  • Publication number: 20220401196
    Abstract: An oral irrigator delivers a flow rate as a series of pulses, each pulse having an amplitude which increases progressively over at least the majority of the time duration of the pulse. Each pulse is intended for the cleaning of a single interdental space.

  • Publication number: 20220211474
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for automatically resetting pause control on an oral irrigator. The methods use a resilient device which stores potential energy when the oral irrigator is turned on or the pause control feature is turned off. The stored potential energy is then released and switches the pause control feature on when the oral irrigator is turned off or placed on its stand. The pause control assembly includes a slider coupled to the valve, where the slider has a first protrusion; a return which makes contact with a first protrusion of the slider; and a stopper, which in the closed position prevents the return from moving. The automatic pause control reset can also include a pressure plate and a pressure chamber which respond to a change in fluid pressure to permit the opening of a pause control valve.

  • Publication number: 20220175502
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for electronic control of an operating level of an oral irrigator, particularly when flow from the oral irrigator is paused. Methods for controlling an operational level include: determining an operational level of the oral irrigator, including whether the operational level is a standby mode; receiving sensor data from one or more sensors; determining whether a key sensor indicator is above, below, or at a threshold. If the key sensor indicator is above a threshold, the operational level is changed to standby mode. If the key sensor indicator is at or below the threshold, the operational level remains at the current level. If the key sensor indicator is below the threshold, and the current operational level is the standby mode, the operational level is changed to the operational level set before entering standby mode.
