CATEGORY 96 AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST INFECTION CONTROL, STERILISERS AND STERILISER SOLUTIONS A full appointment book puts pressure on every part of a dental practice, including the sterilisation room. Instruments need to be ready when the team needs them, records need to be easy to manage, and equipment needs to keep pace. Mocom’s latest GEN3 range has been developed with those everyday demands in mind, with input from the Australian team that supports it. For Jim Owen, Mocom Australia’s NSWbased relationship manager, that practical focus comes from 25 years dedicated to infection control across the Australian and New Zealand health sector. Headquartered in Western Australia, the family-run business has built close relationships with dental practices and a clear understanding of what they need from their sterilisers. “We’re a close-knit, family-run business dedicated entirely to reprocessing and infection control,” says Jim. When Mocom Italy began developing the new generation, the Australian team was invited to Europe to help shape its design around the needs of Australian dental practices. They brought firsthand knowledge of how local teams use their sterilisers every day, helping prioritise faster turnaround times and the reliability needed to handle frequent cycles. Faster cycles that help the day flow The Mocom GEN3 range includes Classic, Futura and Supreme models, with three chamber sizes available. According to Jim, the new models deliver cycle times around 12% faster, using modular drying technology alongside other efficiency improvements. The estimated saving can approach an hour a day in a busy practice, depending on how the unit is used. Those minutes matter when Mocom sterilisers built for busy dental practices instruments are moving between appointments. Faster turnaround helps the team keep pace, while simple controls and easy access to cycle information make day-to-day operation and record keeping straightforward. Less time spent managing records The range also brings a practical approach to documentation. Jim says the units can store up to 10,000 cycle reports, with records available as PDFs or transferred through free software directly to a PC folder. Connectivity features, including cloud access and remote control, help practices manage their sterilisation records and equipment. Programmable start times allow selected tasks to begin before the team arrives, including the daily vacuum and air removal and steam penetration (previously Helix) tests. It is a useful feature for practices looking to get their morning routine underway earlier. Features that fit the practice The mid-tier Futura, which Jim describes as the most popular model, combines a streamlined design with a 5-inch colour touchscreen and on-screen tutorials. An optional included integrated demineralising filter allows connection to mains water without an external water treatment device, while easy access for cleaning helps simplify routine care. At the top of the range, the Supreme is able to recycle and demineralise its own water. Mocom states that it can complete 50 sterilisation cycles using just five litres of mains water. Its 7-inch touchscreen offers tablet-style operation, alongside an LED activity display, NFC availability and controls for customising cycles. Support when the practice needs it For Jim, the people and support behind the equipment are central to the Mocom GEN3 range. Technical specialists, service and ongoing support give practices somewhere to turn when they need help. “Reliability is vitally important, we know that,” he says. “We are always there.” For a busy dental team, that combination of practical features and accessible support is what makes a steriliser a dependable part of the working day. u Mocom sterilisers and accessories are available through distributors across Australia and New Zealand.
