Dental Flowmeter Repairs and Parts

A dental flowmeter is a device that allows dentists and other healthcare professionals to safely administer Nitrous Oxide to a patient during procedures. The mobile dental flowmeters manufactured by Accutron Inc, Belmed, Inc. and Porter are increasingly becoming more popular within family, and oral surgical dental facilities around the country. Dental flowmeter units require routine maintenance to support reliable and safe administration to the patients, without compromising employee health.

Dental workers are at risk of being exposed to Nitrous Oxide during the administration of this anesthetic gas to patients. Exposures should be minimized to prevent short-term behavioral and long-term reproductive health effects that can be produced by nitrous oxide. Leaks and user error, are among two of the most common causes for employee and patient risk when administering nitrous through a dental anesthesia flowmeter.

Dental Flowmeter Calibration

A dental flowmeter is a device that allows dentists and other healthcare professionals to safely administer nitrous oxide to patients during procedures.

Nitrous oxide is a colorless gas stored as a liquid. Breathing nitrous oxide can cause dizziness unconsciousness and even death. Workers may be harmed from excessive exposure the nitrous oxide. Long-term exposure to nitrous oxide can lead to infertility in both men and women.

NIOSH and the CDC recommend that businesses administering anesthetic gas should utilize preventative maintenance programs to ensure proper use and function of nitrous oxide equipment throughout healthcare facilities worldwide.

At Medical Testing Solutions, we offer a complete dental flowmeter calibration service. Our service follows in strict compliance with all ADA and manufacture guidelines for maintaining dental flowmeter units.

Services include:
