Required Operation & Maintenance Records

Each dentist must demonstrate proper operation and maintenance by maintaining all shipping records for replacement filters sent to recyclers, and written documentation that demonstrates that the system has been properly inspected and maintained.

This translates to the dental facility maintaining a record containing the following information.

Copies of all transportation receipts for shipping filters to a recycling facility in accordance with your written contract.

Copy of the written contract with the recycling facility, whether it’s between the dental facility or between the amalgam separator company and the recycling facility.

Inspection sheet which is filled out by the person that periodically inspects the amalgam separator to ensure that it is working properly. Form should be signed and dated each time inspection is conducted.

Copy of DEP installation certificate.
