A diverse range of filtration membranes for ‘critical contamination control’ in healthcare, specifically engineered for the filtration of hospital water, respiration, parenteral therapy, general surgical applications, and blood component therapy, is offered by Pall Medical.
The company explained: “We are sensitive to the intense pressures for costcontainment, and to the increased focus on preventative care. Our emphasis is thus not only on improving patient outcomes, but also on reducing the overall cost of providing that care.” The Pall-Aquasafe water filter range includes variants to protect against Legionella spp. or other waterborne microorganisms in water used for drinking or showering. Waterborne organisms such as Legionella spp, Pseudomonas spp, Aspergillus spp, Cryptosporidium spp, and Mycobacterium spp, may, Pall points out, ‘be of particular concern to immuno-compromised patients’. Pall-Aquasafe water filters provide an instantaneous, validated, clinical barrier to the passage of a variety of waterborne contaminants’, and can be quickly connected to taps or showers for ‘instant protection’.
