At Mission Creek Family Dentistry, the safety of our patients and staff is our greatest priority. To ensure a safe environment, we have gone beyond the essential infection control protocols and have implemented the latest technologies known to fight the spread of the COVID-19 disease. One among them is Medical HEPA filters, including the Medify air MA-25 we use at our dental office.
As we know, especially during this pandemic, it is advised to operate air purifiers in confined spaces to prevent the transmission of viruses.
What is a HEPA filter and how does it work?
HEPA filter or high-efficiency particulate air helps remove small, vexatious, and toxic particles from the air. The filter sucks in the air around it and forces it through a fine mesh. The mesh thus catches tiny particles in the air - dust, pollen, mold, tobacco smoke, micro-organisms, and bacteria. The filter releases the newly cleaned air while the filter captures the harmful substances till it is eliminated and reinstated with a clean filter.
Medify air MA-25
Mission Creek Family Dentistry has invested in the best HEPA available in the town. We use the MA-25 models, which can clean our treatment rooms and other rooms in our office. Besides what HEPA machines can filter, MA-25 models are proven to be beneficial in filtering particles like pesticides, tobacco smoke, asbestos, carbon dust, viruses, paint pigment, carbon dust, and all types of bacteria. We have been following strict cleaning of the air of each of our procedure rooms and other waiting areas for 15 minutes before a patient enters the room. This ensures that every time one patient enters our treatment room, the air would have been Triple-Washed by the filter that captures every micro-organism, including coronavirus, to ensure maximum protection and safety for our patients. Besides, the MA-25 machine also identifies the possible signs of air contamination and speeds up the fan automatically to improve air quality.
Mission Creek Family Dentistry has always tried to meet and exceed the sanitation and purification standards set by the American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We always follow all the possible measures and infection control protocols to ensure that we maintain a clean, germ-free atmosphere for our patients.
