The BluTube@Dental Unit Water Purification Cartridge is for use on dental unit water lines attached to the dynamic dental instruments, i.e., high-speed handpiece, three-way airwater syringe and ultrasonic scaler. This cartridge in conjunction with currently recommended practices regarding sterilization and flushing of dental instruments reduces bacteria from the water supplied to the instruments to less than 200 CFU/mL, a level that will meet or exceed the current American Dental Association (ADA) recommendations for water quality.

BluTube® is a dental unit waterline purification cartridge intended for use at dental offices to reduce microbial bioburden in dental unit waterlines (DUWLs). BluTube® is placed in-line with the pick-up tube of the water supply bottle of a dental operative unit (DOU). Once installed, water flows into the device and through the iodinated resin chamber. Bacterial populations in the treated water are reduced through the antimicrobial action of iodine, which is released from the iodinated resin and into the treated water. Treated water expelled from BluTube® can be used as an irrigant/coolant for nonsurgical dental procedures and is appropriate for use in dental instruments like air/water syringes or high-speed handpieces.
