About evacuation adapters and connectors
An evacuation adapter or connector is the piece that joins a suction tip to a hose or a unit that the tip does not fit directly. Suction cannulas come in different diameters: one splatter study compared a 6 mm saliva ejector, an 11 mm suction cannula and three types of 16 mm suction cannula.
A dental operative unit is an AC-powered device intended to supply power to and serve as a base for other dental devices, and the FDA’s description names an oral cavity evacuator and a suction operative unit among them (21 CFR 872.6640, Class I). A dental unit carries two evacuators attached to one vacuum source: a high-volume evacuator and a low-volume evacuator. In the FDA’s device list, the generic type for a vacuum-powered body fluid suction apparatus includes suction catheters and tips, connecting flexible aspirating tubes, rigid suction tips, specimen traps and noninvasive tubing (21 CFR 880.6740).
The CDC says the handles and dental unit attachments of saliva ejectors and high-speed air evacuators, which do not enter the mouth but are likely to become contaminated with oral fluids, should be covered with impervious barriers that are changed after each use. If such an item becomes visibly contaminated during use, it should be cleaned and disinfected with an EPA-registered hospital disinfectant at intermediate level before use on the next patient.
How the parts on this shelf differ
- Adapters & Connectors — The piece between a tip and a hose.
- Suction & Vacuum Parts — Replacement pieces of the suction line, not the part that enters the mouth.
- Hose & Tubing — The flexible line between the unit and the tip.
- Mouthpieces — The part that enters the mouth, changed between patients.
What to look at when choosing an evacuation part
Suction cannulas come in different diameters: one splatter study compared a 6 mm saliva ejector, an 11 mm suction cannula and three types of 16 mm suction cannula.
Cleaning: the CDC notes that cleaning or disinfecting certain noncritical patient-care items can be difficult or damage the surfaces, so disposable barrier protection of those surfaces might be a preferred alternative.
Where a practice discharges amalgam process wastewater to a public treatment works, the EPA rule says dental unit water lines, chair-side traps and vacuum lines must not be cleaned with oxidizing or acidic cleaners, including bleach, chlorine, iodine and peroxide, that have a pH lower than 6 or greater than 8.
