How often must the HVE be properly maintained to ensure it functions correctly?

The High-Volume Evacuation (HVE) systems are crucial in maintaining a clean and safe environment during dental procedures by effectively removing fluids, debris, and aerosols. Proper maintenance of the HVE is essential to ensure it operates efficiently and provides the necessary suction power required during treatments. Daily maintenance is key because it involves checking the system for blockages, leaks, and ensuring that all components are functioning properly. Regular daily checks help to prevent malfunctions and ensure that patients receive optimal care without interruptions. This proactive approach to maintenance minimizes the risk of cross-contamination and ensures compliance with infection control protocols. Therefore, conducting maintenance daily is essential for the effectiveness and reliability of the HVE system.
