Industry Solutions - Hospitals

With the publicity surrounding the healthcare system regarding MRSAs, today's hospitals are under ever-increasing pressure in the fight against HAI's, striving to ensure the best possible conditions for patients and healthcare staff alike.

Active surveillance of infections that were acquired within a hospital can lead to the treatment of contaminated water delivery systems. It is this surveillance which has drawn attention to the need for an active programme to control the growth of Legionella bacteria, for the safety of patients and staff (please refer to the Health and Safety Requirements section for more information).

People with compromised immune systems are at particularly high risk for contracting Legionnaires' disease and facilities (such as hospitals and care homes) that care for these people should monitor water supplies for the Legionella bacteria.

Rather than install a costly building-wide sterilisation system, Ster-O-Tap allows you to serve each point individually, saving money while ensuring that you are decreasing the risk of infection to patients and staff.

Call AquaChem now and find out how you can ensure that all people in your building are protected from the risks of Legionnaires' disease. Tel: 00353 (0)1 8252775 or email: info@aquachem.ie.
