Sterilization Services
Water quality is crucial in healthcare facilities, as it is essential for cleaning instruments and equipment used in surgeries and procedures. The water used in washer-disinfectors and for generating steam in autoclaves must meet high purity standards.
Filtration goal in this process:
- Removing pathogens prevents contamination of instruments, equipment, and the autoclave.
- Clean autoclaves and/or washers reduce maintenance
The challenges:
- Pathogens found in water and air can lead to the contamination of instruments, systems, and equipment.
The filtration solutions:
- Remove particulates to protect carbon cartridges and RO membrane.
- Reduce chlorine, chloramine and organics using formulated activated carbon cartridges.
- Physically remove bacteria combined or not with endotoxins from renal loop.
