Clean instruments and sterile equipment are a matter of course in a professional dental practice. W&H has announced the launch of its new eLog and a Helix test to provide users with the correct and safe functioning of steam sterilisers.
With the new eLog from W&H, routine tests and recording of sterilisation cycles can now be automatically saved in a digital logbook which aims to ensure that documentation requirements can always be met. Dental practices must retain records of sterilisation cycles and routine tests for an extended period, varying based on country-specific and legal requirements.
Not only does this simplify record-keeping, but it also saves time, paper, and contributes to environmental conservation. The eLog system features an intuitive and user-friendly interface that makes it easy for dental professionals to find their way around and seamlessly integrate digital data recording into their daily routines. Users have the option of storing the data safely on the ioDent platform or locally via the W&H Steri App. The digital logbook is available on a PC or smart device and is audit-proof.
Furthermore, W&H is introducing a new Helix test to enable optimum process control for type B sterilisers. The test acts as a hollow body which, due to its physical shape, simulates the most difficult requirements for the sterilisation of hollow body instruments.
“The QR code on the test strips enables full traceability and full integration with eLog, our unique feature that digitises and simplifies sterilisation logbooks. With just a few simple steps, the result of the Helix test can be seamlessly and effortlessly saved in the new eLog system,” said Simone Facagni, W&H product manager.
