The Self-Administered Waterless Empirical Taste Test™ (WETT®-SA53) is an easy and inexpensive method for quantitatively evaluating taste function. Delivery of tastants is via 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 four pouches or packs from which they can be individually removed for testing. The first pack contains strips numbered from 1 to 13, the second contains strips numbered 14 to 27, the third pack from 28 to 40, and fourth pack from 41 to 53.
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.
