About air-water syringe tips
An air or water syringe unit is one of the devices the dental operative unit supplies power to and serves as a base for; the FDA lists that unit and its accessories as Class I (21 CFR 872.6640). The tip is the part that goes in the mouth, and the CDC counts air and water syringe tips among the semicritical devices attached to the air or waterlines of the dental unit that touch mucous membranes. Semicritical means the item touches mucous membranes or nonintact skin and carries a lower risk of transmission than an item that penetrates tissue.
The CDC defines a single-use or disposable device as one designed to be used on one patient and then discarded, not reprocessed for use on another patient. It names air/water syringe tips among the items commonly available in a disposable form, to be disposed of appropriately after each use. It also says to clean and heat-sterilize handpieces and other intraoral instruments that can be removed from the air and waterlines of dental units between patients.
What to look at when choosing air-water syringe tips
Single use or reprocessed: one study compared the bacterial contamination of non-disposable tips after routine use and sterilization with that of single-use disposable tips. It concluded that sterilization of non-disposable air/water syringes is not completely effective, and that rinsing or the number of uses does not change that. The same study reported there may be a lower risk of cross-infection from using disposable tips instead of non-disposable ones.
The handle underneath: the CDC says the handles and dental unit attachments of air/water syringes should be covered with impervious barriers that are changed after each use.
After each patient: the CDC says to discharge water and air for a minimum of 20 to 30 seconds from any device connected to the dental water system that enters the mouth, air/water syringes among them.
What the syringe throws off: the CDC notes that air-water syringes create a visible spray of water, saliva, blood, microorganisms and other debris that settles out quickly on nearby surfaces, staff or the patient.
