154: Knock, Knock - Who's There - The FDA : Tim Torbenson and Evo820

So you get a letter from the FDA stating that they will be in your lab in a few weeks to inspect your operations for a certain restoration you are fabricating. What do you do? Panic? Leave town? Put your model room in charge and say good luck? Tim Torbenson has been dealing with the FDA and the dental industry for years and that's why he started Evo820 to help labs be compliant with the new rules. Tim comes on the podcast to talk about the history of the FDA looking at dental labs, why it is changing, and what you can do to prepare yourself for when they do come. We have a lot of fun during this conversation about a very serious topic.

Just a few weeks away until the first dental laboratory conference of 2021 kicks off. The Dental Laboratory Conference of Texas (DLAT) is having an in-person meeting March 26 & 27 in Grapevine, Texas. Register today! Voices From the Bench will be recording REMOTELY from the Argen booth "Live, not Live". Go to the Argen booth, sit down at the computer and microphone, and we can talk all about the dental laboratory industry.

Whip Mix’s new Veriwash resin cleaning station is the ideal piece of equipment to use in the 3D printed resin post process. It’s oscillating, multi-speed stirrer produces a tornado-like vortex every 30-seconds, and guarantees efficient, effective and powerful cleaning whether the units are individual or still attached to the build plate. The two alcohol baths make an effective step-wash system. It cleans more efficiently and there is less alcohol needed, since it is re-used for both a fresh bath and a dirty bath. The VeriWash’s intelligent design offers features such as Mode, Time, and Start/Stop button display which gives the operator full and automatic control of the cleaning process. A mesh basket used in the wash container makes it easy to keep track of small printed parts when cleaning. The affordable unit’s one-year warranty ensures peace-of-mind for the owner. Visit whipmix.com or call (800) 626-5651 for more information about this great new product.
