Corrective Action:
After reading your QuickPass™ results, use this table to
determine the necessary action to achieve or maintain
safe waterlines.
If your results indicate microbial counts in the caution
range (200 to 500 CFU/mL), shock within one week
and continue quarterly testing. If your results indicate
a count of ≥501 CFU/mL, shock your waterlines
immediately and then retest.
Review your waterline treatment product's instructions for use to determine shock protocol. If unclear,
contact ProEdge for guidance or for more information about shocking, visit ProEdgeDental.com/Shock.
Consult with a Safe Water Specialist:
Dental unit waterlines are complex environments that can become contaminated due to several variables.
Failures for new testers are common.
To help, every QuickPass™ test comes with a consultation with the Team @ ProEdge. Your Water Safety
Specialist will be able to help you read your QuickPass™ results, learn best practices, identify probable
causes of failure, and improve your results quickly.

Document Your Results:
ProEdge recommends documenting your QuickPass™ results every
time you test your waterlines and to maintain your records for at least
five years.
You can download and print the complimentary QuickPass™ Testing
Log at ProEdgeDental.com/QP-Log.
Recommended Testing Protocol:
Routine clinical monitoring of your waterline safety is the only way to ensure
that treatment procedures are performed correctly and that your water
exceeds the standard for safety (≤ 500 CFU/mL).
How often should practices test? ProEdge recommends following the
guidelines set by the Organization for Safety, Asepsis, and Prevention (OSAP):
Test your waterlines every month
›
Once passing results are consistent, test quarterly
›
Retest your waterlines after corrective action to ensure effectiveness
