The BIOPURE 200/300/600 reduces the contamination risk to patients by feeding high purity water at the point of use to large automated washer disinfectors and endoscope reprocessors.
Overview
It is specifically designed for sterile services/decontamination and endoscopy and is ideal for preventing the depositions commonly associated with using mains water to rinse endoscopes and automated endoscope reprocessors (AER).
The compact cabinet-style system can generate flows of 200, 300 or 600 litres of biopure water every hour and integrates easily with multiple washers from a wide variety of manufacturers, offering a unique opportunity for medical facilities to future-proof their washer systems.
Features and Benefits
The Biopure 200/300/600 cost-effectively provides biopure water at rates of 200 to 600 litres/hr.
Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
Integral Class "A" Air Break-tank on feedwater supply | To comply with local by-laws and save space |
High efficiency Reverse Osmosis membrane | For broad removal of organic/inorganics |
Integral 350 litre biopure water reservoir with bacterial vent filter to maintain microbiological integrity and spay ball return to ensure full coverage of internal surfaces | To prevent biofilm build up |
Variable speed recirculation pump | To provide instantaneous delivery flow whilst minimising temperature gain and noise levels |
Ultra-violet steriliser | For continual bacteria destruction and maintenance of low microbiological levels |
Ultrafiltration membrane | Providing final security against microbiological and particulate contamination |
Integrated self-disinfection facility | To maintain the system in a hygienic state |
Comprehensive monitoring and control system | To support validation and protect downstream processes by inhibiting bacterial growth opportunities |
Hygienic sample point | To ensure reliable and consistent off line water quality monitoring |
Small footprint (Depth and Width) | Maximises use of space |
