Preventive maintenance checklist for dental equipment

The amount of work required for the routine cleaning and maintenance of your dental office may seem overwhelming.

By developing an equipment maintenance checklist, you will have an overview of the tasks, divided up into their proper categories and be able to assign specific tasks and duties to your dental team, according to regular time slots.

Dental Equipment Maintenance – DAILY TASKS

Clean handpieces and syringes: This should be done before any other task in order to avoid cross-contamination issues later on.

Inspect the water supply and ensure it is adequate and clean Ensure that all parts of the machine have been thoroughly cleaned prior to use.

Check for leaks around the unit and make sure there’s no debris lodged inside.

Also check for signs of corrosion, which can indicate potential problems down the road.
It may also be helpful to add some distilled water to help prevent mineral build-up.

Top up the ultrasonic cleaning tank Make sure you are using a sterile container when topping off your ultrasonic.

If it looks dirty, change out the filter cartridge.

Sanitise all equipment and surfaces Use a sanitiser solution such as hydrogen peroxide or alcohol wipes to wipe down all of your instruments and supplies before you use them again.

Check the steriliser levels before switching them on: The level in the reservoir that holds the sterile water for cleaning is important because if there isn’t enough, then not only will bacteria grow, but so will mould!

Make sure all waste containers are empty and clean.

Make sure you have a place to dispose of used needles and other medical equipment safely.
It’s best to use sharps disposal boxes or bins provided specifically for this purpose.

These should be emptied regularly as well as cleaned thoroughly.

Switch on the air compressor systems and master water valve.

If your practice has centralised compressed air, make sure it is switched on before starting any work.
