Key Advantages of _FAST_Check15™

The _FAST_Check15™ waterline test offers several key advantages over existing testing methods:

• Rapid, Reliable Results: Unlike traditional methods that require sending samples to a lab or time-consuming in-office tests, _FAST_Check15™ delivers accurate results in just 15 minutes.
• User-Friendly: The easy-to-read test strip eliminates potential for interpretation errors, with one line indicating a passed test and two lines signaling a failed result.
• Affordable: _FAST_Check15™ costs about half as much as paddle tests and only a fraction compared to lab tests, effectively removing financial barriers to regular testing.
• Comprehensive Support: Backed by Sterisil®’s Water Safety Team and the Solmetex® My Solutions Center, dental practices receive the resources they need to meet regulatory requirements.
• Flexibility: _FAST_Check15™ can be used any day of the week, ensuring timely results during operating hours.

Integrated Water Safety Solution

The _FAST_Check15™ is an essential component of the comprehensive Sterisil® SafeWater Protocol, which seamlessly integrates with the broader Solmetex® System of Solutions to provide complete dental unit waterline (DUWL) management. Together, these solutions ensure that dental practices can consistently deliver safe, compliant water to patients.
