What is it indicated for?

BioClear Concentrate is intended to be diluted daily into tap water and placed in an independent dental reservoir bottle system, which would act as the sole supply of water for the Dental Operative Unit. There, the diluted BioClear Concentrate would act as a constantly present, potable, antimicrobial agent. It has been found to aid in the control of the microbial population in dental unit waterlines.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
