The Sterisil® System G5 utilizes six stages of purification to provide on-demand, purified and treated dental water for any dental practice. The G5 concept takes the existing silver-based antimicrobial technology and brings it into the future with integrated smart technology. It is the only system engineered with a Class A UV light capable of killing 99.99 percent of bacteria and viruses.* Equipped with a touchscreen, a PC app and a network of sensors, the G5 offers water quality monitoring and real-time diagnostics for optimized dental water treatment.
Interfacing with our dental water systems is the next evolution for waterline infection control. Having access to real-time water quality data allows any user to be an expert in dental water compliance. With built-in WiFi or a direct ethernet connection, water quality data and alarms are aggregated into one location via the PC app for efficient diagnostics and water quality control. In addition, centralized data aggregation and Next Step alert guidance eliminate costly technician visits for routine maintenance.
Continuous monitoring and recording of water quality protects dentists with a liability failsafe should the cleanliness of their water be brought into question. The improved diagnostics also allow users to efficiently track and maximize cartridge life resulting in costs savings over the lifespan of the system.
Some dentists may question the need to add the G5:
- “I’ve never had a problem with my waterlines.”
- Waterline issues may not always be visible to the naked eye. An HPC bacterial assessment performed by an impartial 3rd party lab will prove what we already know to be true: Not treating your lines leaves your patients and staff vulnerable to serious bacterial exposure.
- “That’s quite a bit more money than the other Sterisil Systems. Is there that much more to it comparatively?”
- The G5 expands on the previous water quality and notification platform well beyond the Sterisil® System G4’s capabilities. An assortment of sensors and integrated smart technology make the user experience easier and more intuitive than the previous G4 System. Add a Class A UV light for upgraded pathogen destruction and you have a powerful dental waterline disinfection system in a sleek, user-friendly package.
At a time when efficiency is a commodity in high demand, the G5 is poised to lead the way forward to a more user-friendly and efficient water treatment program.
