Important Note: This collection container is NOT compatible with legacy Hg5 systems (pre-NXT models). For legacy systems, use HG5-002CR replacement containers. Ensure you have the correct replacement container on hand before removing the existing container from your system.
The EPA's Dental Effluent Guidelines (40 CFR Part 441), effective July 14, 2017 with a compliance date of July 14, 2020, require all dental practices that place or remove amalgam to install and maintain amalgam separators achieving at least 95% removal efficiency. The NXT Hg5 system, using this collection container, is certified to exceed this requirement with more than 99% separation rate.
Key EPA Requirements:
To maintain EPA compliance and ensure optimal performance, collection containers must be replaced according to specific guidelines:
Replace container when:
Why the 12-month maximum? After 12 months, the manufacturer cannot guarantee the 99% separation rate required for EPA compliance due to natural deterioration of the restrictor within the collection container. Regular replacement ensures continuous compliance and protects against system bypass.
Inspection Requirements: Visual inspection of the collection container should be conducted weekly to monitor sediment levels. The clear design of this container makes visual inspection quick and easy without opening the system.
This recycling kit simplifies compliance documentation through the included online access to the My Solutions Center portal, where you can:
The recycling certificate provided documents the name and address of the collection service, the amount by weight of dental amalgam waste collected, the date collected, and certification that mercury was destined for recycling at an EPA-approved facility - all required elements for regulatory compliance.
Essential for any general dental practice that places or removes amalgam fillings. The collection container ensures continuous EPA compliance while protecting vacuum equipment from amalgam buildup. Regular replacement maintains optimal separation efficiency and prevents costly system failures.
For practices with multiple operatories, the NXT Hg5 system with this collection container provides centralized amalgam waste management. Depending on patient volume and amalgam use, containers may need replacement more frequently than the 12-month maximum to prevent reaching capacity.
Educational institutions and large clinics benefit from the easy change-out procedure and comprehensive documentation system. The 24/7 online certificate access simplifies compliance reporting across multiple departments and satisfies institutional record-keeping requirements.
Practices with 11-20 operatories using the Hg5 High Volume system require two collection containers. The pre-paid recycling program included with each container makes managing multiple replacements cost-effective and administratively simple.
For practices facing POTW inspections or audits, the clear documentation and readily accessible certificates provided with this recycling kit demonstrate proactive compliance. The visual inspection log support helps maintain the monthly inspection records required by many local authorities.
Dental practices committed to environmental stewardship appreciate the complete mercury capture and recycling solution. The system prevents mercury from entering waterways, where it can convert to toxic methylmercury and accumulate in aquatic ecosystems.
Replacing the collection container is a simple, tool-free process that takes approximately 2 minutes:
Step 1: Preparation
Ensure you have the new replacement collection container on hand before removing the old container. Keep the original packaging for recycling the used container.
Step 2: Leave Suction On
Keep the vacuum system running during the replacement process to maintain proper system function.
Step 3: Remove Pins
While holding the collection container in place, remove the 2 pins that attach the container to the top chamber.
Step 4: Remove Container
Slowly pull down on the collection container to break the seal between the top and bottom container.
Step 5: Install New Container
Check that O-rings on the new collection container are properly seated. Align the new container with the receivers and push up to create a seal.
Step 6: Secure and Verify
Replace the 2 pins to secure the container. Verify proper seal by checking vacuum gauge readings. If vacuum is low, O-rings may not have sealed properly - remove and reinstall.
The included recycling kit makes disposal simple and compliant:
Pro Tip: Set up a subscription service through your dealer for automatic delivery of replacement containers based on your practice's typical usage schedule. This ensures you always have a replacement on hand when needed.
