Silicate Monitoring for Safe Water Treatment in Medical Facilities Silicates (SiO₂) are mineral components found dissolved in water. When present in high concentrations, they can cause deposits in pipelines, as well as on medical instruments and equipment. These deposits not only affect the functionality of devices but can also compromise the sterility of medical instruments, jeopardizing patient safety. Therefore, continuous monitoring of silicate levels is a critical aspect of water treatment in hospitals and medical centers. Testomat 808 Silicate – Accurate Limit Monitoring The Testomat 808 Silicate enables continuous limit monitoring of silicate levels, ensuring safe water treatment. The device ensures that the prescribed silicate limits are consistently met, maintaining the efficiency of water systems as well as the functionality and sterility of medical equipment. Furthermore, compliance with the DGSV limits (German Society for Sterile Supply) for water quality is ensured, meeting the highest hygiene and safety standards. Compliance with DGSV Limits The German Society for Sterile Supply (DGSV) sets strict limits for water quality in medical facilities to ensure the safety and sterility of instruments and devices. Regular monitoring and adherence to these limits are crucial to minimize the risk of contamination and deposits in water systems. Devices like the Testomat 808 Silicate help ensure these limits are met by continuously monitoring silicate levels and ensuring that the established standards for safe and hygienic water treatment are met. Compliance with DGSV limits is essential to maintain the highest level of patient safety and hygiene standards in clinical practice.
