal by the service technician

If the microbiological test of the water from the dental treatment unit does
not correspond with the hygiene requirements in spite of regular
sanitization of the water lines and/or regular purge/autopurge cycles, the
biofilm must be removed using special chemicals.
Biofilm removal should be performed if the bacterial count is significantly
above 100 colony forming units per mililiter.
Biofilm removal may only be done by a trained service technician. In this
case, please contact your dental depot.
Before initiating biofilm removal it must be ensured that the reason for the
raised bacterial count is not due to inflowing water.
