The Parkell PureClarity™ Scaler Waterline Purification System1 transforms any source water into EPA-compliant water (<500 CFU/ml) for up to 6 months.2 By utilizing an innovative biopharmaceutical-grade microporous membrane, PureClarity filters remove harmful bacteria, pathogens, and contaminants through a chemical-free process.
The PureClarity Scaler Waterline Purification System includes the filter and the Parkell Shock Syringe1 for simple loading of shock solutions into any dental unit or waterline (via Luer-lock connection) for removal of bacterial colonies and biofilm prior to filter installation.1
Features & Benefits:
- EFFORTLESS INSTALLATION: The filter and "shock syringe" both connect via standard Luer-lock quick-connect fittings, which come preinstalled on most magnetostrictive and piezo scaler waterlines. Handpiece and air-water syringe tubing can also be easily modified to Luer-lock. Installation requires no opening of junction boxes or accessing internal bottle system components.
- ELIMINATES COMPLIANCE BLIND SPOTS: PureClarity provides an easy one-two punch solution for those units still directly connected to municipal water. Shock by loading the included syringe with the manufacturer recommended shock solution. Then protect by affixing the PureClarity filter.
- LONG-LASTING PURIFICATION: PureClarity filters provide clean, safe water for up to 6 months.2 To achieve the full useful life of the PureClarity filter, it should be installed in series (downstream from) a Parkell Sediment Filter (which removes any larger debris upstream of the PureClarity filter).
Validation of Complete Bacterial Filtration: PureClarity filters were subjected to validation studies in the form of high-bacteria-load studies in accordance with the international standard ASTM F838-05. The values set forth above are bacterial loads.
RESULTS: PureClarity filters prevented pass-through of all test bacteria.
- Depends on total dissolved solids (TDS) in source water and volume of water used.
- PureClarity filters were challenged with >10colony forming units (CFU) of B. diminuta (ATCC #19146) per cmp of filtration area and any CFU in the filtrate being quantified and in accordance with ASTM F838-05.
