No, the TBH filter and extraction systems are not medical devices according to § 3 para. 1 MPG, (German Medical Products Law, as they do not come into direct contact with patients and are primarily used for occupational safety. They do not meet the criteria for medical approval according to DIN EN 60601-1. However, they can be tested according to DIN EN 62353 (VDE 0751-1) to meet the increased safety requirements in the medical field.
No, clearance is not required because the systems are designed, and the extraction arm is positioned so that they do not directly touch the patient during extraction and application.
TBH Health Basic and TBH Health Pro have many features in common, such as similar air flow rates up to 200m³/h, identical dimensions, and identical filter types, including the patented InLine filter.
The main difference between the two units is the type of motor and the static pressure. The TBH Health Basic has a brush motor with a guaranteed lifetime of 600 operating hours and an average lifetime of approximately 600-800 hours. Although it is technically possible to change only the brushes, this can shorten the life of the motor, as the commutator is often also damaged, resulting in faster wear of the brushes. The TBH Health Basic offers a higher static pressure of 14,000 Pa, but this is irrelevant for extraction arm applications.
Due to the limited motor life and maintenance requirements, we recommend the TBH Health Basic for applications where the operating time is between 5 and 20 minutes per day. The TBH Health Pro for applications where the operating time exceeds 20 minutes per day.
The TBH Health Pro and TBH Health Pro Silence are similar in technology and application, have similar airflow rates (max. 200m³/h or max. 300m³/h) due to the same motor technology and are maintenance free due to the brushless motor and drive system. The lifetime of the motor is approximately 20,000h – 40,000h and we give a warranty of 10,000h. Both systems are equipped with the patented InLine filter and are recommended for applications where the operating time is more than 20 minutes per day. However, there are significant differences: The TBH Health Pro is more compact, has a smaller filter area and a higher noise level (62 dB). The system uses a compact 2-stage filter (HEPA particle filter H13 + activated carbon). The TBH Health Pro Silence, on the other hand, requires slightly more space, but offers a larger filter area and a lower noise level (53 dB). It allows the HEPA filter H14 and the activated carbon filter to be replaced separately, resulting in lower filter replacement costs.
Changing the main filters in the TBH Health System is easy and does not require any special knowledge or tools. All you have to do is open the cover of the system, remove the old filters and insert the new ones. A detailed video tutorial can be found at Medical & Aesthetic Systems – TBH GmbH Extraction Systems: Medical & Aesthetic systems – TBH GmbH extraction systems
The assembly is very simple and does not require any special knowledge. Just watch our video tutorial at the link below: Medical & Aesthetic systems – TBH GmbH extraction systems
The extraction arm can be precisely positioned by turning the screws. Overstretching the extraction arm should be avoided as this can cause the system to tilt. See our video tutorial at the link below: Medical & Aesthetic systems – TBH GmbH extraction systems
The TBH Hygiene Concept was developed specifically for TBH medical and aesthetic applications to ensure cleanliness and protection against infection. It has been tested by the independent, accredited test laboratory CleanControlling Medical GmbH & Co. KG in Emmingen-Liptingen, Germany.
To implement the TBH hygiene concept, we recommend the following steps:
- Change the main HEPA filter in the system every six months.
- Clean the extraction hood by wiping with disinfectant wipes and clean the protective grille in the thermal washer-disinfector.
- Remove the InLine filter and replace with a new InLine filter. Securely place the used InLine filter in a sealed, tear-proof bag for disposal.
The TBH Health Pro is more compact and louder (62 dB), ideal for limited space and less continuous operation. The TBH Health Pro Silence requires more space, is quieter (53 dB) and has lower cost of ownership due to separately replaceable filters. It is better suited for continuous operation and noise sensitive environments. Both are designed for use for more than 20 minutes per day.
The TBH Health Series main filters are monitored by a differential pressure sensor that indicates when they are saturated. If saturation is not indicated within one year, it is necessary to change the HEPA particulate filters for sanitary reasons. The activated carbon filter, which is not monitored by a differential pressure sensor, should be changed at least every 6-12 months or when odors develop. According to the TBH hygiene concept, the InLine filter, which is also not monitored by a sensor, should be changed daily or weekly at the latest to prevent the transfer of bacteria and germs.
The system requires minimal maintenance. Other than regular filter changes and cleaning, the system is virtually maintenance free. The surfaces and the extraction arm should be cleaned regularly by wiping with disinfectant, see the step-by-step video instructions at: Medical & Aesthetic systems – TBH GmbH extraction systems
In addition, the adjustment screws should be tightened weekly to prevent possible sinking of the extraction arm. For more information, please refer to the equipment catalogs and operating and maintenance manuals.
The patented InLine filter is an innovation designed specifically for medical and aesthetic applications. Attached directly to the hood, the InLine filter captures particles, germs and bacteria at the point of origin. Thanks to the „1-click system“, it can be changed in about 5 seconds. The hood itself is easy to disassemble and clean. The InLine filter is located at the tip. This prevents the extraction arm from becoming dirty, where bacteria and germs can multiply and significantly reduces the amount of cleaning required for the system. In addition, the InLine filter prevents particles and possibly fluid from falling out of the suction arm, thus preventing the transfer of germs between patients. This protects the system’s main filter and significantly extends filter life.
The extraction tip is smaller in diameter, the view is less obstructed. However, it is not the first choice for hygienic reasons, as it does not protect the extraction arm from contamination and germ formation, and it puts more stress on the main filter. If the standard hood interferes with positioning on the patient, it can be easily removed by loosening the 4 screws. The function of the InLine filter is not affected.
The TBH main filters in the system are easy to change, no special knowledge or tools are required. Simply open the system’s cover, remove the filters and install the new ones. Click here for detailed video instructions: Medical & Aesthetic systems – TBH GmbH extraction systems
Depending on the application and the hygiene regulations in your treatment room, it may be necessary to create a hygiene concept that takes the filter and extraction system into account.
Regarding the system, the following points are important and should be evaluated individually:
– Recommendation: Cleaning after each treatment /// Minimum standard: Cleaning per working day.
o Wipe disinfection of hood and extraction arm (external)
o Change of InLine filter
– Recommendation: Cleaning weekly /// Minimum Standard: Cleaning monthly
o Disassembly and cleaning of extraction arm
o External cleaning of the unit
– Recommendation: Semi-annual maintenance /// Minimum Standard: Annual maintenance
o Perform electrical safety test according to DGUV 3
o Change main filter and activated carbon filter
The InLine filter prevents contamination of the extraction arm due to its position at the tip, which reduces the adhesion of particles and the growth of germs and bacteria. This significantly reduces the effort required to clean the system. The InLine filter eliminates the need for a daily time-consuming disassembly and cleaning of the extraction arm, saving labor time while maintaining hygiene. Clean the extraction arm at least monthly, we recommend it weekly.
– In addition, the InLine filter prevents particles and liquids from falling out of the extraction arm, preventing cross-contamination between patients.
– The InLine filter also protects the system’s main filter, significantly extending its life.
– The system’s suction power creates a complete air exchange in the treatment room several times per hour, resulting in significantly less airborne germs and bacteria.
– The optimal cleaning performance was verified by the independent, accredited test laboratory CleanControlling Medical GmbH & Co. KG in Emmingen-Liptingen, Germany.
