Process water treatment in clinics
A system for the production of demineralised water, which is used as process water in treatment, is a combination of several components. In order to optimise these work processes, the DGSV advises stricter limit values. Many hospital management teams and AEMP managers are already adapting their process water production to these new requirements. This has several advantages. In addition to legal certainty, this results in direct cost savings.
Damage to medical devices is minimised:
Limescale deposits, corrosion and silicate deposits, which are visible signs of poor process water quality in instruments and devices, are observed much less frequently. This helps to increase service life and reliability and reduce the need for expensive repairs or replacement purchases. In addition, the efficiency of sterilisation and cleaning processes is improved, which in turn reduces operating costs and increases the safety of patient care.

The Testomat® LAB TH devices determines the water hardness (residual total hardness) fully automatically by use of titration and has been developed for monitoring the water quality of water treatment plants, drinking water plants, industrial boilers and for monitoring process water, here in a package for monitoring two measuring points. In view of the fact that the Testomat® LAB TH total water hardness analysers were developed for use in multi-parameter systems or for connection to a higher-level control system, we hereby offer you both Testomat® LAB TH analysis devices in combination with the NeoTecMaster®, which was specially developed by our company, as a complete solution at a preferential price. The 4-channel NeoTecMaster® multi-parameter controller included in this package enables the processing of up to four measurement signals in this version. A signal input on the NeoTecMaster® , in this case the RS232 interface and one additional RS232 interface on the included NeoTec Slave module , are used by both Testomat® LAB TH to display the measured values, the trend and the status messages on the 5 inch screen. In addition to the on board RS232 interface, the NeoTecMaster® also has a Modbus RTU input, which you can use freely after brief technical consultation with us. (Pre-check whether your existing measurement technology to be integrated requires adjustments). The NeoTecMaster® can be systematically supplemented with further optional NeoTec modules (function / signal converter modules) as required, thus enabling the future realisation of further control concepts in a flexible manner. A module that fundamentally expands the range of functions and is already included in the scope of delivery is our NeoTec slave relay module with which you can add potential-free relay contacts to the overall system. You can freely assign these to the incoming measurement signals and thus, for example, implement limit value-related control concepts, as well as output measurement-related messages.

The pre-filter section is a filter unit consisting of a pre-filter with backwash and an activated carbon filter. It was developed for use in regions with poor water quality. Its main purpose is to protect downstream softening and osmosis systems that could be damaged by impurities in the water. Pre-filter with backwash: This filter mechanism removes coarse dirt particles and impurities from the water. The backwash technology allows the filter to be cleaned regularly, ensuring a long service life and constant performance. Activated carbon filter: The activated carbon filter removes chemical impurities, chlorine and unpleasant odours that are often found in drinking water. This additionally purifies the water and improves its quality. This pre-filter section efficiently protects your downstream systems by removing coarse particles, organic substances and chemicals. The pre-filter section is available in three different versions. Basic version Standard version Advanced version 882027 Advanced variant Pre-filtration consisting of an automatically operating backwash filter (backwash interval programmable), downstream activated carbon filter and pressure booster for the inlet to the pre-filtration. A pressure boost must be provided for line pressures < 3 bar in order to ensure a sufficiently high inlet pressure for the under-sink system.

Water sterilisation by UV irradiation The development of water sterilisation using UV radiation has made considerable progress in recent years due to its simplicity and efficiency. The UV-C rays generated, which are significantly more intense than sunlight, are therefore used to disinfect water in order to counteract water contamination. They make it possible to remove legionella, microbes, bacteria, viruses and protozoa while respecting the environment. The irradiation process is therefore an ideal solution for killing microorganisms in water and helps to make it drinkable from a bacteriological point of view. However, it is important to note that water is only considered drinking water once the chemical parameters have been checked and deemed satisfactory. Applications - Origin of the water Rainwater: UV treatment extends the range of applications and offers increased safety during use Well water: Avoidance of possible contamination by pathogens Tap water: UV treatment extends the area of application and increases safety. Spring water, surface water: Guarantees constant water quality that is flawless from a bacteriological point of view. Storage water in containers (caravan, boat...): Use of stored water for sanitary purposes. Areas of application General nutrition, bath and shower Cooking Large-volume refrigerators Cold water fountains Aquarium Cleaning food Advantages Quick and easy installation Completely physical sterilisation through UV radiation Natural water treatment without additives and without the risk of chemical overdose No unpleasant taste or odour Effective methods for combating microorganisms that cause disease in humans No toxic by-products Low maintenance

The reliable supply of demineralized water (demineralized water) to the AEMP is a critical factor for the flawless reprocessing of medical devices. Decision-makers in hospitals are faced with key questions: What are the requirements for water quality? Which pipe materials are suitable? How can a standard-compliant, hygienic and economical solution be planned and implemented? We support you in all project phases - from technical planning to material selection and implementation - with the following focal points: Determination of demand & load profiles: Analysis of peak consumption (e.g. washer-disinfectors, autoclaves), design of water treatment and storage solutions according to AEMP capacity. We take into account not only current but also future requirements. Requirements of current DGSV and AKI guidelines: Ensuring compliance with the required limit values for conductivity and silicates. Line design & material selection Technology concept: selection of suitable DI system technology Economic efficiency analysis: focus on life cycle costs, energy efficiency and maintenance costs. Our manufacturer-independent advice ensures that your investment functions reliably, compliantly and efficiently in the long term - in the interests of patient, operator and process safety.
The regular validation of the entire reprocessing process and its repeated implementation in the event of interventions or changes within the reprocessing process is an essential instrument for demonstrating process reliability. In the course of our work as technical experts, we verify the overall process, assist you with sustainable documentation, continuously monitor the effectiveness of the measures introduced, coordinate the involvement of all process participants and make recommendations for the involvement of authorised external accredited bodies and specialist companies.
Intended use The terminal membrane filters are specially designed to protect consumers from all waterborne pathogens. This is achieved through validated sterile filtration, which leaves the chemical composition of the water unchanged. It is used to prevent nosocomial infections caused by waterborne germs such as Legionella pneumophila, Pseudomona, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella or other pathogens that are common in facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, sports facilities, residential facilities and low or high risk day care centres. Properties The housing of the terminal sterile filter, which has been treated, inhibits the development of bacteria and the risk of retrograde contamination, whether through splashing water or direct contact. The flow rate remains constant and at a high level over a period of 92 days. Installation is quick and easy using a quick-release fastener or thread. The H2Ower 4500 has a standard thread (1/2"), allowing it to be fitted directly to the shower hose without additional accessories.
