Adec has long been a leader in the dental business. They have a history of producing really innovative solutions to problems in the business, and that is one of the reasons they have been a successful company for such a long time.
Recently, Adec has launched the ICV. The ICV is an automated vacuum line cleaning system that minimizes the hassle of properly cleaning your vacuum lines. Until recently, the best solution on the market was a little pail with fittings for your vacuum tools. Fill the pail with a mixture of chemical and water, and then place it on the floor of the operatory, suck up the solution, and repeat for every room. For small practices it wasn’t too inconvenient, but for large offices it got to be quite labor intensive.
The ICV changes that. Mounted to a cupboard, either inside a module of its own, or simply cut into a door and mounted there, the Adec ICV automates this process. Containing a timer, and a solution reservoir, the process for cleaning your suction lines couldn’t be easier. Simply plug the saliva ejector and HVE onto the appropriate nipple, push the ‘Start’ button, and walk away. After running for two minutes, the ICV turns off. Remove the vacuum tools and put them back into their hangers.

The process can be run in one operatory by the assistant between patients, or by one person in every operatory at the end of the day.
While those purchasing new Adec cabinets can choose to have the ICV built into the cabinet, Adec cabinets are not a requirement for use of this product. In fact, no matter what style of cabinetry you have in your practice, as long as you have a space 7†x 20†x 21†available to you, the ICV can be incorporated easily. If you have a service technician who also has some woodworking skills the job can be done right in your office, although many technicians will prefer to remove the doors and have the holes professionally cut.
