How often do dental flowmeters need to be calibrated in Los Angeles, CA?

Dental nitrous oxide flowmeters should be calibrated according to the manufacturer's recommendations, which is typically every one to two years. Medical Testing Solutions provides a certificate of NIST-traceable calibration to help you meet these requirements and ensure compliance with standards like NFPA 99.

What is NIST-traceable calibration for a nitrous oxide flowmeter?

NIST-traceable calibration means the calibration was performed using equipment that has been benchmarked against standards maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This ensures the highest level of accuracy and is a best practice for medical and dental gas equipment.

How much does dental flowmeter calibration cost in Los Angeles?

MTS offers NIST-traceable flowmeter calibration for dental offices in the Los Angeles area for a flat rate of $450 per unit. This includes a fast 5-day turnaround time and a detailed calibration certificate for your records.

Can I use my dental flowmeter while it is out for calibration?

No, the flowmeter unit must be removed from service and sent to our calibration facility. We recommend scheduling calibration during planned office downtime or having a backup unit available to avoid disrupting patient care. Our 5-day turnaround minimizes this disruption.

What brands of dental flowmeters do you calibrate?

We calibrate all major brands of dental nitrous oxide flowmeters, including Porter, Belmed, Accutron, and Matrx. Our ASSE-certified technicians have the expertise and equipment to service these and other common units found in dental practices.
