Tandrup, the Danish-based water safety product manufacturer, has added a new series of pointof-use Tap Filters to its T-Safe Medical range.
The product launch follows the success of the first-generation T-Safe 92-day filter, now used by over 350 hospitals across the NHS in the fight against infection from waterborne pathogens. MD, Stephen McCreanor, said: “We engaged with NHS Estates and Infection Control personnel, and Authorising Engineers, to understand how to improve on an already successful product offering. During our discussions several common themes came into sharp focus. It became clear that the demands on water safety were both increasing and changing, due to several factors.”
Tandrup’s research identified that users were most concerned about the flow performance of their filters, and their usability for effective handwashing, the risks of retrograde contamination, effective cleaning, and management of filter usage. The ‘secondgeneration’ tap filters have been designed to address these issues via a host of new features:
- 31-day & 92-day lifecycle filters.
- Optional laminar flow and standard outlets.
- Increased ‘activity space’.
- Smooth bore external surfaces, and a ‘clean stop’ mechanism.
Tandrup has also developed a comprehensive filter cleaning guide in consultation with NHS infection control teams, and introduced a collaboration with ZetaSafe that will facilitate electronic management of filter deployment. Stephen McCreanor added: “We feel we have responded well to our customers’ evolving needs, and the practical challenges they face, through innovation, while continuing to offer value for money – something T-Safe users are accustomed to.’’
