Objective:

To highlight the importance of dental waterline testing.

Approach:
  • Testing Methodology: FASTCheck15 is a chairside water quality test that provides results in about 15 minutes, indicating whether water meets safety standards.
  • Complementary Testing: It is recommended to use FASTCheck15 alongside lab-based R2A testing for comprehensive waterline monitoring.
Key Findings:
  • Many dental practices underestimate the risks of untreated waterlines.
  • FASTCheck15 offers a quick pass/fail result for water safety.
  • The test is easy to use and provides results similar to a pregnancy or COVID test.
Interpretation:

FASTCheck15 is a chairside water quality test that provides results in about 15 minutes.

Limitations:
  • FASTCheck15 does not replace the detailed analysis provided by lab-based R2A testing.
Conclusion:

FASTCheck15 provides a clear indication of whether tested water meets standards or if there is contamination present in the line.
