Instructions for Use

  1. Perform hand hygiene and wear disposable treatment gloves
  2. Flush waterlines for a minimum of 10 seconds
  3. Open pouch and lay pipette, vial, and test strip on a clean, flat surface
  4. Using a permanent marker, label vial with sample location and date

5. Collect water sample from the handpiece in a clean cup*

*Sample can be collected from each waterline in a multi-source sample so long as those lines originate from the same water source.

  1. Using the pipette, draw water from the collection cup
  2. Place 5 (FIVE) drops of water into the vial. DO NOT FILL TO LINE.

8. Gently swirl the vial to mix reagent in the vial with the water

NOTE: the vial is pre-coated with a reagent (pink in color)

  1. Place on a flat surface and set timer for 5 (FIVE) minutes
  2. Gently swirl the vial again and ensure reagent is dissolved
  1. Place the test strip in the vial with the ARROWS FACING DOWN ⬇️
  2. Leave test strip in the vial and wait 10 (TEN) minutes
  1. Read results and document results for each operatory in My Solutions Center customer portal for important record keeping as recommended by CDC, ADA, OSHA, and OSAP.
  2. 1 Line = PASS = below 500 CFU/mL
  3. 2 Lines = FAIL = 500 CFU/mL or above
  4. If Fail, see Failed Test Result Protocol for instructions to make your water safe again.

Troubleshooting

  • If no lines appear, test is invalid. Repeat testing instructions with a new test kit.
  • Make sure that each step is followed closely, and the timer is set to the exact times noted in the instructions.
  • Too much water in the vial can dilute the reagent preventing any lines from displaying.
