WHE
By adding hydrogen peroxide to the mains water that feeds the dental unit, the WHE system ensures a continuous bacteriostatic effect in the water lines. This significantly reduces the bacterial count over time and thus better safeguards the water’s microbiological qualities.
Dental units also equipped with the automatic BIOSTER system ensure maximum microbiological effectiveness: the WHE, in fact, avoids bacterial proliferation in the machine water lines so that the BIOSTER can perform at the highest possible level.
Anthos advises dental surgeries to opt for the combined use of these devices in order to obtain excellent conditions with regard to hygiene in all circumstances.
In addition to carrying out continuous bacteriostasis of the water in the tubing, the WHE system performs an equally important secondary function as it also has an EN 1717-compliant Type A inlet air gap separation device to prevent contamination of mains water. This goal is also achieved through conscientious design of all other water circuit components on Anthos dental units and careful selection of materials, certified as being chemically compatible as per the strict standards defined by German law and certified by DVGW. It is also possible to install the WHE and use it exclusively for mains water contamination protection without filling the H2O2 tank.
At a concentration of 600 ppm, Peroxy Ag+ reduces bacterial concentration by 5 logarithms after 40 minutes of contact. This means a major long-term drop in any bacterial count in the tubing.
