Step-by-Step Workflow

How Dental DUWL Works

1

Map Operatories

Register dental chairs, reservoir bottle configurations, autoclaves, and amalgam separators into your clinic registry.

2

Scan Chairside QR Tags

Dental assistants scan chair QR codes to confirm morning line flushes, tablet additions, and shock disinfection cycles.

3

Export Audit Reports

Validate CFU counts stay ≤500 CFU/mL, track spore test logs, and generate 1-click inspection binders for State Dental Boards.
