The Brief Self-Administered Waterless Empirical Taste Test™ (WETT®-SA27) is an easy and inexpensive method for quantitatively evaluating taste function. Delivery of tastants is via disposable plastic strips with proprietary pads of monomer cellulose that are embedded with either sucrose (sweet), citric acid (sour), sodium chloride (salty), caffeine (bitter), monosodium glutamate (umami), or blank tastants. No liquid rinsing is required. The test strips are located in two pouches or packages from which they can be individually removed for testing. The first pack contains strips numbered from 1 to 13 and the second contains strips numbered 14 to 27.
A non-powered, flavoured device intended to be used to assess a patient’s gustatory function (sense of taste). It typically consists of a flavoured stick(s) intended to be placed on the tongue of the patient, followed by patient description of taste perception. This is a single-use device.
