ProEdge QuickPass Instructions

QuickPass™
Instructions
The QuickPass™ In-Office Dental Water Test provides a means for simple, microbiological analysis of
procedural water for dental treatment. Each QuickPass™ provides an estimated heterotrophic plate count
to measure compliance with the CDC standard for safe water of ≤500 CFU/mL.
Directions for Use:
1. SAMPLE
Remove the paddle from the clear vial casing and take a water sample direct
from dental unit, device, or line into the vial.
2. SOAK
Reinsert the paddle firmly into the vial and lay it grid membrane filter side down
for at least 1 minute to allow the water to soak into the media pad.
3. INCUBATE
Remove the paddle, pour out the water, and reinsert the paddle. Lay grid
membrane filter side down at room temperature for 48 - 72 hours before
reading the results.
Understanding Your Results:
0 - 200
CFU/mL
Once incubation is complete, remove the paddle from the vial casing and examine the gridded filter. Bacteria colonies
will present as red, orange, or opaque spots or film. Compare your paddle with the chart above to find your range.
Err on the side of caution. Bacteria counts are estimated values based on R2A correlation. If exact bacteria counts are
desired, or results vary widely, we recommend testing with ProEdge Mail-In Water Test Kits. Depending on your results,
remedial action may be necessary to clean your waterlines. See back page for guidance.
